Title: GS500 and famous landmarks
Post by: 3imo on May 09, 2006, 08:12:55 AM
I was riding to work today and drove past the "famous" bollwevil monument here in Enterprise AL.  I thought it'd be cool to start a thread of the GS500 parked in front of various Landmarks around the world.

I hate to start a picture thread without a pic but I will post one of the monument and modify this post.

I am sure there are plenty of you out there that live near something famous. upload your pics to the photogallery and post a link to it here.

I think this is a great Idea, perhaps John could make it a sticky. It will give us all a feel for the other members localities and trips.

Turd, you need to go get a GS next to the World's Largest Ball of Twine about 2 hours east of Manhattan in Cawker City.
