Airedale terrier in 1916-24 HD sidecar

my friend found this great foto , i gotta think its a little foto shopped .. you can see the toolbox on the tank in front of the Corbin speedo, its got a amp gauge on top of the box, horn below headlight, ever notice the early bikes never had mirrors? no door to the outside off the boat.

Afrikan elefants extinct 2027..anything for a buck




Pretty sad state of affairs, amazing cruelty, in the yr 1900 Afrika was estimated to have some 10 million Afrikan elefants, 1989 some 630,000, today some 300,000,, 2027 the only elefants left will be in zoos if not killed off by EHV-9 , Equine Herpes Virus 9 a killer of Asian elefants...


If you have ever seen these guys in real life , they are amazing, ...rhinos will be extinct in 10 years outside of zoos, ... anything for the almighty dollar..........

Stug wheels tracks recovered in Romania












Reader sent me these amazing fotos of these massive Panzer wheels and tracks, by looking at the old fotos my guess these are for the Stug. i could be wrong , but they look closest to this vehicle, what a job that must have been to swap out or service these massive wheels and tracks.
If you have interesting fotos , send them to me ..
