I wouldn't have believed the first pic for a mo'.
Your pic's great tho' seriously, you look a proper 'hippy biker' - 'hairy biker' even.
Now they're also cool imo! I do sort of resemble my avatar, an eccentric female, 51 yr old blonde. I was always referred to as a 'hippy' too as I'm veggie and used to wear really long skirts. 
I now go for the 'per una' at M&S look these days. quote:Originally posted by gma:

haha the first pic is "eddie" hes the mascot of the rock band "Iron maiden"
and the other one is about 4 years or so old... the beard is more grey now haha
Ive been a "biker" since I was 16, and am now...erm...56.....tomorrow!!!!AAARGH!!!
I was NEVER a "hippy" hehe, the name got chosen cause when I was trying to think of a "user name" (the same day in fact) a young female where I worked who didnt know my name, was trying to explain who she meant when talking about me to a friend of mine said..."oh you know him ,your friend the OLD HIPPY GUY made I larf it did, so I used that as my name on the fourm/s

I definitely won't be asking for a go of your bike as I can't imagine how you stay on those things!
My hubby makes parts (hand made for Harley's etc as his boss owns a loads of vintage/veteran/Harleys etc, he is known by the main manufacturers too if they can't replicate parts my hubby will!)I was never a 'hippy' either!
Plus people, including my hubby believe I like the colour purple? I don't, I like black/dusky pinks. As for my user name, I didn't think about it when joining, but everyone calls me 'Ger' or 'Geri'.
Roy wood and Michael Owen
