 Back in the day, when men were men and nearly all leather jackets sported mandarin collars, road warriors roamed the countryside on bare-naked 550s and 650s.
They traveled far and wide on those used machines. Occasionally, said bikes would go treads up because of engine-room disasters.

 On an evening run to Sylvania to pick up a Ninja 250 (more on that in another post), I stopped to fill up my unnamed relative's Chrysler 300. Leaving the gas station, biker instinct kicked in and I punched the tripmeter button.
It said the exact same number as the odometer. It had never been reset.
So I asked. Some people are funny about that. Bikers reset their tripmeters, because often it's the only "gas gauge" they have. Some car drivers never do, as some kind of hinky badge of honor.

"Let's be careful out there" |
 Here's a scene you wouldn't want to roll up on during a dark night — a sinkhole in the middle or the road, marked by deadfall.
Apparently, a citizen stuck in the sticks, either as commentary, warning, or both. (No, it wasn't me.)
This is on Morseville Road, just north of Courtney Road, in southern Saginaw County. This gnarly piece of pavement connects some of the best (only?) curves between Flushing and Frankenmuth.

More from our man JJ in Fort Myers: This 1958 BMW, with sidehack.
He picked it up from a gent who drove it as a daily driver down in Naples. The paint is beat to death from the hot Florida sun, but everything is there.
JJ walked over to it cold, turned the key, tickled the choke, folded out the kick starter — and one kick brought forth that loverly pocketa-pocketa-pocketa BMW Boxer sound.
For sale? Nope.
JJ's gonna tear her down and completely restore her. |
