What bike did you ride today?

[bulldog1935]

Started in Castle Hills with Stevo this morning, and we rode in to join the group in Alamo Heights
The Lenton twins (mine and Lou's) at the Alamodome (60-y-o guy on 60-y-o bike came in 4th/40)

and at coffee

At coffee, a guy rolled through with a yappy dog having a great time riding in a front rando bag.
After 28 miles and a few dogs escorting us out of their turf, back in Castle Hills, I won the 9-ball tournament - I was good.
West Coast is a Great IPA.

@bulldog1935 that green bike really has its caliper set close to the rim. That's one thing I miss about my 10 speed days. The responsiveness of the bike to an aggressive riding style Slight pull on handle to slow -then full power again. What I don't miss is rolling over fender and windshield s

did a few hot laps around the block to try out my new seat. very comfy. after I got home I was fiddling with it and now my rear hub stopped working, all it does is free wheel in both directions.

Rode this ol girl around and then over to the CL meet up spot to let her go to a new home. Another one out and back on the road.

Collings Foundation warbirds visited Beverly Airport this weekend, which is only a few mile bike ride away. I don't think anyone noticed the bike.

B-17G. The original Nine O Nine completed 140 missions without loss of crew. Rides in all the bombers are $450 each (not completely sure about the B-25) and I think their Fi 156 Storch and T-6 Texan are the same, but I'm too lazy to look it up. This is the line for walking through.

Narrow squeeze through the bomb bay.

Radio room

Radio room towards the back. Oxygen under the radio, ball turret on the left with the bullet feed for the guns suspended up. That X embossed panel is the hatch to get in. For the small and brave only!

View back from the radio room. Canopy is missing for some reason.

Rosie the Riveter inspecting the control cables by the rear hatch just behind the waist guns.

The versatile B-25

The iconic P-40.

B-24. Went inside this one, too, but they block off more of it and there were too many people to get decent shots.

Where they extract you from the tail gun position of a B-24 after things didn't go well.

Rides available in the P-51 for $2500 half hour, $3500 for hour. MAYBE if they get a P-47 and I stop giving money away, I'll do it someday. I went up in their Stearman a few years back (and also sent my mother up while she could still somewhat breathe) because that was only $220 (and totally worth it).

They're still flying over my house!

And then you had to walk back home?

Went for a ride to grab some lunch then came home and put some red chain treads on the Huffman and back it for another spin.
