In my other hobby (Photography) I love the old vehicle as a subject
But, hey this is the antithesis of this thread
Same here, and I drove more than my fair share of old classic cars, hot rods and muscle cars during my life. Since I was 13 there has always been at least one in garage or on driveway. Here in the SW US custom rusty classic cars and rat rods have a strong following.
Most of them I drove myself, but I bought some for my ex as well. The last classic I bought for her was a mint 1962 Glacier Blue Thunderbird.

What, no love for Indians? They have a long history. My dad rode Indians before I was even born.
Indians are much loved, always. @DeloresRose has an awesome photo(s) she shared here a while back. Maybe she can pop that up....
A favorite 180 acre preserve right in Sin City I used to walk and hang out for hours at to enjoy the native species of plants, animals, reptiles, insects, etc that live there. (click to enlarge)
Where is that? I'm going to be in Vegas for a week or two in August for the birth of my second granddaughter and would like to check it out!
The Las Vegas Springs Reserve.
Springs Preserve Official Website
Some other outdoors on the MoJave Desert close to town...
Red Rock Canyon | Las Vegas, Nevada
Spring Mountain Ranch State Park | State Parks
Go Mt. Charleston | Spring Mountains National Recreation Area | Las Vegas, NV
Lake Mead National Recreation Area (U.S. National Park Service)
Valley of Fire State Park | State Parks
So you have family here that knows desert life. Just KIM that August here can be up to near 120F in the shade daytime and will be over 100F at night, and a closed vehicle out in the sun can get up to 160F-180F inside. So protection from the blistering sun/vehicle seats (clothing or otherwise), and when out on the desert outside of town always having lots of water in hand is mandatory (at least a gallon per person per day).
never enough ratings.i would give that a WOW!just need a Triumph and Indian in the background to get a supper WOW!
Lake George (NY?) has the COOLEST bike festival every year. We went to it on my first honeymoon (the kid came along so we needed a second one.)
I don't know how ginormous it was, but it was ginormous enough for me. Me and the kid went wandering. We got bike lifts. I got some of the coolest and simultaneously sluttiest clothing I have yet to own.
The husband hid in the tent the whole time. To be fair, I think he had like, a brief stint as an (unpleasant) biker during his alcoholism.
He was not pleased with my antics. But I was like "It's LAKE GEORGE! Do you really think some Harley Person is going to abscond with your sluttily dressed wife AND your three year old stepson. COME ON."
There was also a double rainbow. That was a magical time. We went back so the husband could enjoy it without all the growly engines. It was super nice but still comparatively lame.
You can meet a TON of interesting folks with the attitude, "Yes, I am hot and friendly but I can also CUT you and here is my adorable blonde three year old kid."
There are probably bike festivals I would enjoy less. But we ALL know that Hunter S. Thompson was LYIING UTTERLY during his "Big bad bikers book."
I have no doubt that "trains" as he so aptly described them DO happen. But not in front of Hunter S. that dude is was kind of TOOL. I would not even erases and rewrite a test taking answer in front of that guy because it would come out "Anna Lolita Cheats on Test and Sleeps with her English teacher."
Those facts may have been true, but they would have been so sensationalized, they would have been completely unrecognizable.
Course, when you sleep with your high school English teacher, there is no way to go but UP. Except how Hunter S would have described it, where I probably would have wound up dancing naked on tables..
To be FAIR, my English teacher did MAKE that suggestion but I was like, "Oh, come on dude, how dumb do you think I *am* I am not dancing on tables because I refuse to sleep with you any longer because I have sobered up. I'm sorry you are, perhaps, one of my like, um learning experiences into how not to enter adulthood. But I'm not gong to be a ...... like you think and dance on tables. I know you are just after revenge."
For that statement alone (never mind my 13 year old sis) I am so glad I reported him. Hunter S would have had me fictionally dancing on tables forever with some sort of horrendous drug habit.
I think the drug habit is fair. Dancing on tables, not. For one, l ain't got no rhythm and you can be fairly attractive but not know how to dance and make zero money. It's just not a good life choice. In my opinion.
Neither were yours, Hunter S.

Also I filled two true tanks and forgot to close the top. That was a big mess. I was glad to have to not rewick, but I really need to pay much Heed to those Tanks when I fill them.

This one? These are my brothers’ and brother in law ‘s bikes. Two of those have been in the family for about 40 years. This picture is from a few years ago when they rode to the keys together. I guess they got a lot of attention. All of them are still on the road, weather permitting. My one brother has won trophies a few times.
There are a couple more Indians plus a herd of Harleys as well.
At least my shinyitis is limited to things that don’t take up quite so much room!
Installed an android app today purely for tracking shiny orders - got sick of websites not updating fast enough (or not giving me the result I wanted

And nope I hadn't - bookmarked to play with it later
I know it's sacrilegious but my brother-in-law has used his immaculate Triumph to round up sheep - he hasn't used the Harley for that purpose however, thank god
This advert is pretty typical rural NZ - and yes, the BIL also has a red Hilux
