Totally amateur phone camera pics thread.

What are bikes are you guys on?

No dirt bikes for me. I don't know who those guys are, a lot of people ride dirt bikes, quads, and side-by-sides around here, and depending on the time of day you can see a bunch or no one.

Here's what we drove:

Wildcat Trail, got it brand new a couple of weeks ago. My step son was riding behind us on a 2006 Kawasaki Brute Force 650 quad, but I don't have a pic of that handy.

I love the Wildcat. It's got a lot of power, handles well, suspension is fantastic. But, gonna be tightening the belt for a while. No new basses for me LOL
 
My submission stands as an existential expression of postmodernism in the digital age; it captures the dearth of the sublime in its minimalist composition, and in doing so, commiserates with the lost soul of humanity amongst its willful acquiescence to wage slavery.

I present to you: "The Cube"

Bidding will start at 2.5 million pound sterling.
I work as a Material Analyst and gave up “The Cube” life and took my services to another company a few months ago

Here’s a pic from my office looking at my new play ground....I freakin
love it :)

That’s cool! Looks like a nice place to ride/drive!

I was in the shop getting some bike parts a couple of weeks ago and sat myself in the Polaris RZR. Hard want! But north of $25K!!!

Yeah there's a lot of cool places to ride around here. Canfield is very close to home, so we can just head on over without a trailer, but we'll need to get one soon to go any farther. I haven't checked out the Polaris RZR, but they are sweet looking rides. And expensive! A new Wildcat is about half the price.

I am a pilot here in the US and have never seen one of those before. I assume that is for grounding the aircraft during refueling operations to prevent static electrical discharge?

I don't think so. This was actually a bit off-stand so not really convenient for that. Besides, our fuel trucks ground through the aircraft wheel struts. I'm inclined to think it may be a left-over from a small weather station which used to be close by the spot.

Ok...that now makes sense to me. Yes..our fuel tankers also ground with cable between truck and aircraft before refueling. Anyway, thanks as I am always curios about aviation things.
