Deliberate anti-social activity including personal insults, profanity, pornography, racism, threats and purposely inflammatory posts may result in suspension of forum access or possibly a permanent ban from GSR.

    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Thanks for doing totals, K
And I'll verify the count....

Congratulations Sandy!
 
Wow, thanks guys. I can't remember if I used this one before but here goes. The theme is "Old". Like something that appears to be from a by gone era. Could be old architecture, people, vehicles or whatever you can come up with so it looks like it was taken at or before the time our motorcycles were built. The old Caddy wasn't planned either. He just showed up as I was taking the picture.

Here is my entry, a Sherman tank. taken at Slapton Sands, UK, where they practised for the WW2 D-Day landings in Normandy.

I always liked this pic....from up Island from me in a town called Chemainus known for their murals...

 
Ronald was the first motorhead friend I made after moving to TN. (And our wives are friends, also:cool:)
Bikes, boats, and cars all his life, but his first love is Hot Rods. Been driving his car to shows all over the country for years.
Last summer his was in a wreck, and totaled his rod of 20-25 years, so he bought another.
So here is my something old, Ron's new hot rod Ford. (Chevy motor, of course)
This photo was from last summer, and it looks a little different now.
He did a lot of work over the winter. Kind of a perfectionist.

Here's an old drive in theater we visited last night In Las Vegas, NM. Talk about a by gone era. Saturday night at the drive in was a favorite for all of us. Last time we saw one was over 25 years ago. Certainly when this bike was new, I enjoyed movies like Return Of The Jedi, War Games, James Bond/ Octapussy and so on. I loved going to the drive in. Who didn't?

When the gate attendant asked where we were from, he said just go on in! I suppose the $20 entrance fee applies to cars only, LOL. I guess he figured I couldn't fit very many friends in this trunk!

The movie started just before dark.

 
Marble cutting factory in Proctor in Vermont....

We moved into the house that I built 10 years ago. It sits on 11 acres of pretty flat wooded land with a small crick that runs through it. One of the things that we really like about our place is the 70 year old ceder stumps that dot the place. One of the largest sits on the edge of our back yard, the top of which exceeds 6', so here is my submission for "old".

Old -1930's-40's? Barn in my neighborhood

Older - @1908? Model T in front of the Rusty Rail, a great brew pub in the building where I work and owned by the same company. The building used to be (among other things) a factory that manufactured wooden truck bodies for Model Ts in the early 20th Century.

Oldest - Old log house in my town - Pre 1836!
This is my submission for this week

Runs into class 10 minutes late holding an assignment:o

Some old buildings in town. This one was recently spiffied up and houses a company called New York Shaving Co. that manufacturers shaving / beard products.

Fun fact - the bike is leaning on the wall here held up by the bar and mirror... I'm dumb....
