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  :'(

I've spent the last couple of hours f##king with my scanner; finally got a couple of pics... My 250 CZ, circa 1975, taken by my dad, and a pic of one of my mentors hot rod motor, circa 1967. (I took the pic from the top of a step-ladder, then developed and printed the pic with the help of a neighbor kid, in his dad's garage darkroom.)

Anyone think this one is real?  ;D


_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Just a guess..but I'd say it's not actual/real.  The locomotive looks to be an early 1900's Baldwin..and the bike a teens vintage..

The state of photography then wasn't advanced enough to capture stop action like that..I believe.  The motorcycle would have been quite blurred..if it was going fast enough to make that jump.  The landing angle seems a bit low also.  My guess: that the bike pic was superimposed on the locomotive pic.

Be interested to see what others "analysis" of the pic is..

You're right about that as the shutter speed from a side angle to stop motion like that would have to be faster than 1/500 of a sec..  No cameras back then could do that. Plus you can see the spokes...Larry

The ultimate dirt-bike, IMHO. This pic was taken just after I bought it in '82. According to the Honda brochure, it has 51 HP, and weighs 227 pounds. I put a LOT of miles on this bike! ;D
