Inadvertently posted in "rat" mode.

Upgrade to 11 tooth morrow and 2.35 tire. Motorbike tank could not fit this frame.

Holiday evening bike ride. First time on the ‘42 Colson since I swapped on the motorbike stem for a better look (original in safe keeping). I don’t think I’m ever going to resto this one.

Just a few quick runs to the grocery store for some things. Twice. With different weather… dressed accordingly. My two big builds of the year, 1981 Schwinn sidewinder 27.5” conversion and my 1924 Schwinn…

Night ride out to Kyrene. Cleaned the 48 Columbia this weekend and tightened the dry lubed chain. Rode so smoothly and quiet.

Hot and windy here today but had to get some shots of my finished ratrod build off bike before tomorrows deadline .
1937 CCM motor bike not really a rat more of a custom .
Don't know what the plants in the background are but they are cool looking .
Wish I lived where triple3 lives 🙂

...those plants are Ricinus communis.
Also known as the Castor Bean, or Castor Oil Plant.
The poison 'Ricin' is obtained from.it.
It is very toxic throughout its whole structure; ingestion of as few as 4 beans could kill.
It's pollen and sap are also highly allergenic, the pollen particularly to asthma sufferers.
This fact alone surprises me when I see it planted as an ornamental plant in public areas, but it is very commonly used in this way all across the world.
But, I agree, it is very "cool looking".

Actually my initial impression could be wrong, it could be a red-flowered form of Fatsia japonica, the False Castor Oil plant.
I hope I didn't alarm you too much @bleedingfingers, you may want to check with the landowner.

Rode the black one to pick up a half dozen loaves of bread this morning, then a nice cruise on the green one, then a blast on the trail by the lake with the white one and now I’m off to deliver a bunch of stuff to my Mom...
