Pic of the week game

[Redman]

Jay RedmanSIL found it funny that he had to give me a ride (his FJR) after I had left an accessorys on all night on my RT.
He also had fun exaggerating his adjusting the suspension, and loudly announcing "Passenger" and "Luggage" and "Extra Luggage".
His pic, me pointing at RT that needed to be on tender for something like about 8 hours.
That pic has my bike (RT that I had at the time) so that is the submission.

I first thought of this pic, of same occassion, but it doesnt include my bike.

Interesting Don.

I can somewhat imagine you finding a resteraunt with your name, kinda.
But tell us about it having a plate with the picture and name like that, and you having the plate, and you having it at your bike for the picture.

Does the resteraunt name of your name indicate any particular type of food??

Dave, to answer your questions there are a lot of restaurants named Don Pepe or Don Pepe's particularly in areas with a large Spanish speaking or Hispanic heritage population. In the U.S. that primarily means Mexican restaurants. That particular plate comes from a restaurant in Puerto Rico. In Spanish Pepe is a nickname for Joseph or Jose. And Don is a respectful title like Mister. So in English parlance the restaurant would be something like Mister Joe or Mister Joe's.

In my case though the heritage is Italian. My father's parents were both off the boat from Italy in the early 20th century. There it means pepper. But that does not keep me from getting a whole bunch of Hispanic targeted appeals here in Florida. :lol:

My wife said I should call the theme Ride Share. Interpret however you like. Ride Share.

I had a hard time picking a photo for this.
Not selected: me with my bike at an actual Park-n-Share off the interstate. I was out of gas.
Not selected: me with the guy I sold my first motorcycle to.
Not selected: me with my brother riding post for 200 miles in Alaska.

Selected: My mom, allowing me to take her for a three-mile spin, even though she was not excited about her boy buying a motorcycle.
