Ramble on the Ambo
« on: September 02, 2016, 12:40:02 PM »
Such a perfect day weather wise here in S. Jersey.  Took a "sick of work" day and headed out for a local ride on the Ambo.  Found this old boat factory nestled in the woods on a back street in Barnegat.  Looks like the calm before the storm.  Gonna get some wind and rain from the approaching hurricane.

Great looking bike...classic! Weather in upper mid west is perfect...70's and clear...I don't know what a "Sneak Box" is...but I think I want one...but then I thought...before you post....have a look.....so here it is the Barnegat sneak box...I have seen several of them for sale along the road in northern Michigan...it's the duck boat of all duck boats...I've seen them canvas covered and all wood and been told that they are extremely quiet in the water....ducks beware!

Great pics. Nothing like a ride on an Ambo to " clear the baffles".
