I gotcher roadside folk art right here.  :grin: This guy obviously has too much time on his hands. Several years ago there was a farm implement dinosaur, and it seems every time I see this place there is something else. You can't begin to see all of it from this picture. (!)

For the tag.. we talk about pie a bit here.. a place where you can get a pie.

Glad you found your dinosaur yesterday Chuck. I'll go look for a pie shop today, maybe. I might just ride around looking for nothing in particular too.

I did make it home on the Soviet POS, in spite of a comment or two form a couple of the lawn chair locals.
Like I told Dave, I superstitious about washing it. It is fairly well maintained, even if it doesn't look like it.

Any bike owned and ridden by a Jet mechanic for the better part of 2 decades outta be in decent riding condition. Cool bike. Seems that POS got the most eyeballs on it.

hmmmm. I do know of a diner south of Seneca Rocks WV that's known for it's pie.  Mainly because the rest of the food is so damn bad.

So what's the new tag? We're unlikely to find a "Trojan buggy" anywhere.

You can specify whatever you like, ZZ. 

And I love the color of your new bike.  Much envy here.

I realize locating a giant wooden horse and buggy may not be fesable. Let's call it a large wooden unusual statue. Does that work for you guys?

Buggies I can find. Large unusual wooden statue.. hmmm. At least it's more likely than a wooden Trojan horse.  :grin:

How about a windmill made of wood?  Does that count?  Not exactly a statue but sort of close!

Nice one, Paul. 

John Henry:  how are those fry pies?  I have a buddy up in Andover and I can ride past Mesopotamia when I go visit him if the pies are good.

Can't say. Although they are keeping it quiet, - is spreading like wildfire in the Amish community. Passing them on the road is as close as I'm willing to get.

OK bridge + river + guzzi.  Took the refurbished bacon slicer to the nearest 100 year old bridge.

   


Bridge is 1915 pin connected truss built by Toledo Bridge and Crane.  "Longest pin-connected highway bridge" in the state!

Was going to sit this one out because I had no idea where to find old highway equipment. Going for a ride today and 15 miles from home:

New tag: old bank that is no longer a bank.





Don’t even think of burgling. It’s covered.
