Default That's Me!

When I login the first page I see is the one with daily stories/news, etc.

So just now I login and what do I see... A picture of me and my Ultra Limited on Mulholland Hwy as the cover photo for an article titled "How to Carve Corners on Your Harley Like a Boss". https://www.hdforums.com/articles/ca...ley-like-boss/

I gotta say I was quite surprised. I'd be interested in hearing how my photo was selected for the story and where the author(s) found it.

I'm guessing that shot was taken 4 or 5 years ago.

And just a little coincidence... I traded that bike in yesterday with 101,322 miles on the odometer for a new one with 5 miles on the odometer

That's a great photograph and one that fits the subject of the article perfectly. I enjoyed reading it, too. Congrats on the new scoot!

The 2nd picture is of me on my Road King up at the New York Safety Track last year.

Hmm, wonder where he pulled that picture of me from. I can make a pretty good guess, and it's speaks rather poorly of the authors journalistic integrity.

I used to belong to a forum and had some of my photos stolen and used as avatars on that site and elsewhere.
I complained to the administrators and they had the pics removed from where they could. I always felt kind of creeped out by it.

I've been around awhile but do not know the page the OP mentioned (OP: "When I login the first page I see is the one with daily stories/news, etc.") I looked, although apparently not well enough. Could someone please direct me to that page? Thanks

Most sites you go to these days have fine print that says if you post a photo there they have the right to do what they want with it. You agree to these terms when you use the site, but who ever reads an EULA?

This is me! Made it on Country Fried Home Video. They contacted me and I was paid $750 for them using my video. And I was runner up for Here's your sign award to some red neck getting married tradition of shaving his mother in laws legs.. yuk.
