inspired by Nikon Shooter  :)

 

An old image so chances are I already posted this. If so, sorry  :unsure:

 

vintage seems somewhat more gentle

You won't fool a honey bunny, Bart… a bike is a bike is a bike.

My client wanted "mean machines" and he likes what I delivered:
badass metal wheelers for his clients.

In the right light, the right angle, your gentle machine will look as
mean and nasty as others…

but I like your gentler approach too! :P

No, it isn't.

Driving a bike was a childhood dream I left behind when I grew up  :rolleyes:.

Fun and wonderful for a hobby but not very practical as an everyday means of transportation.

Unless you live somewhere where it's summer all year round.  :)

I drove bikes since I was 17 until I stopped some 15 years ago. In
Canada, I used to store my bikes for winter but, here in Europe, I
drove throughout the years. When biking, there is no bad weather,
only bad equipment.

Good night, buddy!
