Up In The Air

Awhile ago, we happened to see this on a residential street. Wonder what happened?

It reminded me of this motorcycle way up high in the city of Harrisonburg. It was in the parking lot of a motorcycle store, and used to attract customers.



A bicycle does get you there and more.... And there is always the thin edge of danger to keep you alert and comfortably apprehensive. Dogs become dogs again and snap at your raincoat; potholes become personal. And getting there is all the fun.

Odd. Yet, catchy.

Hmm, I wonder if the bike was a prank or put there for a reason.

My first thought was just like and said a prank that somebody put somebody's bicycle up there for a joke. I can't think of any other reason any sensible reason why anybody would put a bicycle in a tree. But then they did put the motorcycle up in the air haha

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy????????

I think I'd want to knock on the door, and ask.

'Cause if they left it there, or put it there, they certainly wanted people to wonder.

LOL

The bicycle on the tree to stop theft? Interesting way to advertise, placing that big motorbike so high up.

The bike may be some form of decoration :-) The motorcycle up there must work to attract people for sure!

George said...

The motorcycle I can understand -- the bike is a mystery.

A great quote to go with these photos. I wonder how that bike did get up in that tree?
