Mr. Riepe (oh wise one): Now I know why you're smirking in pictures. I was confusing the smirk with the battered baby seal.

David Masse: Coffee cup? Not me. I am a confirmed tea drinker. Regardless, it was my favorite picture too. Something utterly simple about it.

Kathy: Dogs add a lot to life if a person is inclined towards them. I don't want to be without one.

Hope yours see improved health ahead!

bobskoot: All riders are dogs. I think I heard that somewhere.

Bryce: Junior is developing as a model. He certainly reacts to the camera. I've not really had him and the Vespa together very often. I'll have to think about that coupling.

Dar: Thanks for the kind words about the photos. I continue to enjoy making pictures of the things I see. Car drivers -- well, they are what they are. Just have to take them into account...

Charlie6 (Dom): I love those lines by Pirsig. It's probably time to pick that book up again.

It's hard to go wrong with Junior -- he's such a poser!

Steve, that coffee cup photo is stunning. Not that the others aren’t excellent photos. But that coffee cup photo has really beautiful lines and texture. Beautiful. That says it.

Dear Steve Williams:

Heading out on two wheels is to drink in the ride from the tap. Comparing a ride on a bike to a ride in the car is like comparing a draft beer to the draft of a bad speech.

Those who understand this flash the smirk. Those who don't are the object of it.

Nice pictures.

Fondest regards,
Jack/reep

Great one AGAIN! My dog Harry wins over my bike, too. He was just diagnosed with hip displaysia, so our 2-mile walks have been reduced to 2 blocks. But he allows me to escape often enough to get rides in most days.

Junior is a big suck IMO.
He even looks at every thing and then returns his gaze to you.

More pictures of him please, and maybe pose him beside the Vespa now and then.

Steve:

I used to go to flea markets (Swap meets), you are always looking about, scanning the tables for "bargains", looking around to see what others are looking at, then the wheeling and dealing, sniffing, smelling & caressing the antiques, exploring . . .

not unlike what a dog does in the normality of life

Was it Pirsig that said if you're a car driver, life unfolds before you as if you're watching a movie but if you ride a motorcycle/scooter, you're part of the movie?

Some outstanding pictures Steve, the first and last were the best of the group IMHO.

Thanks

Dom
