Looking for Mr Perfect?


It's been a bit quiet. I've been in Macau.

Anyway look at this hero. He is so perfect I want him framed. Now, we like DTX bikes, but the kid in the background offers the ideal juxtaposition, what with his lairy ONeal gear (you paid how much to advertise for those guys?), neck brace and Stormtrooper boots. Mr Handshift has got lace-up rigger boots; goggles and lid, circa 1970, revealing a Judge Dredd facial set. Even his rubber-trimmed gloves are period.

And we're pretty sure that is Chopper Dave behind him. Dave, what's the story with this guy? GI

Fucking brilliant. Love the fact he's got a pillion pad, or is that for sliding back onto on the straights?

funny thing is that the kid in the background is probably making fun of his lineman boots-I remember as a kid hanging out at Irwind- with my pops and his buddy getting ready for? I don't know what they did with that car but some kid laughed at my dads shirt cuz it had John Deer on it and my dads bud asked the kid to help him out and he got the kid into the passenger seat and took off for a pants shittin ride. I laughed so hard.dont ake fun of the old guys.
