In no particular order, photographs of people, bikes and places. Click to get the bigger picture:

	Counter-steering, this time more 'Dexion' than 'Ixion'. Anyone want to make me a pannier-sized version?
	The Daytona Battle of the Twins winning Quantel Cosworth (ex-Norton Challenge), with mechanic and all-round genius Gary Flood.
	LA? The Big Apple? No, Aldershot in Hampshire, for a BMF Region 6 toy run in aid of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
	Le Tour, dans Southsea Sur Mer. Avez-vouz un BMW?
	A youthful Palmer, caught trying to steal a Met. Police Norton Interpol 2 rotary from Hendon.
	"Head and eyes UP!" (Got to start 'em young, y'know)
	Palmer senior on Palmer very senior's BSA, C. 1960.
	The day RiDE magazine came along to play. In the photo, from the left, Journo' Damon I'Anson, Stephen Bennett (ex-Blue Riband trainee, now independent instructor), Jo Marshall (real person), Stuart Mitchell (from 'Rapid'). What are they doing? It's called 'armchair exercises' by the MSF, and is a budget version of simulator training.
	Brian & Ted at the 1997 BMF Make-A-Wish toy run. Ted's note says: "Ready Teddy Go", Brian's grin says: "I like this new BMW Cruiser."
	Keeping with the 'toys on bikes' theme, this is Sooty hitching a ride on the back of a Police bike, just before he emigrated to Australia (true!).
	Al is waving 'goodbye', his last day at work before emigrating.
	Ever wondered why you're not a GP star, race-ace, riding god? Have a read of the text on this picture. It was in MCN years ago ("GP new boy" indeed!), and if anyone knows who the photographer was I'll happily ask for permission to use it here.
	Ian Maynard, ex-Chief Instructor of NHMTS Basingstoke, demonstrating full mastery of an 80's superbike.
	In the background, an aircraft being reversed into the hanger, for painting. Luckily, they put the canopy down in time!
	So, how many instructors does it take to change a light bulb, if it takes six and a bystander to mend a puncture? (Steve Hourigan, Santos Calderon, Alan Wright [kneeling], Jon Shipp [kneeling], bystander standing, Garth Leonard [leaning], Nick Morris)
	Nothing to do with biking, just a nice picture . . .
