And heads up, today is 12/14, and we'll vote on this contest on 12/20.
Next contest begins 12/12, with vote on 12/27.

I'm all for continuing in the new year -- shall we treat 12/28 to 1/3 like a normal week?

[Baatfam]

Thanks for doing the count, Glen.

Sure....why not?

Methinks you really meant 12/21?

Classic Dad trick, check if you're paying attention

[steve murdoch]

Again, thanks for the votes Gents.
I really did like the giant U pic from Roger.

Bikes are hibernating for a while so archives it is.

This week let's do a theme on "gas tanks". If you have a bike you have one of these so hopefully we get a big entry list.
Maybe a new paint job, a reflection in the tank, raindrops beading on a fresh waxing, tanks hanging from the rafters. It doesn't even have to be a GS tank.

[trevor]

Easy one for me...Wes Cooley signing my gas tank.

[steve murdoch]

I have to go with Murdoch as well. That really is an awesome looking header set. Bet it sounds awesome too!

That Alphabet system does sound fantastic from about 6-9000rpm.
In this pic you can see how open the "competition" baffle is in the muffler.
Low revs on the street for sure.

[cowboyup3371]

I have a few to choose from but I'll go with the first time I re-painted it

. . . . . . . . . . . a look from under the old CBX dragbike with the spaghetti Alphabet headers.
.....

Tell us about any specific lighting for this shot. Or is that just the overhead shop lights?

[Eli69]

if you're wondering what RLAM means: Rally Like A Mutha!
RLAP is Rally Like A Pilla, homage to a deceased friend who really knew how to rally.

.................. or a reflection in the tank, ................

What sort of weirdo would have anything like that......?


You have been seeing this since 2009.


>> NOT MY ENTRY.
Will be posting another later.

[kerrfunk]

This was my third bike, and it was gold and blue when I got it.
I bought a fairing from someone here and painted it to match (I added the lowers later but this is the better photo)
I got the SUZUKI decal on ebay, and discovered it's reflective tape.
I had a friend cut some decals to say GS700E.
And the same friend made me a dozen or so decals of the circuit rider, the emblem of Methodist pastors.
I have that decal on my 650 (and my phone and my laptop too).
