Actually, we only get nervous if they are predicting an ice storm, and then if it's heavy ice. Very sturdy oak [knocks on wood]. Urban Foresters estimate it to be about 200 years old and so far, very healthy. It better stay that way as the current est. to remove it, should it need to be, is $5,000 (winter) and $7,000 (summer). My wife might make me sell the bike to help pay for it.  :-\ :D

Just be sure that whomever you hire to take it down, leaves the logs cut LONG for YOU to sell to the local hardwood mill.  That'll  help pay for your bike habit!

Red oak or white oak? If white, the builders of large wooden boats would be happy to take it off your hands if it ever came to that.  A neighbor of mine has a black walnut of similar girth in the front yard.$$$

It's a Chinquapin Oak (white oak family??). I don't think it would have much mill value as the process to take it down, because of close quarters, would require chopping it up into very small pieces for removal. Best I could hope for, considering the removal cost, would be to have a slab cut from the lower trunk to make a table.. a damn expensive one at that.  ;)

We also have a Black Walnut, about 70 ft. tall in the front yard. Right now the sucker is dropping bushels of nuts, been a bumper crop year I guess they are the size of lemons.  :'(

Here's a pic just before we headed out West... To Frederick... For Lunch.  The black one was my first bike and now belongs to a friend of mine.  I've since replaced it with the Santee.

I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

Took out the CB360t today for a fall shakedown run up Deer Creek canyon before my buddies wife takes over the build.  This little bike is fast and so much fun to flick into the corners.

The pics are kinda crappy due to the use of my camera phone.

Is that Lake Nokomis? It's a great city for an urban ride with little need to get on the crowded freeway.  Bike looks good.
