Motos & Murals

[PJPR01]

Last year and this year a few stops on the Grand Tour of Texas have involved stops at some very cool murals, including my favorite of The Outlaw Josey Wales in Corsicana, Texas.

Posting a few here...let's see your pics if you have found any interesting murals on your travels!

Ah, this post hits me in the heart. I dream of being a full-time muralist, traveling by sidecar to the jobs with paints and materials in the tub. One day maybe.

Nice pics Paul, I'd like to play but that would require me to ride to a city. Not many murals in the boondocks where I ride.

I can see how that would be fun!  Some of these are truly Master pieces...just the sheer scale!

Ha...so true!!

Josey Wales is calling!!  Corsicana is a trek for you...but you could time it with the GRIT rally...I reckon so!!

Terrific displays. Thank you all.
Philadelphia, PA has many murals - especially massive verticals.

I used to be there so often I never thought of missing them. It suddenly got too late.
Thanks for the shake-up.   R3~

That is a beautiful bike, one of my favourites. But would you please put a tyre on it ?

I know one of the muralists who’s done a few in and around the city. He even got to do some big Philadelphia Eagles murals, which to this day makes my eye twitch, especially considering he’s not even a fan of the sport.

I cut my last trip short because my rear tire wore much quicker than I expected but it was nowhere as worn as this one. Don't go too fast or far from home on that one.

Surprised that none of the OZ members have chimed in as yet.  On the island state of Tasmania, the town of Sheffield prides itself with mural art.  Hard to find a flat surface around town that DOESN'T have a mural.  Scroll through a bit of this:

Hmmmm, did I ask for advice?

No you didn’t, that’s why I framed it as a request, not a directive.

That’s only the tread reinforcement layer, he’s not even into the cord body yet. There’s plenty of miles left…
