A Saguaro Mailbox... a double mailbox even!

Gimme a second to come down from the high of getting this one in on time, and I'll come up with something fun.   :)

Ok... after some serious thought...

The new mark is a domed building or a building with a domed roof of some sort.  It can be the old dome building on the corner now converted to a hair dressing studio or a state building with a glimmering dome! 

Hint: round structures are easy to spot from aerial photos... check google earth or google maps satellite images near you, or far if you like. 

Have a nice ride!

Good job Hef!! 

Just to clarify, does the dome need to be ROTUNDA sized or will a domed bell tower or Widow's Watch  on top of the building do?

Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

hmmmm... good question. 

Usually if its a domed roof of any kind, including bell towers and the like, they are interesting architecturally.  Now, race to the domes!!

I'd go out right now and get this one, except the only domed roof nearby is right next to my work, and since I just got home from work I really don't feel like going back.

The thing about round buildings is people pull in front of them to take pictures all the time... I thought I might get shot taking pictures of the mailbox.  Be safe out there guys!  lol

I knew this one would get snapped up quickly... now name the next mark so I can get 2 in one day!

I lost my reply, hmmm, This is Louis Lakis ford in Galesburg IL. I got the camera working and got there before dark.

If I'm up next, the next mark is a hitching post.

Beat me to it Don.  I was painting the garage today. ;)  Might be my last ride of the season.


I gotta say that is one fine looking machine and I might add that it shows you have extremely good taste in motorcycles and is a sure sign of an intelligent individual.

It's a bit louder but nice and mellow. I just sold one to someone here, it's a glasspack, I also have an auger baffle that cackles a bit. I'm going to list them in the for sale section. They're stainless steel outside, not a perfect chrome match but very close in most light.

Oh, no.  I didn't expect this to satisfy the mark, so I didn't call a new one.  This isn't a real hitchin' post, and they didn't have one - I looked around.  I was just spoofin' on the name of the joint.  :)

I just read through the whole thread so far and this is hilarious.  I just took my exhaust off the bike for coating but I can't wait to get involved.  Keep it up!

Hey Art... are you coating yourself?  if so, what are you using?  I have a spare oven in my garage waiting to bake some powder!

Not to hijack but. No, a guy down the street just opened a ceramic coating shop so he is giving me a deal on Ceramic Silvering.  Should look beautiful with the British racing green tank /seat pan and the white frame.  I can't wait to take some pictures and put them on the site.
