I sure do hope that's a girl behind that yellow van door because those are some nice gams.

Here's a picture of a friend who rode his Harley out to see me last summer, and Sidecar Rosie. (Your top picture reminded me of him)

I choose to simply believe it so.

Hey Uncle, those are some cool specs on Rosie.  Did you ever read the The Dog Who Wouldn't Be?  Until now, that was the only dog I'd heard of that wore goggles.  (Mowatt's dog rode in a rumble seat and was able to flip his goggle down for riding and up for walking about).

Mutt was the first thing I thought of when I saw that photo too! Man, what a cool book. Re-read it 20 times since I was a kid...never thought I'd see it referenced here though.  ;D

Sorry to hijack.

Never heard of The Dog That Wouldn't Be... Is that a kiddie book?
The specs are Doggles- basically swimming goggles with a strap that goes under the chin. (We're talking about the dog, right?)

Here's another of Rosie in action. Sidecars beat pick-ups big time.
And in keeping with the spirit of the thread, here's some of my posse I ride with:

Ernie,

I use Photoshop.
Size the pic at 12 inch width & 72 dpi
And Save using the "save for the Web" option
Then move the quality arrow back and forth untill you're just under 80K
