A photo I thought you might appreciate

Post by sunny72 »

It was torture trying to get this to embed with flickr so I gave up and used Photobucket. I hope it works.

Just thought you guys might appreciate this photo. We have an 11 week old now but this was around the 7 month mark. There are a couple more cool ones...

Details if this actually posts.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects handlebars to the saddle.

Amen brother, amen! I have NO phone access while riding ... which is quite nice. Was the only thing I missed about flying - being unavailable from my electronic leash (cell phone).

Isn't it painful to shift in bare toes (or even just to think about your pregnant spouse falling off and getting sandpapered or worse)? Or is this just sucker bait for a guy like me who won't even test ride around the block after changing the oil without gearing up?

I assume the bike was in motion here. Looks like the camera was in a fixed position & fired "first curtain" flash & then caught some motion blur before the shutter closed...

Look at the tires, wife's hair, etc. Believe this was a "stationary, on-the-stand" sort of photo.

Well, let's just say my sister is a photographer and no pregnant ladies were in danger (or in motion) during the production... in fact neither were my toes. I just thought it was a fun photo... no chance the pregnant wife gets near that bike while running without being dipped in Kevlar first. (edit: actually, no chance even with Kevlar dip)

Amen!! Especially when all goes well ... and then there are those who needed additional care/feeding. Billfold is still smarting on the last one.
