Wow. Spot on, Trog.


I searched for hours to find a pic that included a cigarette - kind of a signature (my cigarettes and coffee tend to be in all my real pics) - and conveyed my personality. This one hit the nail on the head and had the benefit of a certain androgynous quality that also represents me. I think I will stick with it for quite some time.
 
Trumpybloke... as in an aficionado of Triumph motorcycles, the real ones built in Coventry UK. ( and not as many UK vapers here will assume to mean " Bloke what farts a lot !!!" although that may well be the case)
My avatar is my 1928 Model N De luxe Triumph , it represents a lifelong search for just the right bike, for over 20 years I craved for just the right 1910-1930 Triumph, there is just something special about riding a bike that pioneered the way for everything modern that we take for granted today. I also have a 1948 All Alloy factory special Triumph Tiger 100 that got me thru the waiting.
After years of poking around in old sheds, looking at "restored " examples that were either not right , overdone, or overpriced, the fateful phone-call came
" Maaaaaate I think I might have something for you , 3 owners , traceable back to the original buyer, completely unmolested, the only thing on it not from the factory originally are the tyres... I will send you some photos yeah? "
And thus it came to pass, I am not an ....-retentive bloke in any way, I just wanted something "real" and Tessie as she is affectionately known is just that , complete right down to the original toolkit, tyrepump, and sparkplugs, exactly as she was made 81 years ago. She is one of 3 original unrestored examples in the world , and there are only 60 or so left intact worldwide including those restored and cobbled together from parts found here and there. Sorry for boring you , but for me she is an example of holding onto a dream, that if you have goals in life, it might take decades, but then goals should never be easy, you appreciate them so much more. She will never be restored, and yes she is ridden , still rides true and strong, puts a smile on the dial every time.
A lot of the time you can give up on a dream , you can get tired, you can settle, but out of the blue you find something within your grasp, you should grab it and hang on , it might be a hell of a ride !!!
I am lucky to have found a few things that are special , Tessie is one of them , my partner is another, I am a lucky fella !

Yeah, this clown's job is to keep the people in line for the Freakling Bros. Circus Of Horrors Haunted House entertained, set up the mood/excitement for the experience they will have inside, and to frighten as many people as he can and make them truely dread the fact they actualy PAID to have this done to them all.... HOWEVER...

This clown's PERSONAL agenda is to get paid for SUPPOSEDLY doing the above mentioned, while actualy scouting out his next victim(s) in his nation wide serial killing spree. He hopes to make the record books for the most kills in a life time. To this date Scorch the Clown has approximately 234 confirmed kills.*








*Explination: This is the story line for Scorch the Clown. The entire Haunted House has a story to it that follows it through out. A "kill" is when one of us actors actualy scares a person so bad they fall to the ground (regular kill), wet themself ("wet kill"), soil themself (mud kill), etc. Last year they ahd to stop counting mine after the first 2 weeks of shows. It became to difficult to keep track of. I got a "wet kill" our first night, and one night I killed the same woman 10 times! She had paid to go in, but by the time I got done with her she couldn't even go in because she was so terrified. She would go to the ground crying in the fetal possition and I would then leave. Then when she got back up and rejoined her friends I would come up and get her again. It's funny because everyone in line was laughing and loving it, because it wasn't happening to them. It was extra funny because her husband was laughing his .... off at it and one of our other actors got him from behind and he litteraly jumpoed out of his shoes and took off running and swearing. BEST JOB IN THE WORLD!

I really enjoy reading people's avatar stories.

Mine is Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, I love movies and I think this is one of the most memorable smoking scenes ever: "What are you gonna do? Arrest me for smoking?". My original avatar was Star Wars Ep. 2, Obi-Wan in the bar using the Jedi mind trick on the dealer: "You don't want to sell me death sticks". Love that one too.
