Nice paint job!

It is funny to meet this picture from time to time. A few years ago I saw the picture, but only in a black and white version like this:

Laverda-1971-750SF-Pinup.jpg


During a lunch break, I worked on it for relaxation in Photoshop and colored it as an exercise. I had no idea of the real colors. However, I also made a small mistake. Red and green are swapped in the tank badge. I did post it in a forum then. Only later did I find photos on which the real colors can be seen.

When I was in my teens we visited an elderly aunt and uncle and were walking around town. They were very religious, you know, no drinking, smoking, dancing on Sundays, that type of thing!!
Anyway a pretty lady walks past and the old fella's gaze followed her longingly. His wife made some remark and he turned to me, winked and said if you can't look you might as well be dead!
If someone wants to combine an example of mechanical beauty with some natural curves in one photo who am I to argue ;)

My wife sez one of two comments about this: I can look all I want just don't touch. OR I can look at the menu as long as I eat at home.

Well I love your Uncle. And have two comments on the matter and I don’t care if it comes from men or women (but I do think women are just better browsers than men). We all love eye candy but who the hell needs to try every lollipop in the shop? Besides why is it ok for artists to make beautiful things and isn’t it ok to simply acknowledge its a beautiful thing 🧐
Secondly, re relationship and I know I get shot down for this one but - if you’re in a relationship you make a decision every day to return to “that relationship” by simply opening the door when you return to it or, if not you’re returning to it blindly then hell you may as well have someone else in the drivers seat of your life. - my thoughts on love and life 🥳

That's why I never got married. I couldn't in good conscience commit to the "until death us do part" bit. It's a completely unreasonable expectation. Who knows where the relationship will lead in 5, 10 or 20 years? Maybe some folks will accuse me of being afraid of commitment. Well yeah, I'd agree. Anyone with any sense should be. How many marriages end up in a horrible acrimonious legal mess?

I had several long term partnerships (civil marriages?) But when we eventually went our separate ways it was always amicable. No lawyers were ever troubled by our financial or property divisions. I'm still friends with my ex's and would do anything for any of them. My most recent ex partner (who I lived with for 20 years) now lives about 5 mins away and we help each other out regularly. We have quite different skill sets so between us we can cover most problems that crop up. We just can't live together without driving each other nuts.

That sounds like a very mature sensible attitude, good for you. Me I've done legal three times the first two were almost identical mistakes (why didn't I learn?) current one is much much better. But I do understand your thoughts on "Till death..." Who the heck KNOWS what is going to happen in X amount of time and how your partner of you will respond or change. Kinda ties in with "Love is blind".

Marriage is a sort of work contract.

Marriage is a historical contract that gave women a roof over their heads by virtue of male ownership and males gain proof of direct lineage for their offspring the contract had zilch to do with “love” - just saying! And I’m not an anti-romanticist I’m just a pragmatist.
