Will a Basin do? Helmet on the ground and glasses on the foot board.
4011 is Old Dixie Hwy in Ormond Beach,Florida also known as the Loop. After being stuck inside for more than a week because of rain from Christabol, the sky finally brightened up and the rain stopped for a while. Enough time to get out for a little spin and to get these pics. (The bike has been under cover for past week and dust must have blown up onto the bike...dash area looks like it needs a cleaning.)
This has been the third challange "with the bike in front of a body of water" in not too long a period. These challanges need to get a little more interesting.
Assuming this meets the challange lets do something different. Can you get a pic of your bike in front of a piece of large farm equipment (tractor, combine,etc.) parked in a field. Bonus point if you can get a pic with one operating in the background. Don't forget to GOTBS (Gear on the bike somewhere).
The Great South Bay , looking southeast towards Fire Island, NY. Too slow though.
Lived on LI a block away from the Great South Bay in Babylon most of my life 'til moved to NC in 1996 and then to FL in 2014. Where was the pic taken? It looks familiar. Think maybe you were looking Southwest!
BTW, I love the copper color of you bike. What Year is your bike?
That's a 2014 SGS with 70k miles
Here's where I took the pic. The bike was parked facing north on the east side of the road, the camera was looking southeast. The dock road juts out into the bay.
Last Sunday I took a ride on Robert Moses parkway and bridge and Ocean Parkway past the Babylon town beaches out past Jones Beach. I must have timed it just right, even on the local roads there was very little traffic and only a little of the frantic rushing that causes so much grief for us.
Enjoy FLA !

Knew it looked familiar. I lived in Bluepoint for 3 years in the early '60s. Now I understand how you were looking SE. What had me confused was your statement that you were looking toward Fire Island. The actual Fire Island Beach is much further West.
My daughter and son-in-law still live in Mastic Beach. Haven't been up there in over 3 years...don't realy want to either. I make them come down and vist their old fart of a dad down here.
Hey, I know there are still some farms on LI, go find a large tractor or maybe a potatoe truck to meet the next challange.

I passed a couple of tractors working / cutting grass or hay today, but there wasn't a shoulder or place to pull off and safely get a pic. These two are parked by a barn, not really out in a field, but it was the best I could do. Gloves are on the seat.
Let me know if this is good enough and I'll post a new challenge.
