    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 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.

    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.

Pic of the week game

How about some art this week:
This is painted on the wall .............
......................

I interperet this as:
The subject-theme-topic is "some art" (... and bike blah blah).
And the picture that you submitted, for the theme-subject-topic this week of "some art", happens to include a mural-painting-on-a-wall of a fire truck on a fire station wall, but our submissions do not need to be a mural-painting-on-a-wall, any more than it needs to be a fire truck or on a fire station. Our submissions need to include "some art".

I want to ask/discuss this before I ride into the Lourve to pose bike in front of the Monna Liesa.
(Of course, the definition of "some art" is subjective.
We went to Art Prize in Grand Rapids a few years ago, and after looking at several "installations", we walked along and were looking at another one and was looking for the sign-description for a while before I realised it was actually a real pile of construction debris.)

If you did mean for the subject-theme-topic to be art-mural-painting-on-a-wall (as others apparently seemed to think), please confirm somehow.

My interpretation was your bike with any art, using a mural as an example. I liked the mural so that's the route I chose.
 
As it happened, a few weeks ago I stopped to look at this

Have noticed this many times, but usally late afternoon with more shadows from the ribs, and usally had cars parked in front of it.
Went back today, about noon when would be less shadows from the ribs. (I don't think that statement is divulging any of my personal weirdness that you don't already suspect.)


Can not think of any other "art" picture that I would have.

If I were in Chicago I could go to the Honorable Richard J Daley Plaza.
Hey, Thats were they got that Picasso.

Yes any art is fine although if someone can ride into and get pictures of anything within the Louvre, I would be greatly impressed and ready to vote for you immediately
 
Yeah, I had a few other pictures of these from years ago in the "riding Game". But wasn't able to get them back from PhotoSuckit... Likely still have them in my old computer, but not gonna bother to fire that up just for a couple pics, lol...

The Jet hasn't looked like that in 8(ish) years...
 
I actually put about 200 miles on yesterday looking for something, found a new lake but discovered this on the other side of town!!!

Some times things are just under your nose!
 
OK, my bike is back together. For the second test ride, we did another father-son ride to the cop shop and followed cowboyup's inspiration.

This one is NOT an entry, just showing the father-son part of it.

About a week ago, this is what my bike looked like:

I live in a small logging town of 2000, that had 2 100 year floods. After the last one FEMA condemned the schools and we had to tear them down. The large trees that were out front of the schools, cut down as well. So a local chain saw artist converted one of the stumps. Here is my entry.

Great looking fish Gustov. Knowing how hard and time-consuming carving something like that is by hand, I often wonder how guys can do it with a chain saw. I envy their skills.



With that said, it's Friday morning and I have to say, my vote is going for Burque.
 
Again, multiple good entries, including Cowboys sample submission (those are eligible for voting, you know).......
So had to think of a tie-breaker, and such deliberation results in my vote going for Trevor, with the main subject filling the entire frame, and minimal extraneous distractions, and the bike seems to strangely fit in (maybe due to the common coloration).
