Lady R (Di) said...: OMG! The second reminds me of a Praying Mantis! Can't get my head around that! LOL!; April 4, 2009 at 5:03 AM
Nikos said...: I go for the top one - looks like a sherman tank engine also used on Waco biplanes!; April 4, 2009 at 5:19 AM

GMG said...: Hi Baron! I wonder how do they run them... Probably they're just to be seen... ;)
Lots of fun everytime I land here! Thanks!!

India 2008 has come to an end at Blogtrotter, but there is lots to see there, still in the BRIC countries… ;). Enjoy and have a great Sunday!; April 4, 2009 at 4:28 PM
Voegtli said...: Amazing. Just last night in the news they showed motorbikers who are on the road again as the weather is becoming "clement" in Switzerland.

I told my wife that it would be great to have a motorbike and do this trips. Across the mountain passes. She agrees. But I told her that I would be afraid. What if a tire busts? But then, it seems that they never bust tires?; April 4, 2009 at 9:07 PM

The second bike is just plain ugly. Can't imagine why anyone would build something that bizarre. It looks unfinished, like there should be a little seat between the headlight and front wheel. But different strokes I guess.; April 5, 2009 at 8:12 AM
Lance said...: Baron, these are great! I especially like the John Deere one in your earlier post - that would make mowing fun!; April 5, 2009 at 9:34 AM

I saw one guy coming fast from behind my mirror and thought,
oh oh, this looks like trouble so I applied my brakes slowly to slow down the car. He passed me and then cut me off and right then his tire blew.
Had I not had my foot on the brake I think I would have gone over his head three times.
His bike went back and forth in front of my car hitting the cement wall of the highway and the sidewalk 3 times.
I stopped my car and watched him get up with a very pale face and look at me eye to eye but he looked ok.He brushed himself off and went to pick up his bike.
I was so upset with his behavior I drove off and my body shook for over an hour at the prospect of what I could have had as a memory in my head.
Some one was watching over the both of us that day. Me not to hit him and him to be taught a BIG lesson.I think he got it.

When I am on the highway doing long distance driving in the car I watch out for bikers. If I see a lone one, I follow him at a safe distance and when he changes lanes I block traffic behind him.I love when they behave. lol

Usually the bikers I dealt with appreciated the gesture. They kinda figured out what I was doing and would wave a thanks when we finally parted road strips.

This way I know I won't hit them and neither will any one else.

I will never forget that first encounter with a biker to the day I die.; April 5, 2009 at 1:34 PM
