2/2
4h 34m
Bonus: Statue(s). 1 is the Statue of Liberty, a gift from France in 1886. Sits in New York Harbor. There is one photo from the Jersey City side and one other from the Staten Island Ferry. The other one with me in it is the Katyn Statue in Jersey City. It is quite controversial since Steve Fulop wanted to move it a while ago because he felt it marred the view of the NYC Skyline. It was a gift from Poland and it commemorates the Katyn Massacre by the Soviets.

These are amazing rides. I'm surprised to hear they even have helmet laws there, when you see how many people getting stuffed in those trikes and in bikes

Less than 1/2 the motor bike drivers wear helmets, I don’t think passengers need to and I only have have seen more affluent looking riders have passengers with helmets. I think almost nobody takes it seriously most often have the chin strap undone and flapping in the wind, if they have a full face helmet often put their arm through it and let in hang by their elbow ready to put on as needed. Since talking on the cell phone is common and ear buds are not, the helmet would get in the way.

Two adults and two kids on a scooter is common sight. Along with the bales of hay and sacks of grain I did see one ‘classic’ scooter with step ladder. Completely safe.

Do you need all vechicles in one ride or is t a point per vehicle?

I read it as immediately, meaning during you ride. So do my four count once I get the train tonight or do I have to re-post once I get the fifth? Thank You, sorry for the misunderstanding. It seems the original post has been modified. And please don't call me a d*ck , I am trying to do this properly.

Some guy in a pickup truck called me that when I was on the road riding from Sterling to Ringwood.

Someone once told me it’s one of these repurposed. If you know what it is, I’d like to know as I’ve wondered for years.View attachment 118101

It could be if you look at the 'other' better preserved side...those WWII Jeeps are tiny and the one in the picture seems to barely fit in there.

And here there's one restores...LVT-4 Alligator in the Musée des Blindés, France

My brother owns a paving company that is not a power box. It's an LVT. Where are the augers to move the asphalt to the screed. Oh yeah where's the screed, no screed no power box.
