| Last Month (June-2010)
This Month, ....July Research on the Sunbeam S7 & S8's now done. Looks lke I got
them wrong way round last time I took piccies of one. Thanx to the lads
& lass' at classicglory.com/
. Just as well I double checked things, someone told me they were S4 &
5's and I nearly beleived him. S8's have the skinny front wheel. 3
new Sunbeam pages built today
M.
V. Augusta Turismo Lusso photo's published
In the last days, I've put about half of my photo's from Cassington (there are a few more to come, if I find the time) I've added a few more in the A-2-Z and today I've added another from the H cafe that I took on Saturday. Si
O.K. I've been busy.
Downloading the photo's from West Hagbourne, about 300 usable
photo's (about 30 bikes), I'll be starting on those in the next few days
(don't know if I'll make Calne, but wants to).
First 5 from West
Hagbourne.
Thought the pain was bad yesterday, so stayed in bed trying to
rest while putting the West Hagbourne pages together. I also thought the
pain would ease a bit for today. I thought wrong. Today, pulling out teeth
with pliers would be just a distraction. Can't even concentrate enough
to watch a movie.
Been bit a bit better last coupleof days, not able to get on the bike,
or make that bracketyet, but nevermind, you got another 6 from West
Hagbourne (and two on the Moto
Guzzi pages).
3 Custom bikes and two WWII bikes now on the West
Hagbourne pages.... A few more bikes to do yet.
One new trike from West
Hagbourne. Another new Ducati on my ducati
page (and I fixed the missing piccies of the missing Elite). &
Photo's of the unfinished 1962 Ducati 250 Narrowcase racer.
I know I have not got as many models covered than some other sites, but
the ones I have covered, I did a better job. That's because I only use
my own photo's. making the dogdragon pages (with a rare exception when
it came to 1955 Wooler
photo's & info).

and I'm still riding the Honda VTR1000 Firestorm
I got to check the site using a 54" screen. I like what I saw.

This goes out for ALL the brothers & sisters we have lost
I saw you,
hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store
line.
But, you didn't see me,
put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate last
Sunday.
I saw you,
pull your child closer when we passed each other
on the sidewalk.
But, you didn't see me,
playing Santa at the local mall.
I saw you,
change your mind about going into the restaurant.
>But, you didn't see me,
when I took time off from work to run toys to
the homeless.
I saw you,
stare at my long hair.
But, you didn't see me,
and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of
Love.
I saw you,
roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves.
But, you didn't see me,
and my brothers donate our old coats and gloves
to those that had
none.
I saw you,
look in fright at my tattoos.
But, you didn't see me,
cry as my children were born and have their names
written over and
in my
heart.
I saw you,
change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere.
But, you didn't see me,
going home to be with my family.
I saw you,
complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can
be.
But, you didn't see me,
when you were changing the CD and drifted into
my lane.
I saw you,
yelling at your kids in the car.
But, you didn't see me,
pat my child's hands, knowing he was safe behind
me.
I saw you,
reading the newspaper or map as you drove down
the road.
But, you didn't see me,
squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take
the next turn.
I saw you,
race down the road in the rain.
But, you didn't see me,
get soaked to the skin so my son could have the
car to go on his
date.
I saw you,
run the yellow light just to save a few minutes
of time.
But, you didn't see me,
trying to turn right.
I saw you,
cut me off because you needed to be in the lane
I was in.
But, you didn't see me,
leave the road.
I saw you,
waiting impatiently for my friends to pass.
But, you didn't see me.
I wasn't there.
I saw you,
go home to your family.
But, you didn't see me.
Because, I died that day you cut me off.
I was just a biker,.....
A person with friends and a family.
But, you didn't see me.
