As Bob lives in the exotic and frozen land of British Columbia, Canada, and to make mailing easier since the shirt started life in the USA anyway, he passed the shirt off to Brad at Troubadour on a Tiger blog for mailing to me. In due course the shirt arrived and now graces my manly and newly svelte physique. No, you can't see a picture of me naked but I have lost weight.
One of the very best parts of blogging is the people we connect with through the blogs. I hope one day I get a chance to meet Bob and Brad in person.
Thank you Bob and Brad. You guys are the best.

No thanks necessary, it was all Bob. I simply sent it on its way to you... that and stopping Bob from turning your t-shirt into one of his famous tank tops. ;)

Dear Douglas,
I'm quite sure you didn't need to lose weight as you seem to have a very manly figure. Not that I am an expert in such matters.
But my eye was drawn to the photo behind the T-shirt - is that you on the scrambler? And the engine from which the shirt is hung; would it be a Harley 'Hummer' engine perchance? At first I thought it must be the venerable Villiers but then I realised that not only is the exhaust port on the wrong side, but so too is the kick-starter - a left hand kick-start lever is not so common and I could only think of the Hummer or, perhaps, Bultaco? Do tell.
Brad & Bob I'm glad the t-shirt didn't show up turned in a tank top, that's not my style at all as to show so much of my manly frame might cause the ladies to swoon. Anyway, I'm just glad Bob sent a t-shirt and not sandals as my one pair is doing fine but the t-shirt collect continues to slide.
Ms. Camilla, As always your comments bring grace to my humble blog. Your keen eye for all things motorcycle was nearly right on. The engine is not a Harley "Hummer" but in fact is a 100cc Bultaco motor from my 1970 Sherpa S. Yes, that rakish fellow in the old photo is yours truly back in the day when I was young, skinny, and had all my hair. I was astride my very first racing bike, a Bultaco Sherpa S 100cc. I was fast in those days, so very fast -- but few, most especially the dozen or so riders who always finished ahead of me, realized it.
