    I haven't figured out the multi-quote thing yet, either. Let me know if you do.

    As for Dave's comment, I agree, none of the photos said, "My first" visually. My theme was difficult for that kind of photographic clarity, and since we strip out all the extra words in summation, I guess it can matter. Personally, I almost never add an explanation with my photos, as I shouldn't need to, but I sure did this time.

    Remember, it's just a goofy, fun photo contest, and there are no rules for how we vote. All of us have different different reasons for how we vote.

    Still, we good some good stories with the photos. I do enjoy those.

      And I sure would like to get the "official" theme from Rob, (Rob S. are you out there? We got the photo, just need your words.)

      Either way, we will vote on Friday the 25th of March....

        You have the pic of my crumpled Sportster, I think the caption was "Will this buff out?"

        I'll try to check in now and then, specially for Sportsball season. Besides, I see I printed "goodbuy" instead of goodbye, so I must have been commenting on what a bargain this site is. See you around.

            Wow, the multi-quote is actually easier than before. that's nice. I wonder if there's still a 10 pic limit per post. Be nice if we can get all of the roundup pics in one post.

            And Rob, ditto what Bob said. Stick around, you're like our favorite uncle.

              I hoped on this AM because it's Friday so here to look at pics and vote. I'm so lost at this moment in time are we still voting this week? The new Forum setup is nice. Change is good, figuring it out.

                Rob S. won, a week ago. However the forum shut down lost some posts, and created some bugs, so we paused the game for the week.
                We'll be reposting the tally, and the theme. Hopefully everyone has photo posting worked out.

                EDIT: I can't see any reason I not to restart the game today....Working on it.

                    Let the game begin....(Yes a day early, or six days late, depending)

                    Tally from last week:
                    Two votes each, dorkburger and Redman
                    Four votes, dpep
                    And five votes, Rob S.

                    Here is the theme of the week from Rob:

                    Everyone has until Thursday night, as usual, to post up photos.

                    Good luck, have fun, and sorry about the confusion this week.

                      I'm out this week. I just don't like the topic. I don't want to see folks crashed motorcycles... There's to much doom and gloom out there, why add to it?

                            Doesn't have to be a bike crash, Norm. That's just Rob's interpretation.
                            I am hoping to see other takes. Think PO paint jobs, oil stains on the hardwood floor from indoor storage, etc.
