He said in another thread that he was asked by another member to remove it for the sake of the women & children that read this forum. I'm paraphrasing but that's basically it.

I'm still in mourning  :'(

He once had a chick on a chopper and I felt the urge to PM him and ask him to send me the file. Definitely, his last one was much better than that old guy with the signaling cone up his rear end...

Hoo baby! Check out those ankles! woo woo! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

On behalf of the mods, I'd like to plead a big "Not Guilty" here.

It is true that we have had complaints about avatars in the past (you may remember) but I certainly don't recall any reports of that one.  Personally, I like his avatars.

He may have had complaints by PM.

Thanks for taking another members' views into account.  By all means put them in your personal album (with a link in your signature) - but please get rid of that "SOHC approved" thing! How about a picture of your bike (?)  8)

For those of you offended by Avatar images, do this:

1) Click the 'Profile' button in the top menu
2) Go to the section titled 'Modify Profile'
3) Click 'Look and Layout Preferences'
4) find the checkbox labeled, 'Don't show other users' avatars.' and check it.
5) Save your preferences and go back to reading the site without worrying about your boss, wife, or kids.

I have the best of the best in my gallery,and would love to put more, but I have
used up my gallery space, I was told. Give me more space and I will post more pics...
How about a picture of your bike (?) 8)
How about this picture, which has a bike in it...
If someone doesnt like my avitar, do what Glen said and then you wont have to look at them.
What can I say, I love women, am into Motorcycles/cars, & am a Man...

The Wisdom of the Great Guru Glenn is Neverending ;D ;D

I, for one, respect and admire every avatar Proteal has ever used, well, except that approval one of course.

Long Live Free Speech!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
