What the hell are YOU?
While the bigness and orangeness of this is perhaps arguable, did you know that Home Depot has a trademark on the color orange?



The building itself is also quite orange.



Show me a motorcycle near/on/adjacent to a frozen lake. If you live somewhere the lakes don't freeze (or won't freeze, what's up climate change), go for a skating rink.

Temp is above 10 Celsius which both means I'm good to ride and there's definitely no frozen lakes. Which is sad in this speed skating obsessed country. So here's the local 400m indoor track instead.

Seeing as my bike has a nice yellow sticker of the university motorcycle club on the front fender I'd like to see a picture at some cool higher education landmark.

Heh, the only reason I have it is because one of the guys at the university motorcycle club was looking to sell it (one of 3 BIGs he owned!) to a member at discount just while I was looking for my first bike. I was actually looking for a transalp 600 I could afford. But this was going for 800 euros so I took it. I had no idea about it's "cult" status.

Noted, the front brake is poo poo though.

Fun story, guy I bought it from used the money to buy some 125cc two stroke Italian.
He also tried to kludge EFI on his other BIG and blew it up.

In front of the "Begging Bear" statue in front of the University of Guelph Art Gallery. They have an awesome Gryphon statue as well but there's no easy way to park and get a shot in front of it.

The bear is currently donning some protective gloves since we're in the end-times. How about a photo of your bike in a vast deserted area that would otherwise be full, to go with the theme?

Seriously this thing has the ergonomics of a goddamn brick.

That sculpture looked familiar - turns out that artist designed a sculpture that stands at my alma mater. Dude's got a style. Students always called it "the mosquito," but the more infamous sculpture on campus was The Man Who Used to Hunt Cougars for Bounty, better known as "Man Humping Bear."

I miss live music and baseball. I've never seen this street empty before, so I guess I could have parked in the middle of the road and taken a picture of both sides, but the action shot will suffice I hope.



I also took a picture of a monument. Perhaps the greatest landmark in Boston, the Miller's River Potato Monument. It's also roughly the same color as my bike.

Castle's are sculptures right?

And since some very dumb guards were in here, holding the prince captive in Monty Python, given that they were junk at guarding, perhaps that extends to the castle?

Doune Castle today in Stirling, Scotland, where I was testing my eyesight:



Also, I rode past the David Stirling memorial https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/doune/stirlingmemorial/index.html :
