Here's a shot of me and the brick on my first morning camping, after buying the bike in Ottawa. 7 days later, I arrived on Vancouver Island, just 1 1/2 hours from home.

OK, here's my photo. Don't throw any bricks at me, but that is an H-D I rented last year in Salt Lake and is the only pic I have of me and a bike. Took a 3 day ride from Salt Lake down through 3 N.P.s- Capitol Reef, Bryce and Zion. Nice ride
Here's what I'm riding now. I checked out the photos of the earlier HM get together and am hoping to get up there for the next one, but wont know until about a month or so prior. Looks like a fun group.

I'll say it again - that is a very sharp looking bike!
If it looks like you might be able to make it to HM, let me know. I think a few others will likely opt in next year sometime. _________________ Jim

No this is not me thank christ, its Francis Edwin Birtles, he was an Australian motoring adventurer back in the early 1900's, I'm a bit of a fan!
This is me with my 1981 R100rs a few years back, bloody good old bike it was, reliable as ever!!
Plus me and my gorgeous wife of 15 years, missing from pic are our 2 kids, dog, cat, budgie and every other standard issue Aussie household pet..
This is my latest project 1993 K1100LT - 152,000kms purchased 22nd March 2013

Birtles was quite incredible. There's a newish book out about him and someone recently recreate some of his trips across OZ. An awesome bit of our history!
BTW looks like I need to get some pets, we only have cockroaches, rats and snakes here. Here's one that was on the door a few weeks ago, complete with a rat as luggage....
