Pic of the week game
- Thread starter Burque73
- Start date
Here is first I could find.
THis year BC.
Dale Dogma 850GK track bike (yes, 850, GK bags, he takes to track days), other GSs. My RT (same as in Norm Storm pic) way in back, can barley see.
Maybe the multiple GSs will deserve enough extra points to counter balance having the truck in the picture.
>>later note
oh, this pic was this year. In most years I park along that row, but I did not park there this year…. So this pic does not include my bike…. Fraud…. Cheat…. Stealing….. only way I can win is by fraud ! !
I may be able to find a replacement this evening, maybe not.

Here I found this, my GK cam cap with reflection of other GS
not too sharp/clear, but has my bike.
2017 BC bike of Greg?Bossler?
Ha, a familiar scene. I was going to post a pic in the same spot taken after the rain. Steve's 850 next to mine has the blanket taken off. Pretty sure Redman took the pic I was thinking about so will use something else.
Question.....Is it the bike, the scene, the composition, the mood that gets votes? Over the last five years or so of playing this thing, you could say many bikes here have gotten lots of votes.
I have all of the above criteria and more, individually, or combined, to vote. It's kinda like you know it when you see it. At least for me.
I've always considered this a straight photo contest. The theme is just a starting point for us, and is not important to my vote.
I vote for the photo that works best for me.
All the usual stuff, exposure, framing, composition, leading lines, balance, clear subject, etc., but it also has to tell a clear story.
The picture I posted fits the theme and kind of tells a story. " It's raining, I'm 2,500 miles away from home, I might not look my best but I'm running good and I'm here"...
That's what I see when I look at that picture. Plus it gives me a chance to use Roger's sweet GS in a photo contest! Haha.
What is the difference between a photo and a picture?? Curious...
Think about this, maybe good framing, exposure, leading lines, composition, and balance is why you like the photo...

Scott's picture was taken from the Cherahola Skyway, just a couple weeks after my first low-side in some invisible gravel. Scott and Jim generously let me take the lead up US129, claiming they've never been there before. I saw gravel in every corner, whether it was there or not.
Very good....
To me, a photo is a picture, but a picture may not always be a photo. It could be a painting, drawing, etc.
However, you are correct about lawns and yards....and I love your description....Nicely done...
:smug:
And you did Great! BTW I had been on 129 a time or three by then.............

My GS Skunk is about the 7th one down the line. I'm afraid I can't remember whose 750 that is.
OK, let's review our photos and vote. First the theme of the week:
....
And that should be all of them....Fun stuff!
Thanks everyone for playing, and don't forget to vote.
