Hey guys, I'm glad you liked that photo.
Here's a little story to go with it. On that ride off the beaten path I found a presumably stolen car and notified the sheriff's department. I hung around for two hours to lead them from the road to a hard to find dumping spot for the abandoned mustang. When they never showed I left to go home and eat dinner. Hours later they called to say they were finally on the way. I had to try to lead them there over the phone. It's not there anymore so I'm guessing they found it.

My last win at this game was on my birthday, just fyi. As always it's a real joy to see folks liking a pic.

My Wi-Fi seems to be on the fritz so I'll get a new pic up shortly.

When I saw the votes adding up I came up with an idea for a new theme. Last night I rode the KLX to the top of the neighboring Sandia Mountains for a night shot. What i didn't plan on was the twenty something degree temps and lingering snow up there at 10k feet. Anyway, at around 9pm I reached the summit and promptly grabbed hold of the engine to thaw my hands. All that to say I tried to be prepared for this but technology is fighting me this mrning.
 
I think I broke my computer. It was acting weird so I set it back to a restore point from yesterday. It's still working, three hours later...

Here's a file attachment for now, I'll fix it later. How about your bike with some lights at night. Above the lights or below the lights, doesn't matter.

My fingers were frozen and I couldn't capture things just how I wanted.

Ok...lights at night....you did leave it pretty open.. :)

My garage at night...with lights.

 
Thanks for asking, Dave. Any lights will do. Key words being Bike, Night and Lights.

My PC is still unusable. Thanks for blowing that pic up.

Good description.

(I can predict that Dorkburger is going to present quite a challenge.)

Is your pic, unaltered. I just used the "Insert Image" icon, and used the "save image address" of your attached pic.

Don't ride at night unless it is an emergency....So I got nothin', won't get nothin'...But i will vote.....
 
I deleted this to give Steve the option of using it but will put it back up just because both of our bikes are in it.

Can I use Cowboyup's picture as my entry? :-k

That's my Wing with the flag. :encouragement:

Actually, I'll find something else. :-\\\

I’m not a big night rider either but you saw what I posted. Do something like that. :)

Actually when I got up this morning I was going to delete my rather rash statement, but since you quoted it, oops.

I'll try to figure out something....:p
 
Looks great so far guys. I thought I'd picked a flop of a theme at first. Can't wait to see what else you guys come up with.

Sometimes with a busy week, night time is my only opportunity ride. I don't mind since traffic is lighter and we don't have deer issues like other places. Well, on the mountains we do, but I was super careful going up the Sandias the other night. Oddly enough I didn't see any deer that night.

Just had a small buck walk though our yard this morning. Didn't have a phone or camera on me at the time....LOL.

I had similar thought that I dont ride much at night.
I will share my next thought, "well, some night, how far do I have to go to find a light....? Downtown? Well, lets see, oh, there are lights on front of garage, there is street light near end of driveway."
Then next thought after that was "Dorkburger does a lot of night shots, anything I do will pale to that."
But I will do something.
 
One of my damp commutes home last year, as the date stamp shows. Can't wait to be back on the 850 next year!

Two of my favorite things in one pic :D

Also, this is my computer background at work, and the customers I was helping the other day told me it was their truck. They were a little weirded out but whatever hahaha
