    Voting for gustovh because that must be really frustrating, not being able to filter.
    Can't recall the last time I was stuck in traffic like that.

          I like Roger's take on the subject.
          Burque73 gets my vote this week.

          Trevor, I couldn't imagine riding with a group that large. You guys must of split it up a little. Especially with that three wheeler in the gang. Haha

          82 1100e Drag Bike (needs race engine)

                I’m bowing out. If I can’t get a single vote for a shot with 13 guys that I’ve known since I was a teenager riding from Canada to California….with an incredible scenery behind us….like really I’m done. I saw it in school and I’m not going to play it here good bye all

                  Really? You're going to stop sharing your great photos because....feelings?
                  Remember, this is a photo contest, not a best memory contest.
                  Play, have fun, don't keep score.....

                    Happy Saturday Morning, GSR!
                    Let's tally up....
                    With one vote each, storm 64, Rich82GS70TZ, Baatfam, KiwiAlfa156, and Redman
                    With three votes, gustovh
                    And with five votes, for the win, Burque73 and his ghost riders....

                    What's up next, Roger?

                      Cool! I'm honestly surprised that shot got any votes let alone enough to win. Albaquirky's rebel riders, lol.

                      Not sure if being the fastest in the group is a good idea. I spend too much time looking in the mirror and don't enjoy the ride as much.

                      I'll have a new theme here in a few. Remember, it's just a game. Most of the shots in this thread wouldn't stand a chance in a legit photography competition.

                      Think of it this way, GSR pic game is to photography what the Suzuki GS is to the land speed record. My 850 won't win, but it'll be a fun ride!

                        I didnt vote but looked and to me your pic is more about the view with the bikes in shadow. Really not a very appealing pic. I don't mean that in a negative way or to hurt your feelings.

                        A bit of cropping with a slight bit of editing gives the pic a bit more of a bike group ride pic retaining the view

                          Here's a bird's eye view shot from last week's return from San Diego. That'll be the theme.

                              Agreed. I've found that personal narrative / memories are generally difficult to visually convey to others. Personal memories attached to an image may be strong, but sometimes don't resonate with those who who weren't there when the camera was clicked.
