June 2023 botm

[kerrfunk]

I took this picture in the summer of 2009, after owning this bike, my first, for half a year or so.
This 82 550L not only introduced me to riding, but I found this site because of it.
I always thought this was a BOTM-worthy photo -- all it took was a dry spell with few submissions! :-p

Kerry, sorry I didn’t post about this earlier, now that the month is over. That bike is definitely worthy of Bike of the Month.

Truth is I rarely visit the Homepage. Didn’t even know I had been picked a few months back til someone mentioned it. Thanks for bringing it up so we can appreciate it, til tomorrow.

Ooopsie, in my excitement I was confuzzled and I titled the post May 2023 BOTM.
I edited the title to properly say June.

Well now we get to admire it for a whole month.

Not much difference in May and June, appx. 1 sec. I think... I hadn't check BOTM yet, glad you reminded me... Well deserving, Congrats.

Amazing choice indeed

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the 550L look like the bike that appears on screen in Trainspotting?

Literally less than a full second on screen, a montage with a few Londoners surrounding the Suzi looking, or trying to look cool. Ring any bells, anyone?
