You want a bank, here's a bank

Alright, not quite the bank your looking for. I won't claim this. But I will see if I can find an older bank. At least I had the right bike this time

Chuck, you should swing by some time, I'm on your way to MG.

The old Keedysville Bank, now Keedysville Town Hall.

New tag: public library.

Tom, I thought you were down by Sandy Eggo. I'll send you a PM.

New tag, a historic theater.

It is a Scura luscious kind of riding day here in Texas...weather is hard to beat!

Here’s an old town old time theatre and a new tag! Find a buzzing bee hive of an apiary!

john fish · « **Reply #246 on:** December 26, 2019, 01:44:02 PM »

Some great tags!
It's actually warm here today for Pennsylvania and I was going to get that theater tag. Damn! :) I googled local apiary and there are more around than I thought but it's too late in the day for me to get one. Doubledamn!

PJPR01 · « **Reply #247 on:** December 26, 2019, 08:31:07 PM »

Buzz buzz buzz!

Well...I almost got an old town courthouse nearby as a historic building, but it was under repair and the picture with all of the scaffolding just wasn't that good!

On the plus side, managed a nice 175 mile ride on the Scura today...perfect weather, bike running smooth as silk...hard to beat! Winter in Texas along the Gulf coast is quite pleasant indeed!

OldMojo · « **Reply #248 on:** February 01, 2020, 06:38:42 PM »

I'm bumping this thread in anticipation of some decent riding weather tomorrow (55F!)

Look out unwary beekeepers!

john fish · « **Reply #249 on:** February 02, 2020, 09:49:31 AM »

Thanks, OldMojo.

I've been sick for a few weeks and am looking forward to some vicarious riding. :)

buzzing bee hive

That ain't gonna happen in Indiana in February..

Would a non buzzing beehive work?

Chuck in Indiana · « **Reply #252 on:** February 03, 2020, 07:03:58 AM »

I looked pretty hard to no avail. Maybe too much agriculture/pesticides? I was on mostly state highways, though. Probably needed to get on some of the one lane roads around here if/when it warms up again.

blackcat · « **Reply #253 on:** February 03, 2020, 09:32:16 AM »

Hard to find bee hives close to the road for a photo.

Moparnut72 · « **Reply #254 on:** February 03, 2020, 11:19:51 AM »

I gotta work today and tomorrow but after that the weather is supposed to be fairly warm and I know where there is an apiary.
kk

PJPR01 · « **Reply #255 on:** February 03, 2020, 11:20:24 AM »

Shall I make an easier tag than the apiary?

How about a casino then?

Chuck in Indiana · « **Reply #256 on:** February 03, 2020, 03:34:12 PM »

Ha! I should have googled before we left yesterday. I was within a half mile of an apiary..

T-3Dave · « **Reply #257 on:** February 23, 2020, 12:38:32 PM »

Not exactly a casino, but there is gambling/betting on live greyhound racing and simulcast horse racing. Close enough?

john fish · « **Reply #258 on:** February 23, 2020, 02:33:28 PM »

Sounds good to me. Keep the tag rolling. What's next?

And it's almost 60F here and I went for a hike instead of a ride. Sometimes, I question my judgement.

T-3Dave · « **Reply #259 on:** February 23, 2020, 02:37:19 PM »

All righty then, new tag: A city (or county or state) park

Here it is my "Guzzi at the Park" shot:

Nice. What's the tag? Not that I'll be getting out for a while..

Those are cool...and somewhat vintage, and are known at "Gateway Signs"

girl names that start with ga

Blaufeld66 · « **Reply #263 on:** February 26, 2020, 08:21:39 AM »

So, without a park name my photo doesn't qualify?
Because in Italy, there are NO signs at park entrances...

Not at all...just making an ID of historical "Gateway Signs", that's all. IMHO, ALL photos of Guzzi's always qualify!

Here is the ol' Yellow Horse outside the 50's Diner in Cordes Junction, AZ at a recent breakfast ride.

Sure it does. Now, we need for you to tell us the next tag so we can look for it.

I won't be looking for a while, however..snow, beautiful snow.

Blaufeld66 · « **Reply #266 on:** February 27, 2020, 02:12:22 AM »

Next tag: Hay Bales.

That bike is two-tone Ford Fairlane Fabulous!

What type of paint/prep did you use on the bags? I would think it would be a nightmare trying to get anything to stick to that surface.

Thanks! I went to a color artisan, they gave me a spray primer base for plastic, then made me a can of blue metallic paint from the old Guzzi/Ducati color palette (they still have them 'cos they are car color standards, but with different names), and a generic opaque spray protector. With an expense of about 50 dollars I painted the two bags and half the top case.
The drawing was then done by handbrush by a girl that runs a bike customizer shop (the color is long-lasting, just re-coat it with the protector once a year).

Then I discovered that the only spray metallic blue the local Chinese supermarket sells is the exact hue of the original one... so with another 4 dollars I was able to finish coating the topcase...

Guzzi content.

Well done.
