I also love a Saab turbo.

Mine are pretty much empty, did have a STW calendar but that was last years! I do have a nice 3ft or 5ft tall space which I'd love to put a map of the UK and start pinning places I've ridden, so pics of big maps would be great!

The wall I spend all day looking at.

A picture I took during the annual motorcycle rally in Sturgis, South Dakota, USA, about 14 years ago. This won a competition in a national motorcycle magazine.

First wedding anniversary present from my wife. She read this poem to me when we got married in Las Vegas. 🙂

Bonus points for anyone who can name the poet without using Google.

I'm sure my mum looked at it while riding my dad too 🤣

Anyway, enough about my parents' sex life, arousing as it may be... to answer the OP:

Don't be silly. Who'd stick a poster over a mirror?

I'd imagine that, sometimes, they'd both be looking at it at the same time.

Behind my desk in the spare bedroom, partially obscured by my surfboard, and watching over my underemployed full-sus, a 1966 one-inch OS map of the Lakes:

[url= https://i.ibb.co/MZg2YFj/20200515-153642.jp g" target="_blank">https://i.ibb.co/MZg2YFj/20200515-153642.jp g"/> [/img][/url]

Only moved into this house in the autumn, so it's not decorated (hence the pink wall) and a bit of a dumping ground, but I had to have this map up somewhere because it's my favourite (and I like maps a lot) - shows the whole of the Lakes but with enough detail that you can see all the important paths, and the shaded relief shows the shapes of the hills nicely.

This has been sitting on my 'office' window sill following a recent loft clearout. Bought it from a school friend over 20 years ago, every now and then I think I really should sell it to someone who can give it some love.

Unfortunately as a teenager, I put it through a rather unsympathetic conversion and installed a motor, rudder and the RC gear, had a good few days bombing it up and down the local river! To be honest if it had stayed with my friend I think it would have been destroyed, he was a bit of a loose cannon back then!

Its scratch built and the hull is carved from a hulking lump of timber so its got plenty of weight to it. I've decided I either need to tart it up for display, or sell. I think I'm leaning towards keeping it. Definitely needs a more appropriate paint job!

A print of this.

Just before lockdown I’d stripped the place out before moving to Weymouth! So I’m stuck here with empty walls.
This is how the print looks.

I bit of a mess as I have had to 'loan' my second desk for the duration of WHF so everything is crammed onto one desk in the corner.

On the walls the racing car is by a friend while the rest are mine. If hang them up for a while so I can decide if I like them or not. If they are deemed okay they can either be sold or moved elsewhere to make way for the next batch.

Behind is a car in a garage by the same friend and some more of mine. The pop-art flowers and sky has stayed quite a while and in probably a keeper/sale item. The loose ones on the side probably not although I am undecided with the box framed 'electric sky' one on top of the pile.

Not a huge amount at the moment.....

Star Wars clock I had for my 40th, my Aston driving day photo (another 40th) and photo of my Grandad from Egypt in 1939.

Waiting to get shelves sorted and then I can put a few more pictures etc up in the spaces.

Interesting thread. My office currently has completely white walls, nothing up yet.

Planning to get a custom printed A0 sized OS map and put it in a frame. Will show my local area

Used to be this

Sometimes this

But usually I look at a nice oil.
