        Oh snap... I didn't vote. Sorry guys I was busy with a funeral this weekend life has been but a whirlwind it seems... Looking very much forward to getting out to Indiana in 2 weeks.
        I'll find something soon. Please stay tuned.
        Thanks for the votes!

          I propose Live Action for this week's theme. You and one of your bikes taken while in movement.

          Hope all find this to be an acceptable theme!

            I've never been fortunate enough to either be in a spot where a cameraman could take a picture like that or hire one. But there a lot of times the wife will take a picture from behind on our rides. This is probably the best of my ones as it shows the Colorado front range in the distance

              Hey, I like this theme!...I was even thinking the same, that it would be a good idea for this game, a few weeks ago. Great minds think alike! Anyway here's my Tail of the Dragon "action" shot from a few years ago, but I don't like to pay people to take pics of me so I pulled the free one off their website, so you'll get some of their free advertising! I think my DL650 was a little easier to push through the curves than your Harley, Justin, so I'll give you more credit for effort! At least I didn't have to worry about scraping body parts with the vStrom's healthy ground clearance! I bet you'd love to be back there with the Triumph!!

                That's my plan for July! I'll be heading south to TN again to meet my new neice and then east into the NC mountains for a few days. The Triumph will be going through her paces. 1 month of ownership and over 4K miles already. It's been a great mile racking stead.

                  Good theme! I wasn't sure about using pictures taken by someone else, but if the theme requires it, than all is good.

                  I am sure I have something I can use.

                  Jedz, I took the liberty of straightening the buildings in your winning photo, just for grins. Hope you don't mind me touching your pixels. I did lose some data around the edge, cutting off the bottom of the left bike's tire, but it was just for fun. Let me know what you think.

                        Welcome.

                        We should be able to at least meet for a meal. We also have a decent guest room depending on your route and timing, if you are interested.

                        We can discuss at Brown County.

                          Thanks for dropping back in on this thread. Life, and death (sorry to hear that, Justin) certainly get in the way sometimes huh?

                          I'm sure after your little get together in Indiana you and many others will have some good pics to share.

                            What's the new theme?
                            These are good questions. I changed a couple of things in the first post to hopefully help eliminate some confusion.

                            1. Today is Saturday, I'll start with a theme.
                            2. Saturday to Thursday is submissions time. Everyone else can post one (and only one) picture that meets the theme.
                            3. Friday is voting day. Vote for the picture you like the most. You can vote even if you didn't participate with a pic during the week. (voting closes at midnight, Pacific time zone).
                            4. In case of a tie during the voting day, the first vote that breaks the tie the day after will decide the winner.
                            5. Saturday, the winner of the week posts a new theme using an example picture.
                            6. The example picture ALSO participates.
                            7. Any bike can participate... not only GS's (as long as it was yours when the pic was taken)
                            8. The date of the picture does not matter, or who took the pic. You can use new or old pics as long as you've got the bike in the pic (or as much of the bike as necessary for the theme) and they meet the week's theme.



                            Summarizing:
                            • Saturday to Thursday: Pics that meet the week's theme are submitted.
                            • Friday: Vote for your favorite pic of the week.
                            • There is no official score keeper so if you submit a pic for the week keep an eye on the votes you get, or at least check the thread on Saturday to see if you've won.
                            • Saturday: The winner posts a new theme using an example photo.

                              Talk more for sure at Brown County! I will definitely take up an offer for an overnight. I will start building that trip itinerary when I get back from Indiana in June.

                                Oh I have a contribution for this theme!
                                This is one of my favorite pictures.

                                I was staying at my aunt and uncle's place in Alexandria one year while I ran a half marathon.
                                A friend of mine bought a Goldwing, but he was a little nervous about relearning to ride on such a big bike, so he borrowed my 550 for a few weeks, and I rode his Goldwing.

                                Here's my aunt taking a spin around the block. I love the look of terror on her face, and the blur of the picture plus the clear focus of my face.
