Hi
Have been off the forum for a while. Haven’t been riding much lately, partly because I don’t want to go by public transport to get out of town and also because I’m really disappointed with how my bike feels/responds after firmware update 6 weeks ago.
Well I have been riding, we’ve had some really hot days end of June and I’ve been enjoying the warm evenings a daylight until 10 pm.
Anyway here is my contribution to car of the day. Did a 22km ride after dinner and had ice cream and coffee at the usual hang out.

I just realized I have some more car photos somewhere on my phone from a nice evening ride 23 June. I’ll post later. Very different car.
The bike still works but it has lost much of that natural feeling I so much enjoyed.
 
23 June
After dinner ride to my favorite ice cream café. ( about 9km one way) It’s not the best ice cream in town but a nice view.
Picture taken 7.20 pm and it was warm and the sun sets at 10pm this time of year so I went south of the city and did a total of 42km arriving home at 10.15 pm. There is no midnight sun in Stockholm but it doesn’t really get dark around midsummer.
Don’t know what year this car is. Mid or late 60’s ?

That looks like approx 1966 if my memory serves me. I think the model is a Bonneville. PaD I am glad to hear from you. I was concerned that the Covid might have hit you.

Thank you Steve, I’m fine. S..t tired of course having to be careful in daily life but I’m not the only one in this situation and have been lucky to be allowed to go out for bike rides and walks whenever I want to.
Take care.

Welcome back! A Super Cool Bug... Diggin' the retro touches along with the slammed ride height. :D

Sweet ride. Love that flowing body style and I’d guess ‘66-‘67.😎
 
Weird and unusual! Driving home from a ride today!
What are the odds of running over a box end wrench and having it driven into your brand new Nitto Terra Grappler tire!
There's $200 down the drain.

But wait it gets worse, it blows in a construction zone! I have to change the tire in a narrow strip between lanes of traffic going by at 70mph!
I was truly scared for my life!

Now THAT is something I’ve never seen before! Interestingly enough the last time I had a major flat to a truck tire like that happened in Minneapolis!

LOL that's funny. I still can't figure out how a box end wrench can get driven into a tire by running over it. It made a loud bang. I wonder if it hit under the wheel well just right and got wedged and the tire had to give.

I hope it was a nice wrench and you saved it... SnapOn? 😉
