Cow Poop & Hardwood Smoke

[fish]

Really great to be out again in the countryside on my scooter here in the Midwest.
The smell of cow poop from the passing farms and the hardwood smoke in fireplaces is .....good?
Yep, it was nice to experience all of that again today.
Put a little over 50 miles on the LIKE200i - after sitting in the deep freeze for a month, with no starts - only some periodic attention from the battery tender.




Final destination was my coffee village for a cup of joe from Dino's.

The pics of the journey tell the story. Got it . . . ride it. Grab for the gusto while you can. The shroud of Winter is just over the horizon. Bring on March!

About the cow flops. . .don't get any on the tires or you'll have to hose it down.

Every time I visit the Farm my daughter works at I have to do a shoe sole and tire check before I park the PCX in my garage.

Did you or your buds do any ‘ cow tipping’ in the past ?

Shoot, every time I take the bikes out of our basement I have to deal with either lots of mud, or dog poop.
Cow poop is much easier to see than dog poop. :-/

Mel True! Awful ain't it?

fish, Your photos remind me of rides I would take in Northern Florida, right before and through sunset. I'd pass farms of cows and horses and their poop odor would pass through my vents before I even got there!
I don't know about where you live, but in Florida some farmer's use a process to liquidize the manure and then use it to water their farmland. And with a good down-wind? WooHoo!
Oddly....I got use to it. Did I have a choice? Whenever I rode that way again, I'd simply grin inside my lid and say, "here we go again...."
(I use to work in a stable as a kid, so me and horse manure go back along way. Guess it's lurking in my olfactory)

Great pics! Best looking Like200 on planet Earth. Can't beat that!

Every spring my grandparents would drive to the farm where my grandmother grew up and return with a trailer load of cow poop and spread it on their garden. My grandmother called it gold dust.
