"Don't touch! Don't touch! Don't touch! If I say it again, you're all back in the car!"In downtown Belfast, this white trimmed Harley waits for me. As you can see it has lots of silver and is covered with copious amounts of white. In Maine these days motorcycles have grabbed the headlines back. Police are cracking down and issuing tickets for excessive noise this summer. The ordinance reads: "excessive or unusual noise" or "motor noise emitted by a motor vehicle that is noticeably louder than similar vehicles in the environment." Bikers aren't happy! And thanks to the biker traveling 50mph down 302, standing up on his bike's seat, waving at passers-by, then being pitched over his handlebars and taking a quick trip to see his maker, there is more and more talk of a mandatory helmet law in the state. Bikers aren't happy! But me, I'd still like to see this BEAUTY parked in my garage. I'd be shining it right now! Don't tell Elenka though.
"Home again Finnegin!"
After our Sunday family drive, this was always Mom's line as our car pulled into our garage. I thought it only fitting way to end my 'trip'. Hope you enjoyed the week away.
That is a lotta bike! Have a happy and safe weekend!
ReplyDeleteSuch excellent reflections in all those shiny surfaces.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to take an occasional ride on one. I just don't want to own one.
ReplyDeleteIf I wasn't so old, I'd go out and buy one of these. Had a Honda once...not the same as a Harley. Nothing's the same as a Harley.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bike, beautifully shot, and a very funny commentary. So have a nice week this weekend!
Parked in what garage? Ha ha, you're funny, Birdman. There's no room in our garage for any such thing. Good thing I know you don't really mean it. wink. wink.
ReplyDelete( I you actually had one of those creepy things, not only would you have a wear a helmet on that precious head of yours, but you would have to wrap yourself in bubble wrap, Christo-Jean Claude style, and then pass my inspection.)
I'd love to have one of these babies, but I'd probably kill myself. Maybe I should stick to a souped-up golf cart?
ReplyDeleteHarleys have such a particular and beautyful sound...And this one is cherished: so many reflections on the silver!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty. Lot of bikers out this way. We have a big rally here in September--Oyster Run--I like to watch but not ride.
ReplyDeleteMandatory helment law in Wa. MB
Oh Brother! No bike! No dog! Maine, the way life should be???
ReplyDeleteWell, remember, you can always have Annie for an overnight visit!!
ReplyDeleteOooooo....nice bike. I wouldn't mind taking a ride on that!
ReplyDeleteI never fail to marvel at the stupidity, er I mean bravery of helmetless motorcyclists in Maine.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! I wish you had a photo that showed it in all its gleaming glory.
