Tell me about your avatar.

I had this one for a while. Annoying isn't it?!

I can't be doing with people who change their avatar every 5 minutes. They must have a really short attention span......

I can just about cope with a change every now and then.

I do think the anyone who has a picture of themself as their avatar is a bit of a nobber.

Mines my 13 hybrid hence my username . First bike for 25 years and it changed my life for the better I think but it made me an obsessed cyclist

[Sharky]

Me finishing my first 50 in 1967 somewhere near Lydiate (Nr Liverpool).

I'd punctured and I'd patched it losing about 15mins and if you look close enough, there is a huge black smudge on my nose.

The bike was a "Bates" and would be valuable today, but in those days, it was just old, with HP's, steel handlebars and steel chain set. I traded it in a few weeks later for an RJ Quin with tubs and alloy everything. The next 50 I rode, I won 1st H/C with a time of about 2hr 16mins.

Mine was taken on a motorbike trip to Italy. We had a gorgeous week in the sun and then set off back to Denmark. This was at the start of September. We got to St. Moritz at lunchtime and it was pouring with rain, so we stayed in a hotel.

When we woke up the following morning. We found we had a metre of snow all over the countryside and we were stuck. The snow ploughs got us out and we eventually got below the snow line to another hotel.

What a nightmare of a ride it was.

My avatar is of me having a beer in the bar after our ordeal.





Notice the lack of winter boots My feet were freezing. In fact I was freezing all over.

Jannie was my pillion passenger and was a total hero.

I cannot tell you how welcome that beer was.

A drain on the ferry from Ijmuiden to Newcastle. I liked the colour.

 

[Dave 123]

This is a Charolais cow in France. We'd stopped for lunch along the canal de Borgogne on a tandem ride. Mrs Dave was snoozing, so I went and made friends with another young lady.

Yeh but, isn't it normally a picture of you?

Just me, playing a lovely 1940s vintage Martin 3/4 size guitar - most unfortunately not mine, because I'm also 3/4 size - at a friend's studio.

People with pictures of their children/grandchildren are even worse.
