Themie's Wild Ride
The Legendary, Iconic, Infamous Themie Shepherd aka BubbaLouie
There was a big raw hole where the head-light goes; I borrowed one of either Laney's or Bethany's big pretty blue eyeballs and I think it looks more appropriate than a head-light bulb.
Themie has smoked so much that the hole under his nose looks like the hole under a sheep's tail.

I haven't needed to ride a trycycle since I was 4.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

Faith isn't a jump in the dark. It is a walk in the light. Faith is not guessing; it is knowing something.

Had to get a couple other bikes just to cure one problem and create another !
My 68 Norton N15cs I bought new , then neat bike was my 75 Commando MK3 with E-start
Everything else in used machines I felt sorry for - or somehow they followed me home .
Moto Guzzi - ended up son traded a Triumph sports car he had to guy who said now that he was JUST married the BIKE MUST GO and then somehow I ended up in the deal
2 Triumphs and a Moto Guzzi taken in trade for snow plow bill payment

Coke, I am bit jealous of your Triumph collection. Maybe somday if I win the lottery I will own one. For now I'll have to settle for my XS650, Triumph clone.

The Guzzy dealer in Watertown SD was a fellow I met out in Sturgis and made a few stops in his shop on other trips , Him and his wife were nice individuals - believe his son in law runs place now . He was a school teacher and MC dealer in other hours .
Was going to buy a Guzzi SP3 from him and when I got back from Sturgis had to replace the roof on house instead . Best laid plans gone bad .

Greensburg Street - Columbia - Adair County - Kentucky Thursday_10-August-2023
Big Harleys from Missouri
Parked straight across Greensburg Street from the front door of the funeral home.
These two boys rode these Harleys from Missouri to attend a funeral.
That is one of them at extreme right of the first photo.
The Funeral Home has a big Harley that pulls a special casket-bearing trailer for all their biker customers; they hauled Russ to his final resting place in style along with all his many biker friends on their Harleys leading the procession.
Having such a bike and trailer assures them of getting the most of the deceased biker business.
As of Tuesday_15-April-2025, the block building in the background is no longer there; I can't even remember what it was.
I believe that stone wall may be gone as well.
