Post a pic of yourself - pic HEAVY

Hi All

Here's a couple of pics from good old Blighty!

First one is my wife and me, on our way to a childrens hospital (Annual Trikes R Us Christmas Toy Run)



This is My son (15yr old and 6'4"!) and me at the Ace Cafe in London last Sunday (4 Mar), historical bikers cafe from the 50's.



My Trike at the Ace Cafe, Very very very wet!

 

Where abouts in northern Ontario are you ?

 

That's where the term cafe racer came from... a real bit of history there.

 

LincsTriker.
You don't look old enough but I wonder if you ever got to the Ace back in the early 60's. I liked the Ace even though there was a lot of rubbish talked there by some of the inmates, never that keen on the BusyBee though.
Anytime your near Epping in Essex there's a tearoom in the forest just of the Robin Hood roundabout, great bunch of old farts on bike's hang out there.

Faighaigh.

 

LincsTriker.
Just put the bins on and you ain't old enough to remember the Ace back then. Must have been the excitment of seeing the Ace again, brought on a senior moment.

Faighaigh.

 

Here's me with my other obsession - my guitars. I collect them,13 and counting. my gf just hopes I don't get that obsessed with motorcycles.

 

Hey Flooflebinder, The picture was taken at the QV Brewery, some good friends own it and it's actually pretty good beer! Especially when it's free.....

 

A few hours north of Sudbury, are you from the north?

 

How 'bout something a little stronger? Sorry for the crappy pix, I don't have a scanner and had to scrounge the net for these.

 

Ok, the bottom picture should be on top. And I'm the guy on the right in the other shot.

 

Ah, my mistake then. I thought the bottle said "O.V. Light". Carry on.

 

How do drinking rot-gut and motorcycles go together??? I've never understood the attraction. There are hazards enough on the steed when you are sober. Oops, I'm on a soap box, how did that get in here? Where was I?
Ah yes, MaximTLB, do you have a 750 Max? The tank looked a little big to me in your photo.
LincsTriker, I love your ride! Wonder if my sweety would go for a conversion.

 

Originally yes now live in Pembroke , 2 hrs south of North Bay . Born on the Quebec side , Rouyn Noranda , but lived on both sides of the border and have familly on both sides all over , Timmins ,Sudbury , Cobalt , New Lisgard , Ville Marie , Kapuskasing , Temiskaming , We're everywhere :twisted:

 

Save the beer for after the ride.

 

While I do profess a fondness for a cold pint, it is always saved for after the ride...As for the bike, it's an 82 750 Max, the headlight and signal lights were changed and the seat and rear fender were modified by the PO. I picked her up in the fall for $800 CDN, 19,000km I've recovered the seat which is now black and she's getting some new paint in the next couple of weeks.

 

Aaahhh, post ride relaxing. Hopefully someone fired up the grill along with the cooler!
Thanks for the skinny on your tank TLB, I was a'wonderin. Sounds like you got a sweet deal!

 

Black seat and some new paint should make her look like a million dollars (CDN of course!). Don't forget to update the gallery.

Too bad you're not in the part of Ontario that is South of Michigan, spring just around the corner. I think you probably still have a few weeks of riding the sled.

 

Me 20 yrs ago.....


Last summer with my pretty wife.



Also last summer..out in Eastern Oregon with a bunch of buds..

 

I'll definately keep you posted on her progress. I have to say that the black seat already makes a big difference.

We still have lots of snow right now but it's slowly warming up...can't wait for spring....

 

I'm new here... nice to meet everyone!

 

Welcome Redneck

 

Those are the biggest gauge ears I've ever seen. Dang.

 

Me in central Washington on my way from Seattle to Boise, Idaho.

This is the only decent picture of me I could find...

 

Here's me enjoying some down time off the pavement this last Christmas. I know...I know...I don't look 48 but the camera lied in this pic so I used it. :lol:

 

Here I am in my Autumn plumage:


Here I am with my baby girl when she was a month old - we were geocaching and podcasting at the same time - how geeky is that?:


Here I am as a South Park character:

And finally, me as Pilot In Command:

My daughter and me a couple years ago.



My loving wife



The kids

 

Hey Ol' Grunt. Thanks for going. Thanks for coming home.

 

Chicken, ball, and hook.
Welcome home Marine, glad to have you back.

 

old Grunt- THANKS, and welcome home!

 

The non riding, non IT working version of me...i'm the one with the orange bass



And again...

 

Don't you just hate it when the boss sends the kids round to check up on you?



Relaxing at home

 

My turn. Picked up my bike for $400, carbs unhooked. Have put some work in to it and she's running, ridable and looking not so bad. I need to finish some paint (work schedule conflicts) then I'll be on the road. Here's a pic of me with one of my other hobbies and my other XJ (cherokee incase you didn't know).

 

alright guess i should post a picture of me here..

 

Me on my Seca last fall. Over the winter I ditched the old man windshield and highway pegs, polished the engine covers and cleaned and re-jetted the carbs. The previous owner installed an 850 big-bore kit, and re-jetted THREE of the Hitachi carbs with Mikuni jets. I have no idea how the thing even ran like that. It's running a lot better now, but still in need of some tuning and probably needs to have the carbs synced, but I've been enjoying it quite a bit.

And just to head off that discussion...the do-rag was just for show. I have a good modular helmet that I *always* wear when riding.
