Abandon something. I don't even know what it is.

Italian "Truckorcycle"

"Ancient truckorcycle" photo taken near the petroglyphs in Valcamonica in Northern Italy. Any ideas on its provenance?

Took a ride from Seattle to the Arctic Circle, found a whole town that was abandoned. The GPS said there was a gas station there, although technically correctly, it was off by 20 years.

The motor looks like a Moto Guzzi Falcone.

It's a Moto Guzzi 500cc Motocarri. Made in various forms from the late 1920s until 1980.

My contribution: The Ghost town of Gagnon on the Trans-Labrador Highway. It appears on maps, but there is nothing there. The entire town was pre-fabricated buildings, and when the mine closed down, they removed all the structures.

This strip of asphalt and sidewalks is in the middle of the northern Quebec wilderness.

R100R Rider, I see a fair number of buildings like that when I ride through nearby rural areas. I always wonder what the history is behind the property. That is a sizable structure. Thanks for posting.
 
Bluehole, the photo is of the old hotel in Shelby, Alabama. It is next to the remains of the Shelby Iron Works that were destroyed during the civil war. They were rebuilt and the town survived into the twentieth century.
