    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.

Pic of the week game

Does the motorcycle have to have a running engine?

Charlie, I really like that picture. Hope you don't mind, but I downloaded a copy, and cleaned it up a bit to see the bike better...

Thanks Bob, that's more how my eye sees it in my garage! Cheers!
 
OK...This is the best I have at the moment. Maybe I'll get out in the next day or so, and try for something better.

That's how it works. Our eyes have incredible dynamic range. Much more than monitors, printers, or cameras. But there are some things we can do to make a picture look more like what we see.
 
How about your bike with a flag. Bonus points for a flag pole.
Country of origin, your alma mater, favourite sports team maybe even a military flag.
Bike? ... √
Flag(s)? ... √
Pole(s)? ... √
Military? ... √

OK, gotcha covered. :encouragement:

For some reason, the US flag was tangled with the pole, and was not flying with the others. :oops:

Alright, I'm pulling this out of the archive. From like a year ago ;)

This is about fifteen miles from my home. The sign reads
MARSHALL PLANE CRASH SITE. On Nov. 14, 1970, 75 people died in the worst sports related air tragedy in U.S. history, when a Southern Airways DC-9 crashed into the hillside nearby. The victims included 36 Marshall University football players, 9 coaches and administrators, 25 fans and air crew of 5. No one survived this horrific disaster.
The movie WE ARE MARSHALL does a pretty decent job of telling the story of the rebuilding of Marshall and the town.

 
Help please.
Would one of you fine folks please do me a favor and look at my post #1076 in this thread a see if my image shows up. I've been using google photos to host pics. I've noticed that if I look back over my posts with images hosted on google photos, the images only show up if I'm logged in to google. I just tested this. Not logged into google, no image in my post. Log in to google, image shows up. Log out of google, image disappears. This is on my work PC. Looking at the same post on my phone, all I see is a small empty square where my picture should be. I'm considering using imgur to host pics but I won't bother if everyone else can see my pics whether I'm logged into google or not. I've notices some people use imgur, some flickr.

Would that be the one of two cats eating spaghetti? :-k

Actually, no, I don't see anything. I do use Google Chrome to view the forum, but no picture is showing for me.

OK. Just replaced that image in post #1076 with one hosted on imgur. Could I get another check. Thanks Gents!
 
GREAT! Thank you. Yep, shows up when I view the forum on my phone too. THANKS GUYS!
And Steve, If I ever win the Pic-of-the-week-game, My theme just may be two cats eating spaghetti, on a motorcycle, of course.:p
 
From ride yesterday, did stop at a couple big flags flying but could not find any interesting pose. Maybe might find something later in the week.
Did find this.
Maybe not really flags, but Multiple "flags".

Can you make a guess as to why this particular selection of flags....?
THis is an industrial processing place that was a customer of mine that I made many service calls, working on industrial equipment controls.
Clue in a moment.

Flags? I found some flags. How about 444 of them... This afternoon I took a ride to Hermitage Pennsylvania. That is where you'll find the Avenue of 444 Flags. The significance of the 444 flags is, it's the number of days 52 Americans were held hostage during the Iran Hostage Crisis. From November 4th 1979 to January 20th 1981(remember that). On day 100 of the crisis, they put up 100 flags then one each day after. It really is a spectacle to see.

Great shots so far this week!

Here's mine. A bit sketchy on the setup. Tried several different locations for different effects and ended up hot and sweaty. Ended up riding up a grassy hill for this one.
