Your AVTAR

[Martin Barrett]

The thread title hopefuly explains it all

 

I make the assumption that your avtar means somethin to you, here's the chance to explain it. (include a copy of it if you tend to change them)

 

 

Mine - is a statue of a goose I came across whilst riding back along the dyke tops returning from Jaap's

International V11 meeting held in Varsseveld, Holland in September 04. It seemed fitting a Goose on a Goose.

 

[Guzzirider]

Mine is Ashley Law on the Tenni raced in the proddy TT a few years back. I just like the picture.

 

I change mine every few weeks cos I get bored.

[Frenchbob]

Mine is me a few years ago, sitting at a waterfront cafe in Trieste, doing what I do best.

 

Allegedly, of course.

[helicopterjim R.I.P.]

Mine is the tatto on my right shoulder. It goes with my username becasue I have been flying helicopters for 22 years and my favourite aircraft to fly is the Bell 214B which is the ultimate development of the Huey which is what the tattoo represents. The tatto design was borrowed from the Miss Saigon advertisement.

 

My username is helicopterjim because my nieces and nephews have been calling me that since I started flying and now my (step) grandchildren are calling me that as well. I am comfortable with it because it is me!

 

I may change my avatar when I get my next tattoo which is of a Centaur which represents my astrological sign and one of the Guzzi's I ride.

 

Cheers

Jim

I came across this somewhere and while it is not a LeMans, it is a swarthy looking Italian guy on a MG, kinda like me.

[Guest bshpilot]

you really had to ask ???

[Daniel Kalal]

strictly, this doesn't belong in the V11 forum (being only 992cc)

[DeBenGuzzi]

I've almost been in a few accidents looking at beautiful women. I drive a lot daily for a living.

My name is not very exciting De Ben Guzzi well De is DeMolay a masonic fraternity I was in and still help out with when I can for young men, Ben is my name and Guzzi is my Dog and my bike

Ben is too short and I don't have any nicknames to speak of, nothing that is G rated thats for sure, or even PG13

I originally thought about changing my Avatar now and again but I didn't have enough good ideas and found it to be too much work all together.

I use this on any other forum I talk on, but here it would just be too much.

Martin can you see over that tank bag?

Martin can you see over that tank bag?

 

Just about see the top of the gauges - 60-100mph

at a stretch the fuel light and a peep around the side if need to check in 30 & 40 limits.

It breaks down into two smaller bags and only normally use a single bag for day trips.

The worse problem is that the engine kill switch can just brush against the bag on full lock if the bag shifts slightly forward. I dropped her on a ferry doing a feet up s turn because of this on the way to Ireland last year

My bike, and I like the picture. Luhbo, that's my italian nick name I once got from my Laverda buddies, pronounced in our local dialect.

I think it has been mentioned before but that's a great photo.

[guzziownr]

It's an '80s band I like and it's got Dinosaurs on the cover. Guzziownr is a useful tag in other places, bit silly here. Alternate avatar looks like this:
