What bike did you ride today?

[SKPC]

Windy today but snuck out anyway around the houses to stay out of it. Ended up doing a longer ride out to and up the coast. 36/7 Shelby streamliner.
Diego Sepulveda Adobe perched on the Mesa Verde above the coast. 1820's herdsman shelter in the beginning. We used to goof around in it as kids.

Diego Sepulveda Adobe - Costa Mesa Historical Society

The Diego Sepulveda Adobe encompasses nearly 200 years of Orange County history in beautiful Estancia Park, Costa Mesa, overlooking the Santa Ana River bed.

This one is the manual(lever operated) Bendix though. I Really wanted to mount the New Departure Twin Streak, but the axle mounted rear chain guard bracket doesn't get along with the ND "no turn" washer.

I want one!!

Rolling the 1957 Huffy built Western Flyer. Worked up a lather riding against the high winds.

That is the magnificent, Dragons Blood Tree.
Draceana draco, from the Canary Islands.
It’s commonly called the Dragons Blood tree, because it has a sap like fluid that dries blood red when it’s been cut or injured.
It is said, that the Stradivarius Violins were stained with the sap from this tree.

Another twin bar is getting the winter project treatment, but this one is English.
For some reason, I'm stuck on red for these bikes
