    Not really sales brochure quality, but does show portion of the bike, well, most of it 'cuz I like most all of it.

    May not have much opportunity to keep looking to see if I have something more suited to the topic-subject.

    Per Bob's Baatfam's observation, I do have a story related to this pic (not intended to sell the photo). A story related to me taking this picture:
    On That day I recognized was a good occasion for photos in that was overcast, so minimal shadows. This pic is posed-setup per my liking. Is the same occasion that I also made some other shots with a pose that was more like what I noticed the Bike Of The Month editor seemed to prefer, so was such a poses that I submitted,

    Go to http://www.thegsresources.com/botmgallery.php and check out the September 2015 motorcycle.

    It was selected for BOTM, but I like this pose better.

      Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

          This is my glamour shot. You have seen it before. 1980 850L, 750T tank, Sporster seat, Moto Guzi turn signal left side, Delvic? 4/1 exhaust, pods and goes like it was stolen with cops on your tail.

              GS heavy so far, pretty cool. Hopefully I can get something today. Jury duty the next two weeks, (although I am fairly certain we won't have court on Thanksgiving).

                      Well, setting something up in the garage may not happen. It's clutter city, plus now a snowblower has been thrown into the mix.
                      I have a back up to use that I'll post later this week if I don't set something up....

                        Dave, I dig the dining car. A lot of those were manufactured here in NJ and shipped out. They have an interesting history and evolution
                        We have a very similar one in town.

                                Ok Guys. I dug through my archives and pulled this one because it's seems more than just another nice photo of my GS1000. Obviously a little Photoshop massaging.
