Hi Andy, thanks for the compliments on the bikes, yeah thats a busy place on sundays its a big layby and behind the trees on the left is a big picnic area & carpark, toilet block and a place you can get eats & drinks  8), cheers Mick. 

Ah sounds perfect Mick. I used to frequent a biker cafe just outside Oxford. Picnic tables outside, roll and sausage and hot coffee before a morning ride...cant be beat. I miss that place.

Have a good weekend,
cheers
Andy

Andy,

Here are a couple of pics of the sandcast at the C.O.M.A. picnic and a prior ride in St. Petersburg last year. Great bunch of guys there.  :)

Bikey in front of Tino's Auto Repair near Sandia, Texas.



Tino is the name of our cat, so I had to get a photo of his shop!

The ranch house where we stayed on the trip.



My Nighthawk is put together with wire and zip ties, burns oil, and handles like a pig.  I love it!

GREAT JOB!
what camera are you shooting with?
i love playing with my camera too. i've got a canon 30D and love to use my 1.8 fish eye for bike shots.
been waiting for the trees to get green so i can go out and shoot some action shots.
don't take me too seriously.

Ok.

Here's the Ocho about a mile & half from where I am moving our family. Getting out of the big city and heading for the country...man there's just a million miles of good roads around here, nothing too hilly but loads of great scenery...And the more I look at that low-mile bike, the more I realize I need some stock pipes to finish it off...

I think this picture is taken in early March, which for around here is a blessing to have weather warm enough to go for a blast.

Awesome photos guys, hey Marti that bike goes Ok for one with welded chains for shocks! ;D
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

JAG, yer bike looks better than ever, some extra polishing perhaps ? P.S....don't ya love our local roads !

Thanks a bunch Ray. Not much more polishing, although I need to get back to it ;)

Is that the same tank that you posted a thread about making the dents in Jag? 

Rach-


Hey Rachet, yes it is. I can show you some more pictures from different angles if you'd like to give you a better visual of the depth and curve of it.

Thanks everybody for the kind words.

JAG

P.S. Also very excited about going to Deals Gap or better known as the Tail of The Dragon this weekend, it'll be my first time.. Hope to come back with some great pictures to add to the thread.
Cafe Racing is mainly a matter of taste. It is an atavistic mentality, a peculiar mix of low style, high speed, pure dumbness, and overweening commitment to the Cafe Life and all its dangerous pleasures. I am a Cafe Racer myself, on some days - and it is one of my finest addictions. ~H. S. Thompson~
