Resuming regular programming

Riding in the Dandenongs with Boof, Bert and Roy was the best welcome to Melbourne a guy could hope for. And having a teeny-tiny camera meant I could capture some great shots like this one:

Heaven is a smooth, cool tarseal road winding through the forest on the side of a mountain, a warm man to hold onto, and a big reliable cruiser with a lesbian paintjob.

Of course, riding with a gang of black-clad bikers is part of the appeal, even if the abundance of personalised plates and pride stickers did kind of suggest that maybe these bikers werent exactly *heterosexual*.

I managed to snap a few incredible shots- this one of Bert is my favourite- see how shiny and crisp his bike looks, the blurry background, his pert butt.. *grin*

The first picture is excellent. Got other rolling ones?

[identity profile] smellykaka.livejournal.com 2005-04-26 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
The first of those two is the best so far - shoulda posted that one up front :)

's cool being able to see your hand reflected in the mirror in a photographic stuffup kinda way.

What photographic stuffup?

[identity profile] smellykaka.livejournal.com 2005-04-27 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
I was referring to the very first pic in the post itself with that comment, sorry...

As I said, what photographic stuffup?

(Ye cannae change the laws of physics. But you can fake it...)

Damn your cache. Try CTRL-Refresh...

Am I blind or have you fixed the image but i cant see your hand.

[identity profile] smellykaka.livejournal.com 2005-04-27 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Heh.

(I can see which bit of the image you've flipped and stuck in the mirror :) )

[identity profile] growler-south.livejournal.com 2005-04-27 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
it was a quick and nasty job on that one... the one at the top of the post is better, and in the versions I'm printing I used shrubbery from a completely different shot.

This is my kung-fu, and it is strong. Except when I'm just doing it to be clever.

Oooohhh!!!! The shot of Bert beside the concrete wall is opposite my work place in Box Hill!!!

I'm almost famous....... almost

[identity profile] boofbiker.livejournal.com 2005-05-15 12:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I was looking back at the pics posted here and I just wanted to say I am sure not the weeist, but if I remember correctly chris you were shorter... Just

(As you can tell, I'm much more cheery today. Your kind words and phone calls helped a lot. XX)

[identity profile] boofbiker.livejournal.com 2005-04-27 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
I think the next time you visit we should organise a few more fellas to go for a ride, like Max and Lee. :-)

I am also feeling a lot better today hate come down Tuesday. Now turn your cell phone on!!!

What, no biker gang fuck?! ;-{)##]

[identity profile] beastbriskett.livejournal.com 2005-04-27 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Looks like it was a great day riding! Hot bikes, hot buds, hot Growler--what could be better?
Taking pics to remember the good time, and sharing them.
Thanks, bud!

Gotta love those asphalt twisty-curvies - and 600 pound steel vibrators are nothing to sniff at either! Looks like a fun day for you guys.

But you're driving on the wrong side of the road

[identity profile] boofbiker.livejournal.com 2005-04-28 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
LOL it is amazing we never have head ons. LOL thankfully everyone down here drives on wrong side or we would be in trouble

Well I finally logged on and had a look at your pics (onbiously I've already seen one!) - excellent! Thanks so much for the framed one, and your company on what was a great day. Hope we get to do it again in the not too distant future.
