Before Selfies were cool

Selfies seem to be all the rage these last couple of years. Looks like my brother was a trend setter back in the day as this selfie is back in about 98-99 and also whilst we are riding along a twisty road somewhere between Boolarra and Mirboo North in Victoria on our way to the motogp. Good shot bro.

As you can tell I was very colour co-ordinated back in my younger days. Blue helmet, red suit, green bike and white boots. What was I thinking, or more likely what wasn't I thinking.

  1. Selfies are cool?

    Good to know you were cool, before being cool was cool.

    You may not have been color coordinated but at least people can't say they didn't see you.

    1. Hahaha your funny, I don't think anyone has ever said I was cool before.Thanks.
      With those colours coming your way it would be hard to miss.

  2. Yep, that was a clever move on my part. One of the few photos that we ever took.

    1. I'm sure you were just putting my idea into practise.
      Your right, after about 15 years of riding I only had about 20-30 photos in total. I take at least that many every ride now.

    1. I have always been pro ATGATT, one of the things my brother instilled into me when I first started riding, as well as the advanced riding courses that I did.

    1. Well I did wear those leathers but I had an orange bike, so I didn't stand out like on the Kwaka.

  5. Steve:

    Seems like you had every colour on except PINK, or pehaps they were under your ATGATT

    at least we have evidence . . . of your lack of colour co-ordination. Who would have thought that this innocent photo, taken 15 years ago would be posted for the world to see

    1. Well Bob I won't disappoint you, those boots were white, Pink and Blue if you look closely you can see the pink above the gearshift lever protectors. Yes very unco in the colour department.
