I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Nice RD350LC Ken, has the same spiral spoke mags as my 1981 XV920RH, although yours doesn't have a 19" front ;)

Thanks.
Same as my 81  xj650 too. My understanding with the design was they acted like a crumple zone if you hit something bigger and harder than you.
Wouldn't want to test that theory out though.

Wife and I were on the way out to Marblehead Saturday, and I have passed this house on Rt2 for the past 40 years... I didn't get the CB750 in the picture, but this has sat vacant for a long time.

I think Cheka shot the engineer and the rest of population pretended the rain does not to exist after that.

This is what's left of the first European built structure in this area. It was supposedly built partially with stones from a previous native American structure. It's about a mile from my home.

 The first European stuff was built here around the same time 1860,s.
There has bee  evidence found here in several places that Spaniards may have been here long before..
 In think maybe they introduced Horses to N America .. maybe..

In the Arizona Territory in 1840's a Cavalry Captain on patrol found the 10 Commandments in Hebrew chiseled into a Basalt cliff, 6ft. by 4ft.   Also found in rock paintings in caves in the area. in Hebrew... the old Hebrew, which is stick letters.

These are from the Dolores trip last year - had to get to an abandoned gas station for some cover during a sudden downpour. Somewhere in AZ along the 40.
