You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybody's crazy.

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

Thats cool Schnell.  By the looks of the trees in the background, it looks like a good bit have lost their leaves already.  I imagine that would be a great pic in full color.

Thank you nccb, scottly and ofreem. A friend correctly suggested that nude models (without travel bags) are preferable. I'll do that next time.

I actually like the travel bag look as it suggests you are on a journey, going somewhere....

Thanks Andy! By all means you can add the photo to the calendar voting. I have some others I'll put up on the thread for consideration.

Have you ever been to Barber? It is amazing!

Thanks Kevin will do.

Yes I went to the old Barber museum in 2001 when you could go down to the basement and see the bikes being assembled. I went to the new museum in 2004 and was equally impressed - truly is a mecca for motorcycles. Glad you had a good time! Couple of guys from Boston/NH were down at the same time as you.
