Hi everyone,
I have a few more pictures to post on anyone want to play.
The first is of the Milo Alberta Bar (saloon) that's been used in many westerns and in many movies, the street is still mostly gravel.
The rest are from Vulcan Alberta the home of the most Star Trek stuff ever.
A trip to Vulcan Alberta Canada from Calgary. Great Day for a ride.
The picture is of my 1983 GL1100 in front of the USS Enterprise Monument to Gene Roddenberry.
This town is famous for it's Star Trek Theme.
My name is Bill Ball and I live in Calgary Alberta Canada

I will play along this sounds fun and with riding season here I need more reasons to get out and do the thing

OK, June's photo tag topic: we want to see pictures of your motorcycle next to a road sign.

Simple, right?

Except here's the restriction: The road sign must contain YOUR NAME. So for instance, I'd need to find a "Scott St." or something along those lines.

Go to it!

Wow, only 1 day to get the tag (today is May 31). :).

I have a road sign in my garage with my name on it.


And I know, this does not count, and that you are referring to the month of June.

Hopefully last names qualify. No, I don’t live on this road or I could say the road was named after me but it is only a couple miles away.

I should object to this whole concept (but I won't) :D . I looked on Google Maps and I only found 3 Dwight streets. San Francisco, San Diego, and New Haven. None of those are areas where I particularly want to go with the bike.

Lots more Dwight roadways. I just did a google maps with "dwight" and Idaho, Oregon, and Washington and found a bunch, just none closer than about 3 hours from your location.

Also, do you have a last name? ;)

And crap. I just did a more specific search, and found one in Idaho Falls where I grew up. But I swear it didn't exist when I was there. :oops:

I can find an "Andrew" street (my middle name) in reasonable distance, does that count?

In the nearby city of York, an ancient walled citadel here in England, there is a road called, Grape Lane
(https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.96059 ... 384!8i8192) . However, its original name was "Grapc*nt Lane". The word, "grap" being an old English word for "grope". It was frequented by ladies of the night. The good burghers of the city later renamed the street, "Grape Lane", which is rather a pity!

Crap. You guys are really going to make me go out and find my sign now. Fine. Once I get my tires replaced I'll go see what I can do.

So I don't see a new tag, seems the last one was a sign with your name.
I have 2, Nolan County and Nolan the town.




How about the next tag be your bike and a "scenic" view.

Kaslo bc harbour on kootenay lake . the grey dock is actually a floating stage for.big jazz festival every summer.
Its a big event especially when you consider the size of the host town and the small area population in general.
The pic in the screen shot was taken a few hundred ft to the left of the pic I took
