    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Pic of the week game

I got my first motorcycle in 2008, when I was 36. My mom was around 66 at the time. She didn't like that her baby got a motorcycle, but she saw that it gave me joy, and she let me take her out for a three-mile loop. She was pretty terrified.
Happy Mother's Day to Mary! Thanks for the genes!


so either my daughter (who was 5 years old) or my father (67) must've taken this picture. I woulda said my wife, but I can see her feet walking out of the house. Ha.
 
.....
Mother. ....
.
Good idea for pics of some interest.
Pics of my bike and my mother would be only one pic, and for that will involve the musty slide boxes in the basement. Yes, that endeavor would be "in memorial"
(Although maybe not much different than the two posted already.).

I'll try one last one with the dreaded PB watermark, then I'll stop until I get my new site going.

This was three days before her 85th birthday. Unfortunately, her one and only ride.

It still shows up for me Roger, even in your reply.


Photobucket really had to take their 2 pounds of flesh didn't they?

At least you know one exists....I don't have anything like that at all....

Time to get creative....:)
 
1983. I had bike(s) only since 1979.
Nobody in family ever had a motorcycle before.
I would be 30, and Mom 51.

4th July picnic at our house, Out of the blue, Mom asks if I thought I could take her for a ride. Everyone was surprised. Very uncharacteristic of her. For one thing, she never learnt to ride a bicycle.

Not a good pic (deteriorated slide), but all I have.
 
I'm suprised you found that pic Dave. Nice! My mom rode with me nearly 30 years ago, but won't admit it. I have wittnesses...

Mother can be expressed in different ways guys, so doesn't necessarily have to be your mother.

Mother horse and a foul (correct term?)

A giant mother board from a computer (who's ever seen one of those right? just exploring different interpretations)

Any other creative thoughts?

Sure is cool seeing the pics so far though.
 
I screenshotted your photo and uploaded it to my flickr account, Steve.

Not coming from a very close knit family, my mother passing in 73, and having only 1 picture of the mother of my children in it, once again I chose to go to the lighter side. The morning after returning from CharlieG's rally, I opened my shop to find that my ride was a hussy during the trip and we had a new one....the proud mom and child.
