Very cool pics. As someone else mentioned, it looks like you've led and still lead an interesting life. Your off-road pics are always interesting too. The Triumph (Triumph Trophy Trail?) brought back some cool memories for me. One was walking in a wooded area close to Raccoon lake dam with my Dad as a kid. It appeared to be the area the dirt was excavated from to build the damn. Along came some dual/purpose riders, "one on a Trophy Trail I think" and did some hill climbing there as we watched. Made quite an impression on me, just as the hill climb in "Then Came Bronson" did. Within a few years, I was back there with a Suzuki 80 with dual rear sprockets trying the same hills. Without seeing those guys hill-climbing, and without my Dad's loan of $150 to buy the 80 I might have never started riding. I'm sure those guys are long gone just as Dad is but I still thank them and Dad for helping me find my time in the wind.  |

I always liked Brit bikes. Matchless, AJS, Nortons, BSA's. One of the ones that I really enjoyed riding was a Panther 600 single. Torquey and geared high. i rode one from Detroit to Ft. Wayne, I was only doing 45 mph. Mileage was 80mpg. Bonneys were great too. I'm trying to get up the dough for a new Triumph T100 or maybe the Scrambler. Post some more pics Paul.  |

Why not move up here Paul and do Dragon, Cherohala, Dog Wood Arts Festival, Event Photography
Graduations, Weddings, and the like etc.
Or Hell do it where you are at.
It might be an option you should explore.
You obviously have a knack for the job.

It's the people you have to deal with who are the pain in the butt. Do a job, don't get paid. Spend more time chasing the money than doing the work. |

Had to look up a little history of Sunbeam bikes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunbeam_%28motorcycle%29What is the reason for the numbers/letters on the front fenders of some of the bikes? License plates? |

European countries have them front and back on all vehicles. Motorcycle front plates were phased out as they were too good at slicing up people in the event of an accident. I've never understood why most US states don't have a front plate. Would make it easier to identify a vehicle. |
