      Another nod to Burque73 for his outside the box entry.

      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.

            Really tough choices this week, lots of great photos. As well I'm going with Burque73 this week as well. Nice well thought out composition.

              Trevor and Sandy, great contrast.
              Keerfunk , Rich , Cowboy great situation-scene.
              Baatfam and Burque innovative ideas.
              Early this week I was trying to think if I had any pic of bike at something that was black & white, so that makes me lean toward Burque pic.

              Will vote for Sandy pic. Nice pose, and crisp clear pic that looks good in B/W.

                    Glad you liked that pic guys. It was actually my wife's idea. I was going for a black and white sherrif's truck down the street, but couldn't get the pic. My wife mentioned a piano shop near here so I started looking at when they were open/ closed and sunrise/ sunset times, but it wasn't lining up. After passing by a few times during the week I noticed the same two cars there most of the time, employees' cars, always in the wrong spot for the pic I wanted. Anyway, I finally went into the shop and asked the owner for permission to take a few photos outside. "Ha, I don't care" is all he said. Here's the spot if anyone's interested. That silver minivan, always parked there, is behind the bike in my pic. It was challenging to get that shot. While it's not uncommon to see someone laying on the sidewalk around here, it's usually because they've indulged in cheap wine.

                    Sorry to ramble, I'm stalling while I think up a new theme...

                                That gave me an idea for the theme.

                                A pic that tells a story, but not necessarily typing out the story. If that makes sense.

                                Here's my entry.
