    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

At scout camp with limited WiFi and nearly no cell service so voting early for Glen dorkburger. Lots of great pics once again.
 
Line 'em up and throw a dart blindfolded...all great shots this week, helped by the theme and you can't go wrong.

I'm going to give the nod to Burque73 this week for his play on the wording, and an honourable mention to GustovH as it looks like that is the new sidecar in action.
 
Man !
Went to make a "short list", and have eight on the list.

To comment on a few:

My pic features the bike and the road, Bike ON the road. But the resolution is a determent. Is an pic from an old digital camera, and over zoomed-in in an attempt to feature the road and minimize the stuff on side of the road.
(and if you are wondering: Around the corner a couple miles are "Road Closed Ahead" signs, and mile or so behind me is a bridge under construction.)

Storms (mine actually) is interesting. Are many features of the pic I like, mostly the wake and the reflection and how can actually see the water flowing across and over side of the pavement. And, for me, hearing Norm laughing as he went bye adds to the picture for me (but is not in the picture). The road itself is a minor feature of the picture.

I am impressed that Trevor, in that situation especially, thought to get a picture. Intersting place to park, and the lines on pvement seem to point to the bike.

Dorks is an interesting scene, for the sky and clouds and all. WOuld have liked to have seen more of the road.

Cowboy did well with a tough situation of the spotty sun. A great scene. A top contender. The bike and the road, bike on the road. If Had found a differnt spot maybe with the facing side of bike better illuminated, that could have put it over the top.

I choose bob baatfam for a vote, based on my tiebreaker consideration of the road being the major element of the picture, and it being well composed. Really shows what the ride is like. Really shows the road. And I will admit to having been impressed with that pic before, and having copied the general composition a few times.

My count was a little different (I counted 3 for dork and 5 for baat), but baatfam still has the clear win.
Second win, congrats Bob!
And thanks for the theme. "New and old"

Initially I submitted a pic of my second bike (1982 GS1100GL, bought from ddaniels) next to my first bike (1982 GS550L)
but I like this better for the theme. The old drive splines (right) being replaced by the new (left)
