well, you're in luck. My parents flew out to visit a little while back and my mom took a few shots

me, in all my florescant glory:

my garage looks even more cramped than it is

my dad and I kicking a honda :p

I would have had some outside shots (that could have been a little more flattering) but everything was frozen out there.

ok, I confess!!! What's worse, I rode pillion and let her have the pilot's seat, although I had to shift for her because her legs won't reach far enough. She has amazingly steady throttle control already.

no pics of you on loudbike Mysta?

I really need to get a digital camera. Want to get one before I start working on my bike so I can get before and after shots.

I don't know why, but all these pictures of parents with kids on their bikes makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

i entered too late in the turn, hit some loose gravel, slid, panicked, and lost control in the canyons.
How can you enter a turn too late?
You obviously entered it too fast, ran wide and lost it. There is no need to make excuses, just learn to ride.

Thats a little uncalled for and a mighty big assumption. Lets try to keep it positive shall we?

I wish I could get away with keeping my bike in my bedroom... then again I don't really want to haul it up 2 flights of stairs. And I know I lack the skill to ride it up... or back down for that matter.

I sort of did it for that reason, it forces me to dissassemble it and run through it before I carry it back downstairs and try and ride it in mockup form.

...and it's not in the bedroom, it's in the livingroom

my wife would kill me if I kept bike parts, much less a whole bike in the living room
