ANIMAL! Oh man, I am a big fan of that helmet! Saw one like it a few years back, also home-made and wish I had the talent to make one. Nice job.
I agree with Mi Lord, that's awesome!

... just missing the drum kit.
For the November challenge, it's your bike in the frame with someplace or something that has seen better days. Ideally, it'd come with a story too (but doesn't have to). For example, this place was a local bar just a few miles up the street up until 2011. The story is that it somehow was associated with a couple of murders. Then it sold to some younger couple who had plans to renovate it. There was a building permit issue, and it's been falling apart ever since. Too bad because it was a popular joint for the old-time locals that have been here long before suburbia encroached.
Cool topic tommymck. Should generate some interesting pics and stories.
I like the theme Tommy, and your snap.
A bit more than a photo-opt. Some background story sleuthing always seems to make the picture feel richer.

So basically a photo of me next to my bike?
Great idea! I am with pdedse on this one: I turn 81 this month and it may be hard to find anything around here that has seen better days more than I, but I will give it my best.

Nice! That costume really brings out the Animal in you...
I have a big Santa head that goes over a helmet, but never tried it on my commute, for fear that it would blow off. How's the Animal head at speed?

Oh man, this one's gonna be easy. I work in a really rundown part of town.
