RE: CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge

Hey i used to live in Ft Pierce in the 50's. 505 Emil Dr. Had crushed shell road, swamp at one end, A&W Root Beer stand on other end. Used to sweep their lot for free root beer. City used to spray DDT for mosquitos every night. We used to run behind the trucks. Killed rattlers, cotton mouth and coral snakes in the yard. Good times for a 9 year old. Wow, that was a long time ago.

Sounds just like where I grew up on the Gulf Coast of Texas. It's a wonder we survived Confused

Wow! Nice pics. Weather took a nice turn this afternoon and I made a short but fun run up Butte Creek canyon.
Honey Run bridge, built 1894. when I was a kid you could drive across it, and I am sure it is still structurally sound. Great ride up the canyon. You can go the speed limit, or a bit moreAngel and have fun on this machine.

I need to explore and find some cool bridges around here. For now, one of the pedestrian bridges in my neighborhood:

Sebastian. Paridise! I always go to the Tiki Bar when I am there. Last time I rode my brother's DUC Multi 1100 over there I had to answer a lot of questions and made sure to show them some Arrow Pipe rpms on the way out. I like them WITH the silencers though. Much too racy without.

Found another bridge.About 20 miles west of Willows,CA

"Old" Stonyford bridge. Can't drive across this one anymore either. New one just upstream not nearly as photogenic.

RE: CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge

Thanks, c-breezy! I need to correct myself. that photo is actually of the "old" bridge at Elk Creek. Stonyford is a bit further upstreamBlush. It's a pretty ride this time of year while the grass is green and its not too hot. It is , however, crossing Stony Creek- Elk Creek is a town. Might be a creek, too. But not this one.
