Pic of the week game

Turk, any explanation??? Only reasons I could think of for that bike on that rd would be accident or drunk... and hard to imagine an accident that bad.

You might try to crop out that sign and see what it looks like.

Yah, good idea, I didnt think of that.
that is an idea that would remove something that doesnt really support this weeks theme/topic. Good idea for trying to meet the theme/topic.

But, ah, I am not really trying to win.
haa haa

And, the sign was important that day for why I took the picture.

Turk, any explanation???

My friend was a ski racer, racing at White Pass Washington, home of the Mahre brothers.
The girlfriends at the time rode with my buddy/racer in a 1976.5 Volkswagen Bus, while I rode the 1980 GS750ET.
It belonged to buddies girlfriends brother previous.
I dated both of them one after the other, not at the same time. Then we all started hanging together.
The weather was dry on the way over, got a cabin, girlfriend had to lie to parents to come at all.

It was late April, I was in High School, so not a lot cash to spare, so I ended up riding up & down White Pass while was he was racing.

When we packed up to leave on the second day it started raining in Packwood, WA.
I was taking a photography class in school & thought this would be nice with the curve.

I encountered snow on the way home, obviously.

No alcohol involved, made it home with no spills.

Cayuse Pass Mt. Rainier National Park..........................

I was caught off guard with snow like that in Flagstaff a few years ago. Oddly enough, it was not as slick as I'd expected. Not that I'd willingly do it again, just sayin'.

Our Sandia Mountains in January make a wonderful backdrop for sunset pics.

OK, explanation accepted... It's just hard to imagine a street bike in those conditions without alcohol.

[Rob S.]

No alcohol involved...

Have you considered starting?

in the early 70s I rode year round, snow was easy stuff, ice was reallllly fun. Did manage to not crash and always made it to work.

Let us know what I might have flubbed up.

Rich has nice pic. Maybe I like it because it similar to some I have, with snow bank on side of the road, except mine would have dry pavement.

Carter Tuck gets my vote, for the severity of my reaction to it. YIKES.
THat looks like wets slop snow that woud pretty much make ice when pressed under tires. I have gone the length in my driveway in conditions like that (to get to clear road), and going just the length of driveway I was doing most of it partly sideways with one foot as an outrigger.

All nice pics.. I'll vote Carter Turk also. I don't think I would want to drive that in a car!
