    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.

    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.

Sandy, you should put together another rally, say June or July. We need maximum daylight hours, also warmer weather. I'd love to venture up into that part of North America.. đź‘Ť
 
Good Morning Friends! Great voter turnout this week. 19 of us voted.

I have the following count:

Trevor and Dorkburger - One vote each

dpep and Burgue73 - Two votes each

Baatfam - Four votes

And our runaway winner, with IMO, one of his best entries...

Redman (Dave) with 9 votes!

(If someone could confirm, although pretty sure Dave got it;))
 
I confirm. 19 votes -- the highest of 2019!
Congrats Dave Redman on win #6! Leading the pack!

Here's where we've been:

Thanks.

Thanks for the votes, especially when a couple of the other submissions were not too much different.
And thanks for the comments.

Will look thru some of my pics and get some ideas in next couple hours.
Will try not to be too limiting, so that more folks can participate.
 
"Under"

I know some folks might say that some of my pictures of bike parked in strange places might be because I was "under the influence........"
But cant really see that in the picture.

But I am thinking of any pic that if were to show a number of people the picture and ask them to describe it, most of them would use the word "under" fairly early on in their description. Like 'bike under blah blah' or 'yaddi yaddi under bike'.

A couple examples:
P1030039rc by Dave Redman, on Flickr

Right now, I think the first one is my submission.
BUt am not done looking thru pics yet either.
 
Love the theme, Dave...Thanks....

Hmmm....my first thought is Underwear...

Huh...

Might have to work on it...;)

i think we have had something like ?what?s up? before.

hum, is looking like not the usual amount of participation. I didn?t think folks would be lacking of pics that would fit , thought would have ?under a sign? or ?under big tree or something? or ?me under bike working on .....? or ?blah blah under bike?.
Hum, looking like I might have been wrong. Haven?t been able to think of a way to open it up, and is kinda late to completely change it to something else.
okay, my fault.

It's early yet. Your theme is excellent.
Everyone just has so many photos to look through, or they are making plans for a photo ride this week, that they are not ready yet.

It's only Sunday....and Christmas is coming...

Yup, its a broad theme that everyone should be able to find something that would fit.

A defining feature of the prairie is the big sky with clouds that illustrate its vast space and distance - 'under' the big sky.

Yes Dave, that what?s up was what I was thinking about. Carry on 🙂

"Under"
Click to expand...

First thing that came to mind was the 70's cartoon Underdog, and I remembered how he had a big U on his chest.

My wife and I rode to the Spaceport America a while back and saw what looked like a giant U out front. Maybe I missed the idea there, but that's what I'm going with this week.
 
I call this under tow, dragging a trailer behind my 80 850L. This I believe is in 2015 when I went down south to the Western States rally and picked up this engine from Bill to swap into my 80 1100L. This picture was taken on the way home at Corning Ca. just off I5 I built the trailer and hitch from the remains of a 650L. The triple tree down tubs
make up the hitch and the tree neck and bearings make up a rotating neck. The shocks were used in a cantilever axle arrangement. This allowed full lean and a very stable trailer at speed.
