Default a few pics

i went scouting for some new dove hunting spots on public land. They were about 45 min south of me so i figured i would take the scoot. I did a little off roading on one of the roads. It was pretty rutted up and I scraped bottom a little.

Also afraid i would run out of gas as there weren't any gas stations along the way. I had to go about 10 miles out of my way to get fuel.

here are some iphong pics....

Don't know why but every time I see those front rotors, I'm reminded of the inserts for 45 records. Nice pics by the way.

You're not a millenial are you?

I haven't even thought about those adapter inserts in a gazillion years.

LOL! Geronimo I've never thought of the 45 inserts before but that's all I can see now. I'm a Gen X and my grandma had a big record player/ radio combination. It was a piece of furniture that was as long as the sofa.


Thanks tlaw! That is my favorite one.
