Pic of the week game

[Redman]

I havent had a bike with spoke spokes (nor drive chain) since 1982.

And since I saw Steve M photo , I dont know why I bother..... but then again, I aint trying to win anyway.

Okay, I found some pic that kinda fits.......

.

Ah, and now I see KiwiAlpha pic, mine is too much of similar idea.

So, look for something else.

Here (I'll delete the one above)....

How 'bout a close up?

Here's my spoke job...
I wanted to get more creative. Like spokes from a water wheel wagon wheel...

Like spokes from a water wheel wagon wheel...

Thanks for the idea, Norm...

Paraphrasing a line from Deliverance, "Y'all sure have some pretty spokes....."

Grungy spokes will get you down the road as well as Shiny ones..........IMG_7050 by Scott Marvin, on Flickr

Sheesh! I stay away for three weeks and the system breaks down entirely! A group of 'good ole boys' sitting around drinking 160 proof grain alcohol (sounds like the reincarnation of "Krusty's Inner Circle") stages a coup in the middle of the night and the next day voters are claiming they were disenchanted or de-incarcerated.

Fear not, I have returned. Rules are: "House of Spokes" wins because 6 beats 4 or 2. Baatfam is runner up because his bike looks a lot like mine.

Tennessee Jed (or Phil): how can you call yourself a 'Swiftee' iffen you ain't got one of them 'picture fones'? Fear not, I can get you up to speed. If anybody asks you what your favorite Taylor song is, just say "Hard Day's Night."

Now pass me some of that 'Mountain Dew'! :beaten:

Happy Friday, GSR photo fans....Let's review and vote....

First the theme of the week by gustovh:

Let’s try “spokes”

[/SIZE]

That should be all of them....Don't forget to vote....and don't forget if you voted...

 

[1978GS750E]

Voting for Redman this week.

 

[storm 64]

Baatfam gets my vote this week.
A great take on the subject.

Hard this wk. Being grown up on farm with spoke whl. tractors Redmad really got my attn. Steve's CBX with it's + all those other spokes, very impressive, But voting storm 64 for thought, efforts, and results of those OEM look-a-like rotors on those spoked wheels, Suzuki should of had one like that.

 

[kerrfunk]

I vote for murdoch​​​​​​’s spokes

 

[gustovh]

Rich and slow spokes for me this week. How does one get a 78 750 soooooo clean. Is it even ridden?

[rphillips]

gustovh, you got me very confused !!!

 

[Baatfam]

gustovh, you got me very confused !!!

He voted for Rich, and then asked how Ron keeps his 750 so clean. Easy-peasy

 

[rphillips]

Well, Was kind'f thiking that but not sure... I had the same question for Ron, I've seen detailing, but that's ridiculous..

Actually, I think that's a pic of the '78 GS1000 right after I put the rear end back on, during the restoration, before the frame was powder coated and before being ridden!

The '78 750 doesn't have spokes!

Come on guys, I don't keep my bikes in pristine condition. I'm afraid Norm would be very busy in my garage!

….. storm 64 ……….of those OEM look-a-like rotors on those spoked wheels,……..

FYI (if I recall Norm Storm’s story correctly), that is Norms own custom drilling on the disc, so maybe are OEM disc.
