    That is an awesome picture. I was born a few years later, but my first bike picture will never see the light of the internet.

    Well, that's a come down. A comment from another was : ' Super pic mate, but what's a young Ryan O'Neil doing on your bike? Lol.' Of course I accept that as being a more reliable observation.

    As for my fashion sense, I was, at the time, streets ahead of the likes of @PauloHRC in that I colour-coded my riding wear to my bike. Now, of course it is very simple to maintain because charity shops have a plethora of styles from which I can choose!!:p

    I must confess I have a somewhat complicated 'Love Story (1970)'.

    I've had 3 Ali McGraws, but they all abandoned me due to 'Natural Causes (1994)'.

    Since then I've tried 'The Getaway (1972)' while trying to 'Survive the Savage Sea (1992').

    I later considered the 'Glam (1997)' of a fourth, and even said to her 'Just tell me What you Want (1980)' but in the end decided that staying single would be 'A Lovely Way to Die(1968')

    Fairly shameful to admit now that the only McGraw I have anything to do with is my overseas psychologist, Dr Phil McGraw:(.
