First Photo:  Dick Smith, one time President of the CC Riders motorcycle club in my town. This was a club, rather than "gang," and was generally involved with positive community activities. Still, when people saw 30 of them coming along the street, they tended to feel a bit intimidated. I photographed him years ago in front of his motorcycle repair shop along with the three most important things in his life; his bike, his woman and his dog.

M6/28mm Elmarit/Tri-X

Second Photo: Same person photographed a few years earlier as he participated in a fanciful downtown parade

M6/Tri-X (don't recall lens but possibly a 75mm Summilux)

These are great. I particularly like the second portrait. Any chance you could do a follow up, contemporary shot?

Thank you. I'd love to but he has relocated to a small town a couple of hours away. If he was still here it would definitely be fun to do.

Yes, the rare photogenic character.  :-)

No. I had a small Perilla 125cc while in high school but that was the extent of my biker days. I do have a nice 18 speed road bicycle, however.

The second photo is a stunner!!!
