Criminal, Don't let this stop you from posting. The free association thread can always use some new perspectives.

The train photo (posted by gwood) is the ride from Durango to Silverton. I have ridden it many times and have a good friend that works for the line, John Briner, engineer. My old "neck of the woods". Lovely country and trip!

This was my first time riding the train. I'd been through Durango many times on bike trips, but had never taken the time to ride it. Last year I had my 13YO son with me, and we decided to actually stop and do some things on that trip, rather than just blitz around the state. We rafted for a day on the Arkansas, saw Mesa Verde, rode the tram up Monarch, etc.

I think we'll go back again next year and ride the train up to Silverton and raft back on the Animas.

Not many do as you did, that is, doing things "off the bike". Good idea and fun! The raft trip back from Silverton sounds cool. I know some take the bus back as opposed to the train, but a raft? A much more entertaining way to travel!

Nice ol' red motorbike. What is it?

[marchyman]

Moto Guzzi, I think.

i'm guilty myself, one bike shot generates a long stagnant thread of bike shots.

The shot I posted if the world's largest goose (4477) had wings as did the sculpture. I do not get the 4478 post. Anyone?

Maybe that BMW's fly? No, I think the poster just threw something up, or perhaps saw the old Guzzi pic. Sometimes posters don't pay much attention to association, even though the thread evolves that way in a more interesting fashion.

I wondered the same thing, his bike is a flying goose? , but got past the lack of association and moved on to garage pictures (again)

Color? Grey(?) and black on the bike?

Maybe he named his bike "Gray Goose"??

Perhaps they drink Grey Goose Vodka and were drunk when posting...

Oooo! That reminds me...

Re 4543: I was a couple of seconds too slow, but it still kind of works so I'll leave it alone.
