I can’t believe you found a mural with birds that match you bikes’ names and colors!

Still don't have my CB1100 back from Mom's so I can't submit this for the photo challenge, but it's my favorite mural in Orange County. Snapped it today while we were testing a new job tracking app. 
This is a column on a parking structure located at the former Tustin Marine Corps Air Station. It's mostly redeveloped into high-density housing and offices, and the parking structure was graced with murals painted by Shag, one of my favorite contemporary artists. It artistically depicts the station's role as a coastal defense blimp base during WW2, and shows the face of one of the massive, historic hangars. One of the hangars tragically burned a few years ago. The surviving one is currently for sale.

Wow! Another testament to the durability of this bike! Nice to know that mine will probably outlive me.

How many miles did it have when you bought it used?

I bought the '21 Angry Bird ( the red one ) new with zero miles now at 74,000

I bought the '23 Blue Bird ( the blue one)  used with 1290 miles, now at 5,500

Early Saturday morning, I took the Enfield over to Donut Derelicts. I've probably mentioned it, but this is the show that predates, and in a way begat all of the Cars and Coffee type shows we enjoy today, where enthusiasts gather early in the morning to show off their cars. This gathering is in Huntington Beach and has been going for many decades.

I got there at 7:30ish and it was starting to break up (this is a very early crowd), but still saw some awesome cars and bikes. I think I've shown this Torana before, but it made me think of Cormanus. The Rambler for sale next to it was pretty clean. No price listed, just Make Offer.

The CL350 here had just come off of restoration, and was attracting a lot of admirers. Note the example of an early factory-applied RLET.

Interesting license plate on the Torana. Peter Brock, whose racing number was 05, was synonymous with Torana racing victories in the never ending Holden (GMH) - Ford battle.

Actually Gone, that is a SL350. The CL was more like a CB with scrambler exhaust system. Gear ratios, etc.
