I spend a lot of time on this forum and it forms a large part of my overall Meriden Triumph experience. I seek help and advice and get it from all over the world, and occasionally give some too; Webby, GPZ, Plewsy, Delrazor, etc -

It would be really nice to be able to associate a bike with the rider so come on guys, get out the box brownie and post a fetching snap of you and yours. To get things rolling, here's me and mine... Hope it gives you a giggle - with and without helmet!

Happy birthday to me, coincidentally. From the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation fundraiser bike show last year-

That's me on Richard Geer's bike from the movie "An Officer and a Gentleman". I had just installed the tail light lens and front disc brake cover to return it to it's appearance from the movie-

At the Bonneville Salt Flats, re-creating my class record run on my AHRMA production roadracer-

The wyfe and meself, with a few of the shinier bikes in the collection-

And having the time of my life at Barber's in Oct '08-

GrandPaulZ,
you need to walk, no run, to the nearest 12-step motorcycle buyers meeting... just kidding

I'd love a collection like that, except my bikes would be completely different, except of course for that lovely green Kawasaki and a moded Bonnie/Thruxton type.

Curious, what is that bike directly across from the Green Kowie (the one with the white fairing)?

Cheers,
Dan.

That's an original '83 Honda 750 V4 Interceptor.

What you see in that photo is about 1/8 of my collection, whcih now numbers 53 bikes in total (about a dozen are projects and non-runners)

I knew it looked familiar, as a teen back in the early 80's I used to see this red white and blue Interceptor all the time at the beach out in the Rockaways, and used to oogle it heavy! One of motorcycling's great bikes... I'd have that in my collection as well.

Since this is a picture post, I guess I owe one myself...

GPZ - NIce pics. Is that bike still owned by Richard Gere - i.e. was you fixing it for him?

Also, GPZ, I know a few people with as many old bikes as you. The difference is - NONE OF THEIR BIKES RUN!

Good thread. Ill get the old lady to take a pic of me with the Bonnie.
