So if you live in the Black Forest then your bike next to a cookoo clock factory :lol:
Righto, meth lab it is :)

My neighbours are being rowdy in the garden, drinking cider and wearing trackies.

Maybe I could wheel the bike over?

Nah, haven't seen any in 25 years or more. You've been out of the country for too long.

Apparently white dog turds were as a result of high levels of bone meal in dog food. The pet food manufacturers changed the formulation and white dog turds vanished from our streets, grass verges and pavements...

It's a pity the dog turds haven't disappeared altogether. :(

Good chance I've mentioned this before, but the building that I live in has a sort of 'dead space' at the front. In the winter it is full of snow and doesn't get cleared because it isn't an access or walkway.

In spring you can see just how many dog owners (tourists and seasonaires that leave before the melt) think that it's ok to let their dogs shit on the snow in this dead space because no one can see it. Until spring when the snow melts and we are left with an area right in front of the building that is basically full of dog shit.

Some dog owners need their noses rubbing in it!!
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!! :bblonde:

Weather is keeping the ZRX11 parked today. May start putting the ZX11 brake calipers back together with all the new gubbins.

I am no expert, but I think that those silos in the photo feed some industrial size cement mixers.

This is one of the HS2 sites that I think makes sections for a tunnel near Southam, Warwickshire.

If that works for folks, and keeping the theme of cement/concrete in mind how about your bike next to a concrete building or structure, something brutalist in reinforced concrete.

Don't be rude about ajlog's bike. I mean, it is only a triumph, but cement mixer, is a little harsh !!

My bike at Orford with the old CIA building behind it, there's also a concrete quay face in the picture.

Next your bike with something related to intelligence, this can be as vague as you like
