Great picture! This shot captures what riding motorbikes is all about for me. Check out the bling on that ride! The smile on the dial and the white knuckles  :D

What's that kid doing up late after his bedtime having fun  :D Most of us only dreamed about doing laps around the house in the dark.....but this kid was doing it. Looks like he got sprung by a hidden speed camera though ;D ;D ;D

takes a bit of skill to 'power slid' one of those Victa lawn mower powered rides!!

The only time I would have looked like that riding mine was when the thing was about to throw me off!

Just been sitting back with a couple of beers & enjoying these pages, great pics & comments all of them, keep them coming!!, love it. Thought i was 'cool' a while back when someone left a 'free' "60 rear projection tv at the end of our road, [stampede, but i won--first mistake] bought it home & cleaned the "algie" build up out of the [whata ya callits]3 color pods, plus changed [strained] the anti freeze--long story actually & involved a 'turkey baster' [true], then sat back in the car halfway out the driveway & watched 'Steve McQueen' in 'Bullitt' with said tv playing back in the car shed. Never got to see the end as tv blew up. Found the fuse but blew replacement so bridge it with a 5mm bolt, that Fkd it totally. I'll swear it lifted off the floor with th explosion. Anyway, i was cool parked in the driveway while it went [or not]. The Bullitt dvd i have is a two disc one & shows the making of the film to some extent, can't remember it all so must [play it again 'sam']--all good stuff. Cheers.

My cool 'clock', [i said clock] came with our yz80g by memory. [kids 43 now] Importer had some to give away with the first [so many] sold. Still hold good time but pretty sure i gave it some crc once [bit of a service & oil change]Looks like it went so fast after that--that one of the number bars has dropped off.

story didn't come up but was just that these pics relate to the [not cool] tv & turkey baster story somewhere above yesterday of mine. One more [watching "bullitt"] just to show it worked--before it blew up.
