      Rich gets my vote, purely for the fact that brings back lots of fond memories of when i owned one of those death trap ATC's. Never had so much scary fun on a bike as i did with that one, lol

        Thanks, "scary fun" is a good phrase for that. My cojones must have been way bigger way back then. No way I'd ride something like that now, at least the way I rode it back then.

          For me it's a toss up between bccap and Dorkburger. Both show the new proud owners but as others have noted, it's dorkburger's grin that seals the deal.

                  Good morning and thanks.
                  This week took me back in time a bit. That LTD was probably the perfect bike for me to start street riding on and I did enjoy it, but my real love for streetbikes / street riding began when I bought my brothers 83 GS 1100e. They are still among the short list my favorite bikes.

                  Rich's ATC picture had me thinking about the last time I rode one. Long after I sold my 250r, my brother bought one for cheap and got it running. One particular Sunday morning we stopped by. It had snowed about two inches the night before and it was quickly melting. I took it out for a rip around the field across the street. Before long the feeling, familiarity, and fiendish joy of the machine came back and I had it in 6th gear, wide open, back wheels broken loose on the snow / mud, and steering by subtle weight shifts to steer from the rear. It was a brief and wonderful visit to the glory days when we rode every Sunday. My brother watching from afar commented to his stepson "thats how one of those is supposed to be ridden"......

                      I have been waiting for a chance to post this picture. A lot of you will laugh, mock me and call me a cheat but it is a genuine photo i took on my mobile phone. did not see anything untowards when i took the picture and it only became apparent when i uploaded it to my laptop. The garage where i keep my bike stored is about a mile from my house and is next to Radford lake. Here is a link to the White Lady of Radford http://hauntedplymouth.blogspot.com/...lady-road.html

                              Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.
