I've enjoyed sharing my rides and experiences with my readers over the past year with something I call "PIC OF THE WEEK". With 2009 coming to a close, I took a look back at my accumulated posts and compiled a list of my top ten favorite Pics Of The Week.
Without being in any specific order... here they are.

I thought it would be fun to put a poll up for a couple weeks to see which one of my favorites... is yours. Check them out and place your vote today!
Have a safe and happy New Year and here's to a better 2010!!

I have been saving this beautiful shot of the sun setting over the Mississippi river since June. My brother knows how much I love to get pictures for my blog, so he snapped this pic for me one evening after dinner (Yes... he's a sweetheart). I thought it would be a great way to say goodbye to 2009. 
While on their same boys trip to Nova Scotia, Harley and his pals came across this pretty cool collection of old gas pumps and signs somewhere around Conway, New Hampshire.
It's a pretty neat way to decorate your garage, I guess. Just wonder how many folks stop by wanting to know if they can fill up! 
Harley claims, "the ride was most interesting on more than one occasion", and by the looks of the narrow ribbon of road, I wasn't going to challange that statement. The lack of guard rails in the curves and the presence of loose gravel everywhere was enough to make the experience round out with a nice dose of anxiety.
This was the perfect finale to an awesome trip. Since one of our good buddies is a Mass-Hole, they used his home town of Uxbridge, MA as they're official starting point. They rode up to Maine, put the bikes on a ferry and crossed over to Nova Scotia. They made a nice big loop, crossed back into the good ol' U. S. and now found themselves guiding their iron horses across Mt. Washington, New Hampshire... enjoying the breathtaking scenery along the way.
This reminds me of one of my favorite movies, "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" Remember the "King Biscuit Flour Hour?" Familys would sit around for hours and listen to radio shows and singing entertainment sponsored by some of our favorite groceries.
Welcome to the corner that time forgot. This is the little community of Weogufka, AL and home for Caperton's Old South General Store and Pawn Shop. It has been our pit stop on many a hot summer days, as it's right on the way to one of our favorite twisty roads. The White Tulip Flour sign is on another old store right across the street from us and this whole corner feels like your standing still in time.
In the little village, there are antique stores, gift shops, a Blacksmith shop, Grist Mill and a restaurant. You can find ceramics, glassware, old books, knickkacks and custom knives. I'm not much of a shopper, but I've determined that this would be a cool place to find some very unique Christmas gifts!
I wonder just how much lumber this old locomotive moved around in its prime.
