Pic of the week game

[1978GS750E]

Eli69 for me this week!

[Baatfam]

Let me add this to that.

Roger (Burque73) started this game in Jan of 2018. Over 7 years and 16,000 posts about our motorcycle adventures.

I love this game. A little piece of sanity and fun every week. That's why I try to help out.

But I'll be d@mned if I'll let this game be less fun because of politics or hurt feelings.

Let's play on and enjoy ourselves.

Voting for Ron - 1978GS750E

Good morning, GSR! Let's review our photos and vote.
First the theme of the week by Justin, (Jedz123):

That should be all of them, except Trevor's...

Let us know if anything is amiss...

You're right....I'm just done....I'm done with America and their bullshlt
Take care

Trevor, you don't have to like America to still like motorcycles! And that's what this site is really about. I could care less what country you live in, or your politics. Love of motorcycles and riding should transcend that. I've really enjoyed seeing the people, places, and motorcycles you have experienced. Would really be a loss to the forum if you left...

Gosh Bob, with our stringent rules if you'd been caught cheating you may have been thrown out, but as you were big enough to admit it, I'd vote to allow you to stay in... Possibly a penalty of picking the next theme...Like you said just a photo contest, nothing serious, please let's all just have fun with it.

Hi guys, I deleted my entry this week....as pointed out, my post was "hardly in my backyard"....I can't do a "National Park" as we in Canada don't have them. You guys do realize there are other countries participating in GSR?

Mine wasn't a "National Park," just an unpaved road on federal land. Best I had on hand, and it looks good. So there.

Trevor, it's just a photo contest, nothing serious. Sometimes when we come up with theme ideas, which isn't always easy, there are flaws.

As far as I am concerned with the world around us, and all I can say in this forum is, I am still your friend, and still on your side in this, as are many others here.

We have to fight the good fight, but we can't give up FUN, as they say in Portland.

Gee, reading your messages makes me wonder why you voted for Donald in the first place!

[rphillips]

Well, I do got to admit, plenty of stuff down here I don't agree with either...But There's an old say'in down here that keeps me from gett'in too excited about those things and just not take them too seriously.... God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can change, and the wisdom to know the difference....

....I can't do a "National Park" as we in Canada don't have them..
.....

National Forest....... Forest... the significance being rustic-undeveloped.
Typically unpaved, no facilitys.

I think you have riden in places that fit that description.

Do what??? I just punched in National Parks in Canada and everything that came up says Canada has 37 National Parks and 11 National Park Reserves, whatever they are, covering appx. 343,377 square kilometers... Not arguing what you say, you live there, but odd what's on the computer.

I'm getting a little tired of USA USA USA...of course I'm sure you will respond with me "being to sensitive"....it would be nice if Americans could look outside there own world for once....I'm just tired of it.
You make it hard to like you

[1978GS750E]

This is as close as my 1100E is getting to a "forest road"! (Although, it is a road in the Daniel Boone National Forest!)

[Redman]

National Forest ....... (not National Park)..... that means not even any hand water pumps.

Not such a great photo photographically. But a memorable and somewhat significant event for Justin and for me.
Sixteen years ago.


As I recall, Justin, about 30 then, and had been going on annaul Memorial Day weekend camping trip with highschool buddys since highschool, every year since highschool, there in this Manistee National Forest. But this year all his buddys cancled out because of other family events or eminent birth of kids. He was annoyed.
But somehow, him and I arranged a ride together, and we rode up to there, and rode around the area, and hung out at the area they usally camped for a while,

and we had a good talk.

Well, next year, about the same holiday weekend, his first child was born. And three years later his next was born.

ANd now, in more recent years, Justin and some of his highschool friends, and some other friends, and Jay RedmanSIL have an annaul weekend campout there with thier kids.
They do sometime invite me to ride up and visit, but, ah,,,, those sandy two-tracks. I recall how I about lost it multiple times on the pictured occassion.

>>Later note: Maybe this is Manistee State Forest.
