Work team photo
« on: June 23, 2007, 12:03:05 PM »
I am a IT engineer for a very large credit card bank. Lately the higher-ups have been pushing this "get to know your co-worker" crap. We have to build our own personal website for each site, posts pics of us, and write brief summarys of our life, what we like to do, and so forth. I have seen some of the other sites pages and let me just say this.....boring! Since the three of us in my site all ride, I thought our team photo could be on our bikes. I kinda stick out of the group a little....  ;D


CB750 K5..........................................Honda CBR 900RR......................................Yamaha FJR1300

After we posted this pic, my boss decided to get into the fun. This is what he emailed us and the pic he attached:

"Nice bikes guys, I suited up this morning to head to work and thought of you all.. Maybe we could get together for a bike trip sometime, though I've been getting pretty poor mileage lately, would be quite a few stops on the way down I think."

You do stick out a little.  Your bike is shinier.
Go metric, every inch of the way!

....and when you guys ride together I'd bet that YOU are the one who gets the most questions and comments
about your bike at all the stops? My blue K5 does that too 8) ;D.....

agreed the F1 has the same effect, unless you ride with MV augusta's or the like, people are so underwhelmed with modern bikes now days.... good effort..

I would say my bike gets comments about 50% of the time I am out. Most of the comments are from older riders that remember riding a CB750 back in the day. I get a lot of "is that bike for sale?" or "what do you think that bike's worth?" Of course the answer is always no!  ;D
