I'm a big fan of this thread. I'll have to (regrettably) keep you guys in suspense for a little while, until I can find my camera cable. I just moved into a new place and can't figure out which box it's in...

Am I the only one?
When I read postings - especially ones by the regular contributors - I always get an image in my mind what they look like. Sorta like when I read a book: I mentally picture the characters, you know?
Characters...now that describes quite a lot of us here on the Forums!
Anyhow, let's see you guys and gals post some pics of you with your bike(s)! Working on them, riding on them - or just standing there looking proud/happy/confused/goofy/whatever!
A little story behind the pics is always welcomed.

Thanks!

That red-with-white is a sharp-looking color scheme, but I am admittedly biased.

First I am a newbie.
I shoot pistols in NRA 2700 point competition, and I raodrace motorcycles in WERA & CCS.
If went to a shooting forum, and posted a picture of where I went clean (perfect score)in 25 yd rapid fire and showed a picture of me showing peeps the clean target and my 1911 is pointed at the people I am showing the target to, I would get replies, and rightfully so, that I gota pistol pointed at people. My response would be, the pistol ain't loaded?
Also, in WERA motorcycle roadracing, I post a picture of me lapping the track sans helmet, I would get replies of where is my lid? My response would be, that is a practice lap?
What kind of message do we send to others?
Where is it when the truth is taboo?
Picture me and my wife on our bikes. I am 69 years old, I guess that makes me a little cranky!

No, we're glad to have you here. We just stay away from the helmet issue; it has a history of getting really out of hand, and I was one of the guilty parties, though I thought it was kind of funny.

Not so great picture taken about a year ago at Cabrillo National Monument, San Diego. Bike is the 72 P-15 with modern Campy drivetrain except for the early Shimano Barcons.
Believe it or not, I (or rather my bike) was recognized out there once by a rider who had posted in C and V. That really surprised me!

Old ride, bought by me in '72. New ride, bought by someone else in '73.
I didn't think I needed a helmet for a posed photo. I should be mowing the lawn.
You'll have to click on the thumbnails. I know, that's asking a lot.

Bicycle Repair Man !!!
One of the greatest joys in my life is having a partner that likes to ride nearly as much as I do... and I did a little cradle robbing of my own.
Our age difference is only 9 years and most people take us for being much younger than we are and think healthy living and lots of physical activity has a lot to do with that.
You don't look a day over 45.

Another one with me and my 15 year old daughter.
cehowardGS, welcome to the forum - we can always use another shooter around here. This won't mean much to most of you, but cehowardGS? My daughter (pictured) went Distinguished Expert with her rifle a day before she turned 10. She got her second Distinguished Expert in pistol a few months ago, just in time for dating.
She has a very, very good instructor and coach.
