    When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

      Dave, the pic from underneath was taken outside in the driveway under the shade of a locust tree.
      The photo in the garage was indeed just florescent shop light. Both taken with an old Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5

        How about a not pretty gas tank.......

        2001 KLR650 too pretty to get dirty

        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.

          I can play in this one. This is my bike, not long after it got painted in 2006.
          It is unfortunate that there is a shadow from the brake lever, but this is the best "tank" shot I have.




          The top of the tank shows my love of angels.

              Thanks, Steve. I just thought of something that made me chuckle.

              Looking back at that pic it reminds me more and more of a Sesame Street type photo. I had no intention at the time of finding a giant letter, just looked like a neat sculpture to grab a photo with.

                This entry is probably going to tank, but here's mine this week. Cropped, flipped and a bit blurred, but oh well.

                  This tank and all the other parts are being offloaded from the bed of my beloved (but now gone) '88 Toyota into Frank's basement in north Georgia. The 1100GK they came from went from the trailer to a shed. Their arrival initiated the GSR "Yellow Frank" bike project.

                    Make mine a double...



                    I realized when I looked at the preview that this could look 'shopped. So here's another view. This is at a military museum/park near State College, PA. About 45 min. from my house.

                            Great shot Rich. I was looking for someone to include that other kind of tank. I wanted to do it myself but didn't have such a pic and could not work a ride up to Ft Knox (Army Armor Center) into my schedule.

                              I've been waiting for a theme where I could use it. I usually try to get a new pic for the theme each week. Have't been riding and taking pics for very long. So I'm just happy to have a pic in my limited "archive" that meets the theme.
