A dear friend and racing teammate recently passed away and I was looking thru some photo albums from the last couple of decades and came across this even older pic , thought some pf you might get a kick out of. Yeah, an original black&white!!! Has to be around '68. I'll give you *100* guesses on who is where in the pic. ;) ;)

A good bike mechanic only needs two tools, WD40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move, but should, use the WD40. If it does move but shouldn't use the duct tape.

Charlie T is #100, moving up fast but the extra weight of the ax is slowing him down a little.

Sorry you lost your friend.

HiCharlie, I'm sorry about your loss.





On a lighter note:
I had a friend at the C.S.I. run your photo throught
a very sophisticated computer picture-analysing-system.

Image

The result was
"...for the section of the photo shown above;
presence of WD40 and duct tape was beyond anything
ever found in any previous analyses..."

...so, no doubt: 45 is you.

Thanks for the condolences.

And we have a winner, Brant picked up on the clue....#100. Of course, octane's photo analysis is probably right, too. #45 probably had a lot more WD40 on board, making him slip thru the air much faster, and hence be in the lead.

For guessing correctly, Brant wins the opportunity to use a stunt double in the big final ax/chainsaw scene in the upcoming movie! anim-cheers1 a7

...slight problem ;
I didn't get the full test.

Image

you see; this part of the photo went completely off the scale,
so initially they couldn't get the system to write it out


That expains it.

Thank you, Thank you. Generally I do all my own stunts, but in this case a double will be acceptable.
