      I have ridden hundreds of miles in the rain and through a couple of epic Thunderstorms but no pics. Voting for Eli69 Gas and Go pic.
      sigpic2002 KLR650 Ugly but fun!
      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.

          Many worthy entries this week. But I have to give it to dorkburger. The limp, dangling turn signal stalk and cracked lens just add to an already miserable scene.

                Yes, Was great of Tim.
                Steve Steve got me and my bike to Indy (Brian's house). Tim rode my bike from Indy to his house NW Indiania, two hours from my house. (My wife meet us there with van/trailer.)

                Ok, back to photo contest.

                    I like many of the pics. Seeing the rain when stopped somewhere seeking shelter (I myself look for bank drive-up awnings or church entry canopys.). Seeing rain drops on bike or faceshield or windshield . Seeing grime on bike (Dork).

                    VOting for Bob baatfam, I like the view that shows the water drops on handlebars, and warter drops on the bike. Makes me thing it had been raining a lot. Initailly I thought the stuff in background was a distraction, but after a while the water drops on handlebars made the picture, especailly for the theme.

                      Eli at the pumps gets my vote.
                      I remember him saying how the coffee was as important as the gas.

                        Living in the PNW rain is part of the ride sometimes. That’s why all my gear is WP for fall thru spring riding. But to be honest I do look at the weather more often these days.

                          Okay folks, let's tally up the votes.

                          With ONE vote Depep, Storm64

                          With TWO votes Redman, Rich

                          With THREE votes The Dorkburger

                          And a tie with FOUR votes Baatfam and Eli

                          So there you have it a tie for the win. How about we wait until 12:00 noon eastern time. Maybe we can get someone to break the tie by then...

                          22 BMW K1600GT (Probably been to a town near you)
                          82 1100e Drag Bike (needs race engine)
                          81 1100e Street Bike (with race engine)
                          79 1000e (all original)
                          82 850g (all original)
                          80 KZ 650F (needs restored)

                                We all have a favorite local road, don't we?
                                Something fun, familiar, and close to home, that we can hit if we don't have much time.
                                Maybe on the commute home from work, or when we need a test ride after some wrenching.

                                So that's the theme for this week: "Your Favorite Local Road" (With a sign, if possible...)
