Guinness!

The “bar”. Which we call a “Long John” here in the Midwest is every bit the doughnut that anything from Tim Horton’s. The original doughnuts, from my very limited research on the topic, were first developed in 17th century New York by Dutch immigrants who stuffed nuts and fruit into dough balls to keep the center from being soggy from frying. So, no hole. The ring shape was developed for the same reason as the fillings, to promote even cooking of the dough. So, Bismarcks, Crullers, Long Johns, pączki, Bear Claws, and cake and raised dough rings are all part of the lovely and wondrous doughnut family.

However, the ones with the hole look most like motorcycle tires so the post instantly becomes appropriate for this forum.
 
Does that explain why you had to invent Guinness? :D

No, Guinness was invented to wash down the coddle, crubeens and bacon and cabbage (all of which nobody eats over here)!

Guinness!

:beerchug:
A few years ago, I was stuck in the Dublin airport trying to get home from a trade show. The gate agent gave the time that the plane was supposed to depart not in hours or minutes, but in how many Guinnesses I could reasonably be expected to consume before the flight departed.

I thought that was a novel concept. I limited myself to the number that would allow me to still be aware that I was at an airport waiting for a flight.

Wherever they came from, it's something I eat when my wife isn't supervising me.
 
Went on a 114mile ride today and stopped in Lackawaxen, PA for this picture. The Delaware River is in the background and New York State is on the other side of the river. The river is quite muddy with the all of the rain storms hitting our area.
 
Mike, beautiful shot with a rare yellow helmet.
Also, your bike is properly equipped with RLETs, chrome crash bars, nicely done headers and D.O.T sticker, I guess..
:thumbsup:
 
Thanks Peter, the helmet is a Shoei GT-Air II and yellow is one of the standard colors. It is NYS safety inspection sticker on the fork.
 
I just got a new GT-Air II yesterday. Haven’t ridden with it yet but it sure fits great! Mine is silver.
