Things I Saw Today

A motorcycle isn't really mine until it makes a Hajj to The Big Duck. We did that today in ridiculously-comfortable weather; it was 60 degrees here in New York despite being the nadir of Winter. The Big Duck is the Ka'aba of my two-wheeled faith.




While out riding, I saw a decaying but beautiful painting on the side of a building in a neglected alley. Isn't it nice?

  1. It was warm here as well today, but really windy.

    Fun you took the bike out to enjoy it.

    The big duck is hilarious.

  7. I can't even with that duck...how insanely cool is that! You are hardcore my friend. I do not want to be on our bike until it's 70 degrees. I know, disappointing considering my hardcore biker bloodline...lol!

  8. I still have the post card you sent me of the big duck on my fridge. I had such a hard time trying to explain to my nephew why someone would build a giant duck building. "Just because" was not a good enough reason for him.
