Pic of the week game

[Burque73]

Yes Dave, thanks for grouping the photos together like that.



I like these pics. Certainly some unique spots to find a bike, or several bikes... Voting for the bikes in the living room by Steve Murdoch this week.

[TxGSrider]

Wow, its a tough call.... I know the bikes in the hotel aren't supposed to count but its a toss up between those and the bike in church.

[dorkburger]

Not tough at all for me. Charlie's shot is darn near transcendent, and gets my vote.
Loved Gustovh's gun shop pic as well. I was voting for that.... until I checked the site this morning.

Charlie, is this the interior of the former church you used a while back, the one whose lovely
craftsmanship / woodwork was mentioned?

[Baatfam]

My four finalists are:

Burgue73 - Car Wash - Excellent picture, bike is nicely framed by the machine and rollers. And it is very clean, also
steve mudock - Living room - Very nice picture, work in progress and all that. Nice sharp shot.
Gustovh - Gun shop - Yes, that is unusual, LOL. Again, nice picture.
Charlie G - In church - Very nicely done. Good composition and set up.

I was having a had time deciding, until I realized all the seats in Charlie G's church picture are facing the bike. HA!

My vote goes to Charlie G - Bike in church....

I got to go with Charlie G. Motorcycle in the church? I'm not sure how he got away with that! 👍

gotta go with gustovh. That's just bad-ass.

Going with Charlie.....the church would start on fire if I tried that.

I agree. Charlie's pic. And there HAS to be a good story that goes with it...........

[gustovh]

Ya Charlie you pulled that one off.

I recall Charlie saying something about what is probably that place a few months ago.

Yah, here we go:

By what Charlie said there, it seems there are two answers to your question.

[Redman]

Well, I got three or 4 pics in mind, and need to find a tie-breaker.

If I was going for the best photo, for photography-composition sake and general appeal, I would choose mine.

Gustov's is unexpected and nice pose.
If I was going for most unique-unexpected I have a tie in my mind for Roger Burque and Charlie. Both good pics of quite "unexpected" places.

Man, when I was thinking of the subject-theme for the week I was thinking of something like "bike parked really strange weird places", like some of my pics that some could describe as "stupid, dangerous, ill-advised, hazardous".

But I though, naw, better tone it down so more folks will have some photos to enter. So described it as "unexpected places".

And then Roger post one that made me gasp and think "how did he ever get that idea, and then actually did it". And he somehow posed things for good lighting inside a car wash. So I will use that as the tie-breaker in my mind, and throw my vote to Roger Burque.

I'm going to let the picture say it all. Getting fitted.

Suppressed Ruger Mini 14 or 30? SWEET!

[Spyder]

You get your bike in a church, (without going to jail) you get my vote...

[wacky941]

If I have a vote this time, CharlieG is my vote.

[Redman]

How about being on a stage?
Never thought I would be on a stage with my motorcycle...lol...this was May2017 at The Quail Motorcycle Gathering in Monterey Ca.
My bike won Cycle World Magazine's "Best of Tour"...
....

I can see the bike being deserving.

And they got you on stage .... and gave you the microphone !
