Bloody hell, some bugger's stolen my bike again.
This is loosely inspired by the following three things: Luka Bloom's song "Acoustic Motorbike", The Manic Street Preachers song "Motorcycle Emptiness" and Kane Arlow's (@karlow75) shot "Abandoned Tricycles" from earlier this week...a truly bizarre mix of inspiration I know, but I can't help the lengthy and somewhat tenuous connections that my mind insists on making.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
@vignouse Thank you kindly - all I had to edit out was the very small stool that I'm sitting on, the rest is the magic of light room :) @pamknowler Thank you kindly :) @juliedduncan I might go out cruising the streets like this...
@jsw0109 Thank you kindly :) @divast8er Thanks very much...precariously balanced would be a more accurate way of putting it... @peter_1966 Thanks very much - I got that impression when I suddenly stopped moving ;)
@blueberry1222 Sometimes I'm not so sure myself...but I get most of my "ideas" when I'm out walking the dogs with the iPod plugged in...maybe I should listen to "normal" music...
@kevin365 Thank you very much indeed :) @juliedduncan Hmmm...let me see...no ;) @nanderson It's very quiet, but then I keep it well tuned @bigugly Thank you kindly :)
@gigiflower I used to have a bike...and I somehow don't think that this particular bike with ever go fast enough to justify a helmet. I can imagine you on a bike though...
This is an awesome shot. I hope you find your bike soon :). Very happy to be part of the inspiration too. And There is a shot waiting to happen, Sam @gigiflower and Mr Sam burning down the road in their leathers, your welcome for that idea Sam ;)
@maggiemae I have heard of air guitars...and it's funny you should that...all will be revealed soon @karlow75 Thank you very much indeed - and that shot for @gigiflower is a must!
This is nicely done... floating along on nothing but air. You look like Peter Fonda in "Easy Rider!" Looking forward to the "all will be revealed soon" part. :)
@rosiekerr Thanks very much - not "all" will be revealed...just the air guitar part ;) @trinda Thank you so much :) @rachelwithey Awesome song, and thank you very much @dibzgreasley I sometimes feel that way.... @dide Thank you very much :) @pixelchix Pleased to be of assistance :)
@karlow75@graemestevens I might be talented but hey it's illegal to take a selfie when riding! So I will have to get you Mr Kane Arlow to take a photo of my husband and I doing 100kms in an 80kms zone......hehehehe
@denisefuller Thank you very much :) @tonygig Thank you kindly :) @cocobella Thank you very much indeed @hermann Thanks very much :) @brigette I wouldn't go that far but thank you very much @pinkpaintpot Thank you very much :) @aikiuser I don't think I need to hang on, I have a feeling it won't go very fast... @sioux Thanks very much :) @spanner Thanks very much :) @newbank How else would I do it...I know I have strange powers but unfortunately levitation isn't one of them ;) @gigiflower@annied No, Mr. S does not want to know. Ever. @888rachel Thank you very much :) @voiceprintz Thank you very much :)
Oh, this almost takes me back to the 60s (giving a little of my age away!) you're probably not asking why, but I'll tell you anyway! One of my sister's @kelly2 was dating a young man who raced motorbikes and he took me out on his bike. It was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life as we travelled at speeds of over 100m.p.h. It was great. Just make sure you're not going so fast if they steal your bike again!
@kt8ird Thanks very much :) @northy Thank you...I am a bit shiny in this one... ;) @ukandie1 Thank you very much :) @annied I'm quite fond of beating around the bush as well
@graemestevens@annied Deny? Deny? I don't think so. I'm so clever I know everything so I don't need to deny. I do like plumbing though. Undiscovered wells of plumbing. And as for a bush......where do you want me to start? I'm very fond of the bush.
@annied@annied Ms Annie, please don't use "Lord" and "apologise" in the same sentence. It doesn't make sense. Oh and please use a CAPITAL L when referring to Lord........otherwise I will kill you. Mr Stevens, I'm in a VERY dangerous mood after posting SEXY mating butterflies.....so go right ahead. Let's start with the bush.
@tellefella It was indeed, and thank you @gigiflower@annied I have enough knives in my back already not to have to worry about more. There no more room.
Love this....you have mastered the negative space! I cannot decide if you just successfully positioned yourself to look like you are riding a motorcycle, or if you were indeed on one for the photo and extracted yourself out of it in PS.....great shot, either way, and a FAV!
