Dan Hiebert Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) Maine DOT has at least a couple older versions of those in northern Maine. I'm told the USAF gave some to the State to help keep the roads clear for access to the various Air Force bases that used to be here. (One of them, Loring, about 60 miles north of here was supposedly the largest SAC base in the US.) Then the State got some more from surplus when the bases closed. MDOT uses them to help clear drifts, and they're pretty awesome to watch in action. When I was doing some research before moving here, I explored a little in Google Earth, saw this in Houlton, and casually wondered what I was getting into...

Here she is on one of my favorite motorcycles. Gotta give her credit, not many ladies ever rode a Guzzi as easily as she seems to.. Even if she did kinda goof up when she got off it..

MackTheFinger Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 I like Triumph choppers. Here's one from my own two hands. Built about '78, pic was pre-'82. I still have it but it has different paint, tank, and forks now.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackTheFinger Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) Hope this works.. It's pic of the gas station I worked at in high school. This picture was taken before I worked there. It was a Gulf station when I started. Still had a gravel lot out front, though. Crulus, the man in the pic; built a new Sinclair gas station right behind this one and was still operating it when I worked at this one. I got paid $1.00 per hour, worked 20 hours a week, gas was about .30 a gallon, $1.00 a carload at the drive-in, 20 cent burgers, LOTS of good looking girls, a fully stocked machine in the restroom... Man, I had a GREAT time!! ? Edited March 4, 2019 by MackTheFinger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lived through the best and we'll never see the like again.. I'm happy to have those times to look back on. That old service station building was still there last time I was through there 12-15 years ago but it hasn't been in operation for at least 35 years. I need to go by there sometime before it's gone.
