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

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....

Yes, going on 29yrs now in my own small signshop here in Oz and although the computer has taken over the signage industry, I still do a lot of hand painted brush work on trucks with old school scrolling and pin-striping and gold leaf honour boards for sporting clubs etc, I really enjoy it. _________________ Cheers Grant

Cool.
I apprenticed 3 years before going out on my own.
I hand lettered signs for over 10 years when I ran my own shop.
I have only a few pics of my work left
I took the pics w/ a 35mm film camera and my portfilo photo book was destroyed a few years after I closed up shop.
At the point things switched over to vinyl I lost interest and couldn't compete with vinyl prices as a letterhead.
I went to nursing school and never looked back...
Well, that's not really true...
I stop dead in my tracks when I come across old letterhead work.
I take pictures of old hand letter signs.
I'll turn around and drive back a few miles just to gaze at old signs.
I like 'reading' the faded brush strokes.
These are all the pics I have left.
The last 8 are what I made for my own wedding, but the letters are vinyl.
