Was going to have four coworkers park around my bike and snap a pic... Clarify or new target? |

Was going to have four coworkers park around my bike and snap a pic... Clarify or new target? Yeah, sorry. I figured there were a lot of commuters (in states that don't allow lane splitting) that experience that misery daily, and could hop off and get a quick picture. Retracted Next target: Your bike with one of those stainless-steel diners in the background. Bonus is it's an airstream trailer. Dang I miss those. We had one on the Berlin Turnpike when I was growing up- good greasy food any time of day. Attached File |

I finally got one! Taken a few hours ago at Valley of the Gods, Utah. The first one was running water, but looked a bit like a puddle. Fortunately, there was another half way through.
