I rode mine past a Bucyrus Eure 22B this fall. Later, I thought it would have taken a good picture.
I remember one of those shovels as a kid in the 60s at a sand put just a few miles from where I live now. That pit is now all overgrown pine trees.
One of my nephews was running a 50 yard bucket shovel at a gold mine in Northern Nevada 4 years ago. He sat in a cab 45' off the ground. He had to take a lunch up with him and a pee bottle as the operators weren't allowed to get out of the cab during their shift without a replacement operator to keep it working filling the constant flow of Utes moving the tailings they were shifting through to extract the small percentage of gold that wasn't extracted when gold prices were low.

 This one is a cable shovel, there were also drag line configurations. (I had to look it up) It's in a former coal strip mine area and the property owner moved it out by the highway a couple years ago. There are a lot of lakes left behind, it wasn't reclaimed to farmland back when this all was mined. There were a few of the big diggers when I was younger, you could see then from 20 miles away, they were electric and the power lines followed them wherever they went.

Time is running fine... soon there. I have photos from last years when I got a ride or 2 in early April.
Snow can return so wait a week or 2 for next. Then only rain that can stop the fun.
Both my bikes should have everything adjusted, hopefully smooth rides only.

Both bikes will get  carb cleaning fuel additive at first rides.  It made a big difference on my K6 last fall.

Nice shots Andy and Jeff.
I haven't had my 750 out yet this spring but a couple of my friends came out tonight to be part of the 90-100+ bikes at bike nite for a great late April evening of 72°F.
Brad on his 76 750F1, Greg on his 77 550K and Mike V on his just finished 71 750K1. And a plethora of other bikes. I was on my wing tonight.
