    I have to go with Mr. Murdock as well. Those old trucks are just cool. And, well, the bike is ok too. LOL

      I like the actual photo from Gustovh and the sentiment for posting it makes it a winner.

        I was going to go for a ride earlier in the week but i have a wonky wire somewhere and it got cold and I haven't spent the time with the bike to address it.
        Otherwise I would've ridden to Camden Park, an amusement park nearby that was opened in 1903 and has a nice nostalgic-looking sign.

        My vote is for dorkburger, probably because the black and white was nicely submitted and I like the photo.

          Baatfam, Spyder & burque pics make me think about such places and/or things from my past.

          Vote for baatfam for the picture. I recall seeing signs like that.

            Wait, you mean I was the only eight year old in 1981 who saved his allowance for the arcade? LoL

              1981: 29 year old, with 2 year old kid, I was walking wide around to avoid the obnoxious noise comming out of the arcade. Har har.

                  Gustovh for me this week due to the subject matter. I recall his Brothers epic trip to the Arctic Circle on the Ural. Nostalgia indeed!

                  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.

                    Voting for Steve Murdoch. I probably would have taken the same pic. Or maybe tucked my bike between the first and second truck. Either way, it's a cool shot.

                        For me it's a toss up between Spyder, Redman and Steve Murdoch.

                        I live on part of Route 66 and really enjoy the history of it, though it's hayday was before my time.

                        The trucks and CBX in Steve's pic just look really cool, but again more historic to me than nostalgic.

                        I just love these old GS bikes and I feel nostalgic looking at the ones in Redman's pic. My first GS, a then 10 year old 850G didnt have all the luggage my current bike does so seeing them naked brings back the good old days (1991 ish).

                        So, Redman for me.

                          It's not always the photo but story behind it and what it means to the person behind the camera. Gotta go with Gustov.
