Goodbye Cruiserface, Hello Happyface: The (old) Long and (new) Short Of It All

Enjoyed the compilation video John. Here are a few pics of colour I took last week while riding with a local section of the vintage motorcycle group I belong to.















Hope these bring a little bit of brightness to your day. Best to you and Lynn.

Seeing you get out and about makes me happy! Thanks for taking the time to post!!

Very nice. Jen and I were coming back from Acadia NP to New York last week. I was on the Mass Pike and just thinking how miserable Massachusetts seems from that road. I could not get a single slice of pizza despite stopping at two different exits.

And I thought " I have to ride out to some of these locales popscycle is photographing" and see the real deal.

You are right. You can't see much from the Pike. A better and more scenic, but slower, route across MA is on Rt. 2 (aka Mohawk Trail). Also, a really good slice can be had in Ashfield, MA at coordinates 42.52695097887275,-72.79424913236834 on Wed. through Sat. It isn't too far off Rt. 2.

Train Fix: Being mostly stuck at home for the time being, I went through the archives looking for a colorful train fix and found this raw dupe (i.e., always take multiple photos of scenes you like) and converted/edited it.



I am thinking this was one of the best of the "Palmer Diamond" shots.

Also, thanks to all who've posted here. It helps a lot.

Sunrise in Pomfret, VT this morning!

How bout some soon to be rail yard

John; hope this finds you well. Also hope you are coping with your wife's condition. Thought I would send a train fix video for you to enjoy.

Gidday from DownHere, John,

not much riding of late as bike is not ‘officially’ legal as registration been on hold for ages as I recover but have snuck out on a couple of occasions…

Popped over to Sydney for 4 days the weekend just gone and of course AstroTheWonderDog always has something to add….

a couple of pics (apologies, no trains) for you.

The Vermont Report

Very best wishes to you both.

I just wanted to wish everyone on the forum a Merry Christmas and say thanks for all the support messages. It meant a lot and helped - A LOT!

Same to you and your lady wife.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you and Lynn and family John. All the best for the coming year......Dave

Merry Christmas John!

Hello Mr. John, we wish you and your family all the best for the new year, especially health and confidence. I have to tell you that I miss your almost daily contributions in words, pictures and films. They were always of the highest quality.

Very best regards from Tunbridge!

Tunbridge. What a beautiful area!

popscycle, I hope you and your wife are doing fine. It's weird not seeing this thread on the front page.

I just discovered this excellent thread. Thanks for all the great pictures and videos.

Hoping for the best for you and your wife.
