    I like so many of them, but the one image that really grabs me is Jedz' submission:

    Norm, a special nod to you for the sunset in the tank
    '83 GS650G
    '83 GS550es (didn't like the colours in the 80's, but they've grown on me)

            And you didn't expect this? Hahaha...we're your friends, what did you think would happen?

            I got up before sunrise, setup my shot, spent an hour or so taking 60+ photos, pick out a couple, develop them, and.....and....???
            Not one vote....
            LOL....But I learned a lot...and that's why I like this game....

            Honestly, in all fairness, I studied your picture for some time, as I like to do with pro work. Hoping to learn a thing or three....
            And I saw a lot I like in that picture, and a couple things that really distracted me from the object of the picture, which of course is your beautiful bike.

            Now I did really like a couple of the close up shots he took, might of voted for one of those. And I might of liked one of the two with you on the bike more, if you weren't looking so grim....LOL

              Good morning! The votes as I counted them, with 17 votes in...

              1 vote each: kerrfunk, trevor, marvinsc, Charlie G, and steve murdoch
              2 votes each: storm 64 and Burque73
              4 votes each: Sandy and Jedz123

              It looks like we have a tie! If someone could verify my count, that would be great.

              Two players who submitted pictures, did not vote, Cowboyup, and Jedz123.
              Do we want to leave the voting open until say noon Pacific Saturday, and see if we get a tie breaker?

                  Thanks! Votes were correct, but the missing votes are Cowboyup and Jedz. I corrected the post above.

                  I am not sure how we handle a tie breaker, when one of the tied hasn't voted yet. Ideas?

                    My records match.
                    I think it's "sudden death".

                      Yah, sudden death is what I recall from previous conversations.
                      looking at rule 4 says in even of tie on voting day the next vote that decides it on the next day determines the winner.

                      I will pm Jedz and Scott cowboy, since others have said they have yet to vote.
                      but of course any vote from anybody can decide it.

                          And as far a sudden death goes, Jedz123 now has the winning number.
                          Fourth win for Jedz. Congrats!

                          Jedz, what's our new theme?

                            That happens when winner takes all. You show good sportmanship but if it makes any difference, your pic was a favourite -the sparkley distance was captivating, as was Sandys shapeshifter image.
