Redman gets my vote with the upraised bridge.
I deal with that situation on a daily basis.

I have to go with Steve Murdoch's cows this week.

**dpep** · 05-15-2021, 05:55 AM

I'm a little late but I cast for Steve Murdoch's delayed by livestock shot as well. Trevor's delayed by weather shot was a close second.

Holy cow! Thanks for the votes, Gents.
W.C. Fields said something about never follow children or animals on stage so this could be tough.

Again this could be a duplicate and maybe even a duplicate from me but how about your bike/project being "transported". If it is a recent duplicate please let me know.
In a pick-up, on a trailer, in a trailer, on a ferry?

This week's theme:

After having owned a 550 L, and then an 1100 GL, and then a 700 E, I realized that I preferred the GL and I desired the nimbleness of the 550. The 850GL weighs about the same as the 1100GL, and the 750GL is not available in the US, so 650GL was next on the list. I found one 180 miles away, and it was not exactly running. Later I decided that it had not been neglected, it had been abused. Took a few years and a conspiracy of generosity to get it running, but here it is on my first day with it.

How about transported by freight elevator?

**Burque73** · 05-15-2021, 11:40 AM

This caught my eye the other day and fits right in here. The trucker must have picked up a souvenir while in Albuquerque.

NOT AN ENTRY AND NOT MY BIKE just wanted to share it.

Well I certainly have lots of pics of me transporting bikes but none comes to close to how special this one is...me and Wes Cooley taking my gs1000s to interviewed for a local tv motorcycle show. I'll never forget that experience.

I have several Ferry pics but this is my favorite because the kid walked right past some shiny Harleys to ask if he could sit on my friend Brian Rose's KLR. That is my KLR in the foreground.

Me not happy about transporting broke down (final drive) RT, in rental truck, 500 miles.

After getting the truck, got the plank, the tiedowns, go back to find bike, get it loaded, drive the 500 miles home,

unload, and return truck (30 miles from home) in the 20 hours before the rental office closed.

If you are sitting around bored, and want to be more bored, here is more of the story

Ride RT home to Michigan from San Diego

I have not posted much in last couple years. I am the goofy guy from Michigan that got a 2002 R1150RT in 2015 to have at my daughters place in San Diego (later Oceanside) to use when visit there. A couple years we visited only once a year (February) and more recent years (since we retired) have v...
