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.

no problem - I realise my question is a tad personal so thanks for taking the time.
Cheers,

I'm not sure, but the one on the left is the spitting image of @brett.

Yep, a 9 month old Vizsla dog, my first one, hoping to get a 2nd when he's a year old. The breed has been likened by the vet to a Weimaraner on speed but as you know intelligent, loyal and constantly by your side. An awesome companion.
@JohnB
Lotsa comments. Lotsa piss taken and given. Don't know if I was the first to be a dick, but I was the first to say DICK.
Love tats, would ride with anyone mit or sans. Certainly not my test for riding mit. I merely commented on said content of said tat as I thought and think it was rather, um, poor. Your opinion, my opinion. Used my name, so there. If you like it cool, but I'm COMMENTING, and shamelessly. If yer thin-skinned, that's okay. Feel free to make comments about me when I put myself out there for you to comment on and I won't mind because I HTFU many moons ago. Jeez, cain't we all just not get along? Or, in the immortal words of William Hurt's character in The Big Chill, "I'm just trying to keep the conversation lively!"
Any dogs with tattoos ??
On Rule #65 and dogs: when the bearings start to go, the noise is too high pitched for humans to hear but it's like a dog whistle so if you're being chased by dogs it's a warning sign to have a look at your bearings!

We're going to the shelter tomorrow to look for a possible companion for our dog, Cooper (a rescue Jack Russell/Beagle mix). He lost his best friend/big sister, Zoe, this summer (a rescue Husky/Weimaranar/Beagle/??? mix) when she suddenly and unexpectedly got really sick. We ended up having to put Zoe down to put her out of her suffering. Turns out she was bleeding internally and our vet thinks she was somehow poisoned. :-( Most of the dos at the shelter are some sort of pit bull-like mix. If one of them gets along well with Cooper (he gets along well with everyone), we may have ourselves a new member of the family. No tattoos though. :-)
