Thanks. Just installed the micro-flooters and rizoma mirrors and felt compelled to photograph them.

This building is surrounded by long time residents who keep a very watchful eye on who drives down that street, including the person that lives in the back of the store. Every time we go there, we are greeted by a friendly local, as well as a few wondering sheep.

I wonder what wandering sheep wonder about?

Most likely wondering why the sheep on Rrider's bike is smiling.

Moral - don't ever make a spelling error on a Beemer list. Over on the Guzzi list they use Phonetic spelling and life is a lot easier.

Look at the expression on the dog's face, and how he is running. I suspect he thinks he's next if he doesn't get out the way fast!!

Nice pictures.

Is that a Russel seat you have there?
Are you liking it?

The seat is Rick Mayer. I've had a Corbin, Sargent, and stock, and the Mayer is much more comfortable. Depending on where you live, it's worth a trip to his shop to have one custom made.

Isn't Phonetic the language of the ancient Eastern Mediterranean seafaring people? I didn't know they made motorcycles.

If it is then they were a very reasonable people that spelled things the way they sounded. I after E, there, their, they're, see, sea and all the other crazy stuff just causes problems. Probably the reason for the misunderstandings that lead to people getting mad at each other on the Internet. The best form of communication is around a campfire with a beer in your hand. Can you imagine the leaders of major countries sitting back in a comfortable (Kermit) chair, with a cool one in their hand watching the flames dance and discussing our worlds problems. Might work.

I can imagine that, but only if they're drinking Big Sky IPAs.
