Ugly Melon...
11/04/20 3:27 AM

Well fellow forum members, while I am definitely not one of the originals here with thousands of posts, I have been around for a little while now.
I will still always try and post with any 14 assistance if I feel like I can help, but it seems the Off Topic section now seems to get most of my attention.

I have always been a pretty private person, and hence you haven't seen too many pic's of me if any here.
Don't really know why.
Just never posted them.

But with all the dribble I write on this forum, I thought it was time to put a face to the words so you guys know who you are dealing with when I go off on any of my many tangents.

Who knows?
Maybe Hub, Mad, Green, and the likes will follow.
(Seen you Rook and Nasty but doesn't rule you out from adding more).

Anyone is welcome.

(Go on Hub, I dare you...)

Geez Yannih,. You're way too pretty.
I, on the other hand, look like a cross between Incabod Crane and the
Crypt Keeper.
Here's some pictures for proof. All I can say is thank Dog my wife's eyesight is horrible.

Fair and accurate call lytnin.
Hence the title of this thread.

But for real credibility add your own dial here!

Yannih I am a short fat 65 year old that when all the black leathers. black gloves and black full face go on I look like a short real fat tick. It is not a pretty sight. My bike looks good but not with me on it.

Hey lytnin, don't worry about it.

We can't all have Mad's rugged good looks. (how happy is he with his beer!)
Or Nasty's physique for that matter.

You ride a 14!
That will even make me look good...

HB, Nasty. That's a discipline I wish I had. I'm looking at 16 crashes and one took out my back, another took out the foot. Can't lift, can't take long walks/run. I can swim, but the pools are closed. Once 6-2, now 5-11. Sleeps on a zero gravity chair, and there is always someone worse off than myself. Looks like I'm favoring the broken foot...

Then they ask how many times I've been struck there.

Yeah. I got that shirt on the day I discovered the ZX14. I had gone to check out the Ninja 1000.
Was underwhelmed by it. It had no personality. I was waiting to ride the Concourse, then noticed that the ZX14 was sitting there. Wife and I took that one and I immediately knew that was my next bike. 3 months later I had one.

Cool car, great dog (I do love dogs) and nice kingy Crude!

I did a fair bit of game fishing in my time with my Dad on our boat when he was alive.
Really enjoyed it until I took my first Black Marlin.
I begged my father to tag and release it but we were in a tournament fishing in a Team and so he said it wasn't up for consideration.
Killing that magnificent creature for so called fun shattered me.
I have never been out since.

I know that I will be called a pussy for this point of view but it is what it is...

I would let Marlin go too but some I have hooked sounded and they end up feeding the locals. I usually only keep the Tuna, Yellowtail, Dorado and Wahoo.

I really like the 84 Cab, it just seems like a perfect sportscar to me. Others have stepped up in performance and now a few friends have GT3 RS and Turbo S but I keep up with then unless there is a long section of freeway and then their gone gone

I went duck hunting with a friend once. I guess I just don't like killing. I stick to fishing with flies or barbless lures for trout and bass.
It does get interesting when I fish with my wife. She's a meat person. I caught a 4 lb Black Bass and we almost had a fistfight over that fish. It got away when I "accidentally" dropped it overboard while getting the stringer ready.

I hunt and fish quite a bit. Usually take two deer and two wild boar home/yr for the freezer.

Fishing is more of a catch and release thing for me but I’ll usually bring home one or two to cook up for the family. Shark, redfish,speckled trout, flounder, largemouth bass, catfish, crappie, and stingray are all on the menu depending on the time of year.
