A couple from the road

Two of the sixteen covered bridges around here.

 

Great shots! But something has always puzzled me. Why cover a bridge?

 

They are made from wood, it keeps the weather off, no other reason.

I come from covered bridge country also Joe.
Raised in southern Indiana close to rockville with a ton of covered bridges. Nice place to rest after a bike ride.
Open horse carriages used to wait out storms in them also.
Library wil be closing now. Nod.

damn I thought that they were all gone, I miss the mid-west

 

Love the covered bridges. A couple of summers ago I took my Harley on a poker run that went through 12 covered bridges.

Well, it's still here for now! :lol:

 

So seldom see covered bridges any more. Nice pictures,thank you for sharing them.

Looks like you are getting a lot of fun out of the bike.

 

Yes, I am thank you....today I rode to the Linesville (Linesville PA, 500 miles west of NYC, 500 miles east of Chicago) bike shop- I was kid in a candy store!

The guy helped me out with a rear wheel for my next project and had.....A HALF DOZEN MOTORED BIKES, INCLUDING HIS OWN PERSONAL RIDE!!!!

All had the China 70cc engine.

Suh-weet!

 

did you tell him about or send him to the site?
sounds like our kind of people !!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Well, yeah! :lol:

I asked him where he got his engines, and he said; "er, uh, I get 'em from 'down south'." He says he never heard of dax, simpson or kings.....
