Mosaic garbage can...made out of mortar stone and ceramic tile (I'm guessing?) That's very cool.
Of course your photo's are beautiful, some like paintings ;)

Not only does that sidecar look great, but I also love that trash can. That is a great way to bring attention to where they are. ...and there is a restaurant here that serves Nitro coffee. The coffee is good, but then I am not one to ask. I live on coffee. Hot coffee, iced coffee. I was in the military. Everyone in my family says that I bleed coffee.

With pics like these, Homie needs to add a "Picture Whisperer's" signature and have Fish as the first name. :D

I saw this BMW at the train station and it was very impressive parked. Truly a nice looking machine and the boxer engine had my curiousity until I got home and watched this video. Can anyone tell me what squashed my interest after watching?

Off topic one more minute please....

@ homie 1st vid: I'm hearing an unpleasant N O I S E coming from somewhere. Muffler sounds sick - but gets your attention whether good or not.
ABOUT the bike, did I hear No Clutch? :roll:

2nd video: had me smiling. Then came the end, when I Really laughed! He was awesome (right 2yous?) :lol:

What about this instead? fish starts his own photo album thread in the gallery.
Maybe title it something like:
"Went Fishing for Photo's" (ah well, you get my drift) :D

I agree fish photo's are way above average in here... always.

The bmw motorrad boxer engine design sounds like a dirt bike to me (might be the exhaust system only IDK) It's a crying shame because when you see one live you will be awe struck at the equipment. The thing is beautiful and different enough to command attention.

Yes bit pharty as standard. My Boxer Cup came with I think a Lazer Exhaust but I changed it for a Staintune system from Australia.

Not Pharty. More Lancaster bomber.

Yes agreed. Against my better judgement I do like BMW boxer twins.

In cars it would be a V8 though. It's just right.

Lovely colour on the Liberty. I actually thought it was a BV350 at first :)
