    Well, I found that birds, in general, put up a pretty good fight when you try to stuff a camera, even a small one, into their skull. Screws with their flight characteristics as well. Some can barely get off the ground. So a drone would be the way to go to best capture the theme.


    I asked my wife to pick this week. She picked Kerrfunk.

          Steve Murdock and the "BIG SIX" gets my vote.

          I've seen plenty of side views front views but never a top view.
          ​It shows just how big the CBX engine really is!

                KiwiAlfa's color blind bird shot works for me. Honestly it looks like a pic from a surveillance satellite. In any case I like it.

                      Steve Murdoch's big 6 spoke to my motorhead but Bourque's spectacular canyon shot gets my vote this week..
                      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.

                        As noted the steve murdoch pic of the big six really shows the massive engine. Also interesting is that the aftermarket exhaust is of similar proportion and width, and that Steve has another CBX in the garage. Personally I'd have cropped that out.

                        However I'm voting for Burke73. Nice composition showing the area. The bike is there, and it gives scale to the overall vastness of the scene. I'd imagine a small hike was involved in capturing that.

                          Yep, a small hike was involved, nothing too crazy though. I still had 330 miles to go and there was little daylight left.

                          Here's the spot. (If this works)

                          It's amusing to see so many different spellings of Burque. I think DB's "k" instead of the "qu" is probably the closest to how it sounds when spoken, rhymes with turkey.

                                This could be a flop or a lot of fun. Looking forward to seeing what y'all come up with.
