Welcome to The Thread™.

You misspelled Ricoh.

In this thread it is spelled livE hociR.

Carry on.

Welcome to the forum. I see you're from Australia. There has been a debate going on on whether Australia really exists or that the entire country may be paid actors funded by Nasa. Your thoughts?

Even though I believe that Australia does not exist and that Australians are actors paid by NASA to fool us I still value their contributions here. They are, after all, working hard at their craft and that is to be respected.

Miska Dombrowski, I would like to welcome you aboard no matter where you REALLY live. Wink, wink, nod, nod.

Found another picture of Racer.

When I was still a fat truck driver, riding around in Monstro, I had a load of thrust reverser tooling headed back to the manufacturing plant in San Diego, California from North Charleston, South Carolina. When I made that run (ran it a dozen times or more) I always stayed my last night at Yuma, Arizona, at the Flying J.

On one particular trip my mom was playing snowbird at an RV park in Yuma. She came out to the truck stop and we went to dinner.

Before we rolled out she fired off a few shots of me and Monstro with her Nikon D7000. Yeah, I know. The N word. I tried to enlighten her to the joys of Pentax, while keeping her clear of the livE hociR, but she gets set in her ways and all.

Of course i am always having to show her how to use the darned thing. She has no clue about what to do with the image files, other than sticking the memory card into a slot in some vile machine at MalWart, then selecting and printing 5x7 photos. To her, post processing is something done at a slaughterhouse or cannery with food.

Anyway, here ya go.

Fat Racer.

(I am about 60 pounds lighter now!)

Mrs Bob has a friend who's really into it, she even went to France last year to see it in person.

Has it started yet? Some of the bike maniacs at work were talking about it the other day, so I knew it was coming.

But no, I don't follow it. I sort of like the tactics of it but I think all the cheating has ruined it. No fun watching some guy making an impossible uphill break just to be reminded of why it is possible after all...
