Motorbike Mavericks (continued)

Last week we spoke about the motorcycle enthusiasts among our classmates back in the 70s.

We've since learnt that such passions never really go away. In fact, the toys just get bigger, sexier and more powerful.

Here's our friend Sinos with his red Honda Hornet 900cc machine. I'm sure he has enjoyed great road adventures speeding around Cambodia ...

.
Looking real fierce, my friend !

I will add on to this posting when some of our other friends share their motorbike pictures. Stay tuned ...

Caption time again ...

Here's another picture from the past ....

The place is London, UK.  The year is either 1977 or 78.



What in the world were these five dashing young men from Borneo up to?

Anyway, here's another opportunity for you to suggest the best caption for this photo.

Update from Website Jaga (Sept 2009)

Dear friends,

Over the past three months, we've had a number of interesting & fun activities which have brought more members of our St Joe Form 5 (1976) cohort together.

Today I want to give you all another quick progress update on our "State of Connection", as well as share the recent visitor statistics. I will also highlight some new features of the blog., which I think many of you will find useful.

You may remember that in June, I told you that we had reached 37 individuals, which represents about 30%  of our three Form 5 classes combined. With help from all of you, we have advanced from there, as can be seen from the chart  below.

We're now at 50 individuals or 41% - on our way to the target of reaching 60% by year end, which I think is still achievable. So do continue to spread the word about this website, and show any others you are in touch with how to access it.
.
In terms of visitor numbers, we're hovering at over 105 visits a day for the past week. Around 50 are repeat visitors. The next chart illustrates the general trend.
.
.
We are also connecting many new friends - other Josephians, Teresians, Marians etc etc. We warmly welcome them and hope they will not be shy & put in some comments.
.
Next, I wanted to highlight a new feature of Blogger which allows the display of the most current comments made. Some of you have asked me if there's an easy way for you to know what are the latest comments, without having to trawl through many pages. Well, there is now! Just look on the right side of the blog, and scroll down a bit to find the list of new comments. You can also click on the comment to go to the posting it was for.
.
Lastly, I'd like to invite those who haven't done so to register themselves under the ROLL CALL posting. Just click here to get directly to that post (which was made in June).
.
Hope you continue to enjoy the blog & do keep it alive by sharing info or photos or thoughts you have.
.
Best wishes
--- JY aka WJ

More on the Rugby Boys of St Joe

Back in April & May, we posted some pictures and comments on the Rugby boys of St Joe. You can review them by clicking on the links below.

This morning, BC just sent me an interesting new photo of the team. I'll let him & others comment on when, where & on what occasion it was taken (if you still remember).

Here are the zooms ...



I'm sure you'll recognise many of our old friends, as well as the coaches.
