    I'll be driving by pretty close to Gators tomorrow AM, but not on a bike and I'll keep going to the beach for a few days. You all have a great weekend :thumb

    Grab!

    After reading the whole thread and lurking, waiting for the next exciting installment, I got impatient.

    The shrubbery:

    The rescue!

    Parked in the right place, I hope.

    This would have looked better in the daytime.

    Mr. Miller was reluctant to submit to a photograph but was happy to delegate the task to minions.

    Thanks for the gift card Elkhound!

    I'll post the new tag tomorrow, when there is sufficient light to get useful photos.

    Nice grab - good night pictures - Mr Miller was camera shy for me, too.

    Weather should be improving for the next several days.

    Click on the photos for larger images, if needed.

    I've lived here 9 years and never knew where this track was (though I heard it every Friday/Saturday night, even from a few miles away) until I spotted it after returning from looking at a bike. (Extra points if you find the bike -- its close by on the same road! It should be pretty obvious why I was interested in it from my first picture.)

    I was pressed for time so I wasn't able to get out to a more interesting location. Maybe next time!

    mnd, Was it a old Honda you looked at? Maybe a Silverwing or GL1000? I blew by it pretty fast, didn't get a good look.

    Is it just me, or does that looks a lot like poison ivy?

    Humm... we'll know if I start breaking out!

    It didn't raise any alarm bells and I'm pretty good about noticing, given how allergic I am to it.

    Yesterday I figured I'd leave things to folks with working motorcycles but after finishing re-assembling and re-hanging the engine yesterday evening, and adjusting the valves and timing chain this afternoon I decided this would be a perfect opportunity to run-in the new headgaskets.

    On the way back I passed a possible inmate headed south on 17. Hope you weren't looking for gator, but if you were lets hope you found the ride as nice as I did. Thanks Mica!
