Cool pic Coasty.

^^+1

Good one coasty.

First time I've seen this thread and it's been up nearly a year! lol

Anyway, this is me now:


...and me about 13 years ago when I used to race MTBs, me in the black No. 2512. Just a road cyclist now.

That's a great picture and 'stache Coasty... you could have been cuttin the grass at Woodstock....
I had a beer can holder on my rider but then again it was my grass.

Hi Hank,
I went to summer camp, instead of Woodstock, but one of the guys in our troop was into shortwave radio and piped a lot of it in for us. I was the junior assistant scoutmaster that summer, and did consider going to Woodstock, but we had a huge troop, over 75 boys, and decided to hang with them to help the scoutmaster. Several buddies went, one of whom never returned. No one ever heard from him again, and it has always made me wonder both what happened to him and if I had gone would I be missing too. I'm kind of a hold over, in current appearance, but get a wild hair and cut it all short occasionally, usually in the middle of July. It's great to be able to just stick your head under a hose to cool off. That mower is too fast to drink much beer and operate unless you can stand the bouncing and quick turns. It is like a quarter horse in a barrel race, it'll turn right out from underneath you!

I assume you did not have the present look as an assistant scoutmaster, it might have clashed with the uniform.

My rider did kick up a lot of dirt and dust in the Summer so I usually got a mouthful of dirt with the last few gulps of beer.

Piper, you almost killed me there.

Been a while since I participated in one of these - that's me on the Hercules flying home from Kosovo. The patches are from Multinational Army Aviation Battalion Mercury and the Swiss Cougar (Helicopter) Air Transport Squadron.

That's me chilling out on the far right.

Is that your girlfriend on the left Fatty?
