Pic of the week game

Interesting topic-theme, Bob. Thanks.
Really had to ponder on this, and just started looking thru pics, and then thought of this:
From 2009, Fathers Day, 3 Bikes, 3 couples
Left to right:
- Son Justin and wife. His SV650. Now has Tiger 1050 and two kids. And live about 20 miles away.
- Daughter and boy friend. She had just moved back from SanAntonio, he lived on other side of of Michigan. A couple months later they were engaged. Our Honda Shadow. He had and still has H-D Dyna Super SomthingOrOther. They married the next year and now have a 10 month baby. Have been in San Diego for 5 years now.
- Wife and I. The GK.
Was a hot June day, so we dispensed with the gear for the photo.
Will keep looking and see if I find something more artistic.

Thank you. There are actually loads of three things in my pics over the years. Three volcanos, three deer, three cows highway 333 just east of town, three bats out front of the ballpark, three tractors and so on. I take way too many pics, it's amazing I ever actually get anywhere, lol.
Here's a threesome. We're heading out to a PNW GSR rally and this is the top of Kootenay Pass about 1 1/2 hours from my place.

Some images from my "THREE" wheeling past. FIRST IMAGE IS MY ENTRY, copied from my mom's scrapbook. The yellow Yamaha Trimoto 200 was the first machine I bought with my own money at age 14. The '76 Scout Traveller was the car I learned to drive in. There's also a pic of me on the Yammy delivering my newspapers, the "Pottsville Republican", which was how I paid for it, and the Honda 200X I bought brand new at 16. Last pic is after a nasty roll on the Honda left me with a dislocated wrist. Good times!

I had 200x like that one. It was fun. The 250r that followed it was, without a doubt, one of the funniest rides ever.
Have you got a single pic with a bike and three something or other for this theme? Collages could be a whole different game.

Hey Team
Well it's been a fun run but I keep running into overly criticized feedback on many of my posts as of recent and find my self coming to GSR less and less because of it. As I move forward with my life I try to only interact with positive individuals in positive situations, life is just way too damn short to not be happy and filled with positivity. Funny, it seems this thread contains most of the positive folks that are left on this site, so I'm sure this post will hit home to you folks.
Anyway there is a bunch of reasons behind my slow walk away from GSR, partially I don't really own or maintain a GS anymore. Information that I do offer up usually is met with deep criticism and skepticism. Also I find it harder and harder to relate with most... It is just so damn evident that the GSR platform is a sinking ship stuck in the torrent of negativity and a continual unchanging and un-accepting outlook to new ideas from younger contributors ("the stupid millennials") like myself. So after long deliberation I have decided that I will no longer be a contributing member here. I'll pop in once in a blue moon to say hi or respond to PMs but as an active/supporting GSR member I am resigning my commission and will be focusing my posting energy (and financial resources) to a more receptive and appreciative audience and forum.
So there are folks here that I actively interact in other platforms (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and good ole' Email) and note that I will continue to do so and look forward to continuing our mutual positive enrichment...
Also note I will obviously put a hard effort to keep attending GSR based gatherings for those are just great experiences.
To those I talk to on the (somewhat) regular basis I will keep reaching out and don't hesitate to reach out to me!
So my last entry for the game:
The 3 bikes of JedzMoto, Cafe-racer Podcast and AmenMoto... This is from last year @ Daytona and I will be seeing this guys again next week!
Thank you; to all of you that have been stellar and respectful.
There are some truly awesome people here and I'm so thankful to have met you!
My best to you all,
-Jedz

Whilst I don't completely agree with your assessment of the site, (it does ebb, flow, and ebb again over the years), you have every right to use your time where it makes you happy.
That said, you are exactly the type of positive thinking person, a site like this needs to add on a regular basis....
Thanks for playing the game this week.
But, what if you win??

I hear ya, Jedz. Do what you gotta do. Who could ask for anything more, right?
I come to GSR for this thread, for motorcycle advice when I need it, and honestly, I sometimes come with the proverbial bag of popcorn to watch some of the drama.
Vaya con dios, Justin. I will miss your contributions to this thread.

Love the pictures, Rich, especially with the cast (or wrap). The [lack of helmet] plus [3-wheeler wheelie] makes me cringe. Any other injuries?
Pottsville, eh? Home of the famous (or infamous!) Yuengling Lager.
I've been on the Yuengling Brewery tour a few times. Used to live in Reading (and in Hershey, and in Lancaster, and in Pottstown).

I grew up about 25 miles from Pottsville, still haven't done the Yuengling tour but I support the company in other ways. (They make ice cream, right?)
Yeah, riding w/out a helmet sure was dumb and I don't remember ever not wearing a helmet. Probably did it just because someone had a camera out. On the accident w/ the 200X that dislocated my wrist, I am 100% positive that the only reason I'm alive to tell the story is because of my helmet. Riding on one of the many coal roads in the area, it had just started raining hard all of the sudden, so me and my two buddies on dirt bikes headed for home. I was full out 6th gear, maybe 50-60 mph and hit a little dip. The sudden rain caused small rivulets to appear across the road. I misjudged (understatement) one and one back tire dipped into it and sent me and the trike tumbling. Afterword my buddy behind me said I hung on for 3 full revolutions and the bike turned 3 or 4 more times after I flew off. Face (helmet) down in the dirt, splayed out on my belly, left glove was missing, right one was still on but I couldn't feel the fingers on that hand. With my left hand, I pulled off my right glove and saw my wrist bent at a really bad angle. One buddy's grandparents lived close by so he went there and called my parents and an ambulance. Pottsville was closest so that's where they took me. I still carry, under the skin on my right elbow a little bit of PA bituminous from that accident.
A memorable side story: Before setting my wrist, the nurse was administering a pain blocker and asked if I'd had anything to eat that day because the medicine was likely to make me nauseous. I said no. But it wasn't long before she looked and me and handed me a pan. I must have had that look. The pile of mostly whole cherries that wound up in the pail sparked my memory that I had participated in a pie eating contest at a fair in my town earlier that day. I haven't eaten cherry pie since. That was 32 years ago.
No other injuries of note, though I had my share of crashes on my first bike, a Yamaha 250 (not my actual bike pictured, but just like it) and the two trikes. But the cumulative effect of all the crashes and sports certainly helped contribute to knee problems for which I've had surgeries for ACL and meniscus repair. Yep. Good Times.

That's a wise viewpoint for a millennial Jedz.
I agree 100%. What you have decided has been decided by many other good people over the years. It is a sad fact of internet forums that as they attract individuals who only wish to share and participate, they also attract and retain social misfits who use the structural anonymity to act out personal failings without real world consequences.
I've enjoyed looking at your photos. Your absence will be hole in this thread. All the best.
