Whats the story behind your avatar then ?

Mine (as you might have guessed) is a cartoon depiction of myself.
I even have a "GEEK" T-shirt :oops: :lol:

.... quite rough looking...

As opposed to the very rough-looking that you are most days :wink:

My avatar is, like a few others on here, cropped from a piccy taken by Mr Toad on AR06.

The lovely lady on the back is Coolgirl and the Blue Cow in the window was added (by Law, I think?) in order to cheer-up The Mass after he sold his bike.

That's me in Devon last year. One of our surf trips that never seem to find any waves.

I'm really nervous around cameras (you can't trust them not to steal your soul) & always wet myself when anyone takes a picture so I only pose for them when I'm in the water.

Or...it may just be the only decent, digital picture of me.

Mine is a photo of me when I was about 2-3.
My Grandma has it on her sideboard. When I was getting married last year, I made the place settings and used this pic of me, and a pic on my now wife at a similar age. I just thought it was vaguely amusing to have a pic of me which to most people wasn't identifiable as me.

I took a pic of a seagull for no apparent reason when I was on holiday in Southwold last year. I added the flashing red eye to make it look a little more calculating and evil again for no apparent reason... My previous one was a pic of me with my nose stuck into a Mini Mac computer - don't ask!

Mine...

When I first came home with the now sold SV

My little daughter was watching CBeebies and in particular "Story Makers" and one of the characters in the stories they tell is "Blue Cow" who goes on lots of adventures.
My Daughter said at the time that the colour of my bike was the same as Blue Cow...hence...

Was tempted to change it, but so many peeps like it, it's now staying :wink:
