Jim, that last picture just might be my favorite ever posted on bikeforums...
Looks like you've built up quite the collection. I seem to remember just a year or so ago it was just the Pug and the Raleigh.
What's the orange one?

Just some old Peugeots I had hanging around...
There are two that I might build, one day...
This lovely old Mixte...
And this PE41 Roadster, which I have collected all of the missing parts for...
The others have all been sold.

Great pics, Jim! The one of you laying on the grass among the bikes is a classic. 
You really need to come down to Leesburg to Cirque as I think you'd have a wonderful time. BTW, your tandem reminds me: I have a recent acquisition which I'll soon be revealing and believe you'll find very interesting

First, thank you for the nice compliment. I'll pass it on to my sweetie who took that one! I must point out that today is our 35th wedding anniversary. We were hanging out in the yard, doin' nuthin' in particular.
Yes, for many years I did have just the Pug and the Raleigh. As I'm typing this I recall that the UO8 is the only bike I ever bought new. The rest were literally basket cases started from bare frames and a random part or two. Two of the frames dropped into my lap unexpectedly. I don't know whether to thank or blame C&V for all this.
Th orange bike is (so I've been told) a '72 Bertin C-32, one of those made in Belgium after Andre's shop had a fire. It is still incomplete and obviously I haven't ridden it yet.

Cool pictures! Now you need to re-do them since your Gran Sport got a makeover.

Jim, I should have offered my kudos to you and Sharon in the above post, but couldn't bare (sic) to mix the metaphors!
I'll do so on Saturday.Speaking of which, can I have a signed edition of the "Reclines with Cycles" photo when I see you? In fact, it would also make the perfect picture for a June calendar page (6 bikes, 6th month).

Nice "come hither" eyes, Jim. I'm not sure I've ever giggled, but that photo makes me come close. Cool shots!

What I find amusing other people think is silly. I wasn't going to post it at first but I manned up and posted it.
I am glad that you enjoyed it.

That is a nice tribute to Jim, to say the least. I find the picture amusing AND silly, but that's one of the best things about the forums is that it allows us opportunity to do things like this. It only reinforces the community we have here.
