Diggin' it even more!   ;D

One last pesky question: I see they come in different sizes. For reference regarding clearance from  the exhaust, which is yours?

Not pesky, any excuse to visit the garage 🤤

Hmm, that's hard to say. The pair I ordered and the the pair I received weren't exactly identical. The pair I received measure W=26cm, H=23cm, D=10cm, but you wouldn't call them right regular rectangular prisms by any stretch, eg the base width is 22cm and the depth, measured at the top in the middle, is 18cm. Definitely not for squares 👴🤓🤭

I expect variations are due to the size of the goat and the creative whim of the Charmar when his overlord is away.

Thank you kindly sir. The goat, the charmar and I shall work with those dimensions. Roughly.  ;D

Yes although many that visit don't know the whole picture.
Interesting that the Gibbet was only used the once in this case.

Might be a useful warning for a recalcitrant child… if the game console ban fails

Took my INT out for her first birthday and met some of her distant cousins. Went to a music venue with many vintage Triumphs, BSA's and Moto Guzzis adorning the walls. The Greenhouse Moto Cafe in Mills River, NC.
When you reach a fork in the road, take it.

I loved my Ducati- a lot- 30k miles worth.  but the expanding tank, valve guide replacements, breather burping oil, foggy gauge clusters, the "Marelli Flash", roughly cast fins, and a few other quirks that often get explained away as "personality" had me thinking back in 2008 that some of these $9k bikes sure seemed to be built more like $6k bikes.
A bit like guitars….
I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy...

Made a new friend (pictured) who smoked past me on the way to Turtle Rock Bar /Cafe. This joint has been a biker joint for decades. Back in the days when people were allowed to have fun they would hold rattlesnake races.
He's riding a KTM 890.
