Lonerider, I share your pain.  When my old C-10 and I kissed the pavement I ended up with broken clavicle (which had to have a plate/screws), 10 ribs, torn rotator cuff & biceps tendor, some internal bleeding, and other "minor" dings.  Thank goodness for helmets, gloves, jacket, etc.  Spent 5 weeks at home and had two follow up surgeries on shoulder related things.  Heal fast without pain brother!

Tagged. The old Sport Wheels location, Jordan MN.


Yep, picked up parts there a few times, and also used to ride some of trails around here.

It was a nice day to get out for a 2-hour lunch  ;D

New tag soon to come....

New tag:



Hope this isn't a repeat of an earlier tag......

This is a neat spot. I feel like going back just after dawn to get a picture in better lighting.

Lonerider, sorry to hear about the incident. Get well and heal up fast. Things happen. The only way to minimize accidents is to stay under the covers and never take any chances. Of course,  you miss most of the good things in life and end up dying as a bored, dull person. I think I'll take chances instead. I haven't had any near death experiences since Sunday. And no, it wasn't on a motorcycle. Sometimes even fishing can be extremely dangerous. I'm still here and so are my friends, so it's another good day.

Hope to you you riding soon.

Very easy to find with Google-FU

I don't believe it was ever done on this board.

In this long-running thread from before, I did not see many WI locations.  Do WI riders play too?  Kinda hard for me to get from Milwaukee to MN to play but I am willing to try during the Summer.  :)

The Sconi riders are a little thinner on this side of the state (numbers wise, not girth). I did put the tag in WI in the past, down in the SW area.

Need Heat Shields for the C-10? 86-93 Front Brake upgrade brackets?  I got em! Click the little green globe under my Avatar on the left.

Hint #2 on the current tag:

It's down the road from a store that sounds like it might have green walls, but doesn't.

Crap. My google fu totally sucks. I got the city, found other pics of the barn, I get the green clue, but still no joy. I'd really like to go for a ride and grab it, but stupidity keeps me home.......... :-[

I'm not sure if there's rules about how often to post hints, but I feel bad about you not getting out for a ride, Brian! (Not that ya really need a good reason).

Hint #3:
This tag is also just a short distance down the road from a spot where the local canines can freely run and frolic and play together.

Now, gotta go fix a sump pump in a cat-stink basement.  :-\

Here's the barn with all the weird statues surrounding it on Cty Rd 47 in Plymouth.  I have good Karma now and road blissfully for another couple hours.

Tried a loop around one lake at lunchtime... the bronze dude was not at the same lake as me. Not sure I'll have a chance to look again before the weekend.

Where's everyone else?

Well done.  I actually had to go across the street and then use telephoto to get Gort and my bike in the same frame.
