That's intriguing. I'm guessing since the Teddy Bear was perched there, it's some sort of artwork? What's with the chain attached to the front of the bike? I guess they want to make sure it stays there.
Interesting photos. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting. Here are some more. It looks so lonely. Any idea what road that is on? I would like to see it from satellite images. http://www.arestlesstransplant.com/tag/vermont/page/4/

Hi guys,
Sorry for the delayed reply.
The bike is on Ferry road, Charlotte, Vermont. Going west on Ferry road, pass Lake road and the bike is about a 1/3 of a mile on the right 50 yards away before a double-wide. From what I understand, the owner (now deceased of old age) was quite a character (former professional wrestler and boxer) and was known to have knocked out a horse with his bear fists. I can't remember his name but I can inquire if needed. I don't know if anyone died on the bike but apparently, one day, he just rode the poor thing into the middle of the field, shoved a teddy bear on top and left it there to rot. I'm inclined to think that it was more an attempt at an "art" thing than anything else... What can I say? Too many blows to the head?
On another subject, I have a '71 CB 450 which I'm (very) slowly restoring but the bike is missing a title. I'm in PA and it's impossible to get a new title made for it. Can anyone suggest something? Thanks in advance.
jf
P.S.: @drones76. Hey, this is the exact same bike! When did you take the pictures?

Your description puts it somewhere in here: http://g.co/maps/t6n3wToo bad the resolution isn't good enough in this area to pick out a bike. And there is no street view.

Did I write West? I meant East... So it's on the other side of the road and further down pass lake road. It says 840 in front of the double-wide. The bike is in the field just next to the double-wide. It is next to a small pond and is hardly visible. I think you have a better resolution with Bing maps. Did you take the pictures of the bike in the winter?

Ah yes, that makes a difference! So, I'm guessing it's in this field: http://g.co/maps/e3nffI didn't take the pictures, I just like finding stuff on google maps! I'm sure I'd be able to see it from google earth - but I'll have to wait to get home since I don't have that program here. Bing is hit and miss. Sometimes better and sometimes worse than google maps.
