      After being puzzled and amazed multiple times of how that guy in front could be Glen.

      Now I understand, Glen DB is the guy in the middle, okay, yah, I can see that now. With the black and red bike, the 1150.

        Well, if my count is correct, we have a runaway winner this week!

        Burque73 - 7 votes
        Dorkburger - 3 votes
        Trevor and Mrs Steve with 2 each
        Myself with one (thanks kerrfunk!)

        Nicely done Roger....what's next?
        I count Roger with 8 votes, but anyway, Burque is clearly the winner.
        Bob, I like your BMW picture as-is, and also some of the effects you did with it in other weeks.

          Oops....Musta missed one.

          I've been using that picture to try out different editing programs.
          At this point, I've got at least a dozen variations.

            I'll get something up shortly for the new theme. Out riding now, just stopped to thaw for a few.

            I hesitated to post that shot of the lightning strike because I doubt I can get anything that fascinating again. We'll, it was a "favorite" theme so that was mine. Anyway, the search for something new and fun is underway.

              Congratulations Roger.

              Bob, I love the picture edit.

              And yes, I?m in the center of my picture with the red / black 1150, and my cousin pictured with the 1100 wasn?t the
              owner - it was his brothers bike that he borrowed for the weekend.

                This week's theme

                Looking back through some photos of my KLR, I thought this one may peak your interest. Here's a peak at the New Mexican landscape, during the peak of the riding season.

                    Maybe a peak of your bike on the mountain top?
                    Or my favorite peak in motorcycle tech?
                    How about the peak of my arc when I high sided the BMW?

                      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.

                          There, I fixed my terrible spelling. I could have typed it this way to begin with, using homonyms (or homophones) but I thought it was funner that way.

                            I gathered that the subject-topic-theme is "peak" per your original statement. And I gathered that your misspelling was intentional. ANd you did not intend to included "peek" and "pique" as subject-topic-theme, but apparently others didnt notice that distinction. I was trying to alert them.

                              I guess I should feel stupid for mixing up peak, and peek, but I don't.
                              Frankly, spelling has never come easy to me.
                              Anyway, watch for my pic of a bike with a jug of PEAK antifreeze.
