Earliest I could possibly make it out there is Friday to replace that ugly **** in the pic with a softail...


Neat challenge - hopefully someone will beat me to it! Seen a lot of neat ones around the country (and I *KNOW* they exist world wide)! Some of them are even still in operation.

Does it have to be a grist mill specifically, or can it be any water-driven mill? They used water power for a lot of stuff, including trip hammers for iron work and running sawmills, for example.
Yea I just used a grist mill as an example but any water-driven mill or water wheel like the one in the pic will work.

This is one I was going to use an an example

Finally broke my cherry!!





(Edit) Forgot to mention that after a Labor Day weekend in the upper 90's and heat indexes over 100 in Ohio.... That it is 65 degrees as I'm taking this picture!! Yes, I ride 2 hours to visit an ice cream place with a working water wheel, and I'm too damn cold to eat ice cream. But the thread worked... I left work early and got in a ride!!

Next up... Your bike with a pair of female identical twins posing next to it.

Glasses, etc on seat. This one can be conquered worldwide.

Even if there was a bike in that picture nobody would have noticed.
P.S. I am selling my bike for tennis lessons.
