Heck ya, a dry lake will work. I think the idea of you starting this was just to get the Boys out and about. It worked on us.

My Wife looks real small next to this one.

I was Navy so I took the other one for my post.

Took a Memorial Day ride today. And ended up at national cemetery and then the Capital Lakes. The cemetery was really a sad place and as I stood there looking over the rows and rows of "Unknowns" I think of how many of those died all alone with no one to comfort them or promising take messages to their families. Is all those soldiers were just sitting there talking the combined vocals would be a low roar. Very sad, very sad.

I understand, Memorial Day is a strange day for us that made it home. We kind of have a little guilt feelings at times.
Veterans Day is our day.

Yesterday, our pastor asked all veterans to stand and be recognized. I appreciated his intentions but like most he just does not understand that Memorial Day is for those of us who made the ultimate sacrifice and can't stand to be recognized. I stood not for myself but for my uncle who died in 1918 and my Cousin who died on some God forsaken LZ in Vietnam in 1969. Not only did they pay the ultimate price but their families were never the same afterwards.

Now back to the game.

Capital Lakes in Baton Rouge for a match

New challenge:

Get photo of scooter in front of a field piece. It can be breech or muzzle loading.

I believe thus to be a 155mm, Long Tom, M1 or M2.

Can I play? I don't own a scooter anymore. Just my ever trusty Honda 750 Nighthawk. (and maybe a Yamaha Virago 1100 soon)

[skunkhome]

Guitarman, it's ok with me. I think it's more about the ride then the bike. Others may disagree but I don't look down at anyone for riding a motorcycle.

This is just for eye candy, not part of the game.

Well, it looks like this is dead. I guess it's the wrong focus for this site.

[Guitarman]

I don't think it's dead. Give it time. Most of us here are wrenching on our rides.

I'm waiting for temperatures above 50 degrees.

[skunkhome]

Ok enough is enough! Here's another that any of you guys should be able to find.

Out making groceries on Piaggio with new top trunk.

[Guitarman]

Cool. If I would think of taking pictures, I'd be able to post pages of them. But that's my wifes thing.
And she doesn't ride that much. I'll try and think of it more often.

[skunkhome]

Well, nothing could be easier unless no one is actually getting out and riding. Really can't believe there is no interest in a game what involves riding. It's too cold, traffic is to heavy, my camera doesn't work, my scooter is broke, I'm having a bad hair day.

You will have to wait until I can legally own a scooter.
