    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Edited because I could not see pic. Still can't see this pic on any PC browser I try. Can see it on my iphone. It's a BBCode from Imgur. Maybe it's that Imgur is blocked on my work PC? Can everyone else see the image below? Well, after doing a little reading on it, I guess if my company IT has blocked Imgur, then I won't be able to see any of those images on the work PC. Dang it.

This is hard, a curve is a curve, all good but about equal. I'm voting for trevor this week his is about as good as the rest... It may not be legal, but thinking the curves from his last weeks picture may have swayed me a little.
 
AH, Yes! All nice photos.

Rich is only one that went with the fact it said "curves", not "curvey road", not "roadside shot of curvey road".

Liked trevor and gustov on-the-road action shots. (I used to do that.)

Hey! Burque CA78 ! I been there a few times (more on CA79 only cuz closer to Oceanside).
Ok, now I recall you had been there a few years ago.

Lots of intersting, fun shot. Most all of them, I can just imagine riding along, and noticing the scene as a good place for a photo, maybe even turning around and going back.
For voting, Need something for a tie-breaker.
Some shots had the curvy in road and also featured somethingelse that seemed to be the intention of the shot or a lot of somethingelse weither was intneded or not.
I thought THe three shots that best featured the "curve" were Eli,
and Bob baatfam, multiple curves actually, (and the framing I like of standing back and zooming in) (and the Bob framing of looking over bike that is pointed into the scene).
ANd Ron 78GS750E, with the elvation change the most of the frame is the road curving, and has the road sign there, in distance, not too distracting, not a main element of the scene, dont really notice it till later, and then it does documents the road .
Its a toss up.
A vote for Ron 78GS750E. I like that my reaction was saying "oh, thats nice, curve all the way thru the frame, curve down and up and in the distance, um, nice, ..... oh, its 555"

Voting for Bob (Baatfam) makes me feel the lean.........................
 
Got to vote for 1978GS750E, (Ron). I can feel that transition from down hill to uphill during the corner. Cool!
 
Saturday, Vote Tally Day.


Have 13 votes over 6 of the 13 entries. My vote count:

CarterTuck 1,, Trevor 3,, Alke 2 ,,
KiwiAlfa 3 ,, 78GS750 2,, Baatfam 2

SOmeone can verify, but looks to me like we have a tie at 3 each between Trevor and KiwiAlfa.
So, we wait for a tie breaker from someone that hasnt voted yet.

>>later note: I have rechecked the count. Check.
