CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge

[Gone in 60]

Nice shot, Rdprdp01. Yes, the abundance of rain has made it pretty green around here. Got what is probably one the last chances to enjoy it over the weekend with a hike in the local mountains before it heats up and turns everything brown. And Frenchie, cool tractor! I was looking for a large, green vehicle when I was out to get my photo, but couldn't get close enough to anything. Found some green rail cars, but they were in the distance.

Great to see some participation this month!

A goat must surely ride without a helmet.

...surely they do ride with a helmet:

...and its even green to comply with the monthly photo challange regulation

If the forum is stable enough to make it happen, we need an April photo challenge! And looking back, looks like the honors would go to Tev if I'm not mistaken.

Sorry for the delay, not been able to login for days. Here we go. A picture of your bike in front of or in the vicinity of a street vendors food or coffee stall (cart or vehicle but not a fixed shop), bonus point if you have purchased the fare and can give a review

Oooh...I like this one.

 

[the Ferret]

Maybe if it would quit raining here I could get out and get it. Three straight days of rain..over 2" in the gauge Wed, 4" Thur, 1 1/2" yesterday and it's supposed to rain all day today and tomorrow. Major flooding here (incl my basement). Booooo

Ug! Sorry for the basement flooding. Only basement house I lived in was in Kansas...eventually water seems to always find a way in. Our house in Costa Rica has lots of seams to the doors / windows on one side of the house. No big deal because the house has no ac nor heat. But the winds blow in from that side and when it rains hard w/ wind, the water blows in...squeegie time for the tile floor.

I'm about ready to get the CB1100 out for it's first good ride since I got back from CR last week. Going to try to time the return so that a food cart will do for lunch.

squeegees, towels and fans are my friends. Where I live the soil has a lot of clay in it. They dig a hole your foundation and it's like building a house in a bath tub. The ground can only absorb so much then it has to find a place to go. I've found we can handle up to 3" of rain without it coming in. This week we've already had over 7" and it's still supposed to rain all day today and tomorrow.

Bugger about the flooding, Ferret. Hope it dries out quickly.

Man, Ferret, hope you were able to get your basement pumped out!

Neat photo challenge, but wish I saw it yesterday! I rode my CB to work at the museum, and stopped at a taco truck for lunch on the way home. Actually swung past a smattering of food trucks last night at a monthly art festival in neighboring Santa Ana.

I should be able to grab something easily enough.

Crikey!

Can't believe this is the first entry in this month's photo challenge...maybe due to the issues we have been having

Anyway... a Taco Truck up in the next town north of me. No extra point for review because I don't do Mexican (except Taco Bell Tacos) and I did ask the lady carrying the bag away in the pic if it was any good, but it was her first time eating there but said it "looked" good. lol

I've only had one chance to ride my CB so far this month and that was before the challenge was listed.
New job is still a time-vacuum till things settle down.

Well heck, I've never not participated in the photo challenge. Things are winding down a bit for a Friday, and I needed to run a few errands. So, hopped on the CB to take care of them. While I was out, I got on the local food truck finder app, and there was one showing not too far away.

I rode over, but the truck wasn't there. While I was stopped to check a few Slack messages, it pulled up across the street. Great timing!

How do you like the fairing?

 

[Gone in 60]

I really like it. It gives the bike a great look. At speed, it feels about the same as it did with my previous screen, maybe with a little wider coverage. More of a "shape" up. front also kinda visually balances the back of the bike, as I always have a box of some size back there.

 

[the Ferret]

Hey now that's MY kinda food truck. I'm all about cheeseburgers and crinkle cut fries.
