Pic of the week game

How many miles total ?

The current route sheet shows about 6500, so will probably approach 7000 or so.

This is about as packed down as I've had my 850. Took this pic as we were checking into the hotel on our first overnight trip with the GS.

It's a toss up for me between Jedz and Sandy.

Gotta go with Jedz123. Never seen lawn furniture on a bike before.

Sandys. A beautiful shot both overall, and from a bike lovers perspective.

When thinking of best-loaded-down bike, there are several pictures that would have to choose from.

For best photo, I choose Sandy's.

All great pictures. It's a toss up between Sandy and Trevor. I'm going with Trevor for a couple of reasons. First, I remember Trevor's write up of his motorcycle trip with his cosine in the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club Magazine. Second, how did he get the luggage of two women packed into such a small place! There must have been some compromising going on... "Just let me bring a pair of socks, underwear and a tee shirt. You can have the rest of the space" something like that.

My Vote is for TREVOR

I vote Sandy, perhaps not the most loaded however loaded in a great picture.

OK, looking back at the 'challenge' for the week, I see:
"... your motorcycle packed down for a big trip/or just packed down."

- There is absolutely NO doubt that Jedz is only lacking the kitchen sink. There is a good amount of stock storage, and more stuff has been piled on top of it.
- There is also NO doubt that fastbysuzuki is packed down. A rather impressive job of adding a HUGE tank bag and minimizing clutter outside of the rear hard luggage.
- As storm implies, trevor and cousin did a remarkable job of packing two women and their "stuff" with minimal luggage.
- Sandy's picture just HAS to be on a 'long trip'. I don't know of anyone that is quite lucky enough to have that kind of road in their back yard.

I am leaning toward Sandy this time around, as it fulfills both parts of the challenge. :encouragement:

Have enjoyed all the great pictures of the bikes and their loads. I place my vote for Jedz, as I, too, have packed my bike with a lawn chair. I am impressed that he got a metal framed chair on his bike, as I have only packed a bagged chair. Looking foward to the next theme of pictures.

 

[trevor]

My vote is for Sandy.... great shot!

 

[storm 64]

Okay ladies and gentlemen we have a winner! With Trevor picking up one vote, Jedz getting two votes. The hands down winner this week with FIVE votes goes to... SANDY! Congratulations Sandy, your turn to pick the next photo subject for next weeks fun.

Thanks folks, glad you liked the shot. How about something twisty? It seems to be something we all go seeking so let's see what you got? And Steve, so far my shots are taken on what could be a day ride from my place, you'll get to see lots of this sort of thing on your trip west. On the first photo note the road under the guard rail towards the right.

I've never been to Idaho. Sure would love to visit. My wife spent some time there and we talk about going up there frequently. She longs for the green, wet mountainous country.

Thanks for sharing Sandy. You sure take some nice photos.

Here's a shot of the twisty dirt road leading up to Capilla Peak in the Manzano Mountains.
