Commitment.
Things just land on our desk in the V-Bunker. This is one of them. Not really knowing what to do with it, it seemed best to share it with our fellow Velominati. @del loves his cycling and @del gets “misty”. Though I don’t know what that means I hope I never get that misty. I’d have to get highly misty to end up with my first tattoo, beside the greasy chainring tattoo I rarely put on my right calf.
VLVV, Gianni
After a great ride out I conform to the Rules to the best of my ability, however on this one occasion I appear to have misinterpreted these Rules slightly. What should of been Rule #93 seems to have joined forces with Rule #47 resulting in me not conforming to Rule #52. As you can imagine things started to get a little misty, I have always wanted some more ink (tattoo for those not down with the kids) and I have always struggled with what to have done. I didn’t want the normal stuff you see, I wanted it to be bike related.
It was during the misty moment that I had my flash of inspiration. The Rules book caught my eye. That cool orange glow got me. I wanted the V and the cog on my leg. However I wanted to take it one rotation further, so the following day I knew I had to follow Rule #81. I went to my fellow cyclist who also happens to be a tattoo artist and set him this challenge. I explained that my legs were my machines for cycling and that I wanted the V and the orange cog incorporated into the design.
After six hours of me repeating Rule #5 to myself in my head I was done, All I need to say is Rule #72.

JohnB, awesome dog, great photo!
My velodoggies get two walks a day, plus they now have a dog door and a 1 acre back yard (we live in the city, so that is a pretty nice yard!). If I can't fit in a proper walk, I run them around the block by bike, two laps. Tires them out. As much as I love riding, and as much as I'm going to get bashed for admitting...a long walk in the woods with the VMH and doggies is pretty darn fun and I might even give up a ride for it.
Frank - oh yeah, pit mixes are great dogs. Ours just happened to have prey drive. Sadly, where I live most are used as intimidators and the people are either a) happy to have them aggressive b) provoke them into being aggressive.

{ I think } I was moderated today
Goodbye
Goodbye all you people
There's nothing more to say
No need to change
My mind
Goodbye.
@frank
Neither. I just have a sweet tattoo and a stubbly beard to match one of my idols.
@universo
You were not moderated to my feverish recollection, my friend....
@frank
But does Sly have a tattoo yet? When I took my cat in for his I thought I'd get to choose something more exciting than a number...
@frank
You mean a pig stuck in an Aussie?

This conversation is going to dark, dark places...
@davidlhill
Just to say I'm not ignoring your question and happy to answer. I've just been travelling and at a conference so haven't had time.
I'll send you a PM as soon as I have a chance.
@JohnB
Is that a vizsla? Great dogs for sure! Best dog I ever had was a one-eyed vizsla when I was a teenager. That dog hardly ever left my side. Slept outside my bedroom door every night. I've been sad to lose pets before, but never so much as when we lost that one.
