Take a look-see at "The Biggest secret ever kept at the Secret Spot" post above. In the exposed skin subcategory, I think it's a contender.

If everyone posted them here, then I can start a new thread and re-post the photos with a poll.

Hey guys, I think T is the winner for bringing this thread together, and posting some awesome photos to boot. Tonski send me an address so I can mail you out a decal.

Bammer, you as always step up big time... I owe you mucho beer.

Bettyboarder took some snaps of me as I wowed the natives at Sand Lake. Fun without gasoline, can't be!

LOL,,

I'd just like to point out that I see the pic titled "fo would not approve" and the last shot (of the four wheeler on two wheels) as being equivalent.

It's the very same mind set,,,

Right or wrong does not come in to play,,,It's about the mind set...

can you say juvenile?

I do not disapprove,,I just watch quietly waiting for the inevitable SPRAWL...

LOL,,

Regards
