His first ride on a big bike. Age 14, some might say that we broke the speed limit....but I say we just stretched it a little.

My granddaughter who thinks ALL of the bikes in my garage are the coolest things. I'm convinced, if they still exist when she grows up, she'll be a rider...

I have a carpet in my garage, too

Our daughter, 1984

My 82 GS650G


Same daughter, 2010, directly after her wedding

Her daughter, earlier this year, my bike and her dads bike.

And a few weeks ago. looking at her dads bike.

And just yesterday, we were walking thru the garage at her house, and she pointed at her dads bike and said "mo-hia-hoe". I suspect that might be the first 3 syllable word she has pronounced.

Oh, Hey, speaking of influence: Look at the change in her dad's bike.

She almost looks like she's calling for Merlin to appear in her 1984 baby picture

Best pic I have for the theme. Me and my younger son @ 2011? ... as soon as he could securely plant his feet on the passenger pegs. He?s 14 now and taller than me.

Back in the film camera days I sometimes liked to play around with double exposures. This one dates from 1978.

Happy Friday GSR Photo Fans! Time to vote for one of these excellent photographs!

First, the theme of the week, by Steve Murdoch:

How about "Influencing the Grandkids".
Doesn't have to be a grandkid, but a photo of your bike with a young person. Could be a son, daughter, neighbour's kid or maybe some young person that admired your bike at a coffee shop. I think we can be fairly lax as to what age "young" would be...14ish?

More to follow...

 

[Baatfam]

And more....

That should be it. If I missed anyone's photo let me know.

Great stuff this week....Thanks!

Hard choice this week. Lotsa cute kids. My vote is for Mr. Dpep.

ot. just looked out the window. it's snowing again. grrrrrrr

Don dpepe gets my vote. The picture just stops me in my tracks. The smiles get me, and I imagine are great for don wether are some close family member (past and present or not) or some random long gone neighbor.

I have to believe the double exposure was intentional the way one is arranged with the other. And both are great captures of the scene, each with two people, so four times the difficult (or maybe to power of four).
and that is capture of light through the lens ( Not later manipulation).

if anybody wants to know how to do that on a 1970s camera.
take one picture, push the release button meant to allow rewind film, throw the lever meant to advance film and rearm the shutter but the film doesn’t advance, take the next exposure.

 

[Rich82GS750TZ]

lots of great pics but this one's a no-brainer. dpep for the win

 

[kerrfunk]

Well I'ma vote for redman. I like everything about that photo.
Close second for dork, honorable mention for agemax's possessed cat. What could possibly go wrong?

Don's multiple exposure is well-done, and either it's too busy for me or it's just not my style. But that's why we vote!

 

[gustovh]

Redman's photo is eye catching but my vote is for dpep.
