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 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.

Pic of the week game

Such great interpretations of the theme. Man, this gets more fun every week. Harder to pick one though. :-k

If I don't just pick one it'll eat at me all day. I know exactly what to do.

I'll have another cup of coffee.
 
Voting for Burque73. It's well composed, beautifully lit and exposed, perfect for the theme, and speaks of the current pandemic shut-down situation.
 
I don't ride at night very often but I am enjoying the night shots. My vote is for dorkburger.
 
The night scenes from Dorkburger and Burque are excellent. Both show technical skills and the fine ability to compose. Well done.
For meeting the theme best, the empty road, an empty sky and empty lake, my vote is for the image by Redman.
 
Some excellent pics, but I'm going for cowboy's one as I have a thing for old and abandoned buildings that look as if they only need either a touch of TLC or a match. :)
 
OK, been mulling over this long enough.

I got a kick out of Trevor's shot, so his gets my vote this week.
 
Cool scooter, night time, empty street, Glen (Dorkburger) this week for me.
 
Man! My short list is 3/4th of the submissions.
Maybe I am getting more indecisive , or maybe they are all that good, but each in a different way. Any critisim of any of those would be just minor things.

Agemax really shows details, and shows where all the other items are missing to make it empty.
Baatfam looks like had to use some photo skill, and interesting use of available lighting, and interesting that shows the light on the floor to show empty parking area in garage.
Trevor is an action shot, can tell something needed gas, so empty tank. Also shows puzzlement over how to operate a new gas can hee hee.
RIch nicley posed empty frame. Kerry K'funk shows what only see when move in (or out) with empty cabinets.
Dork nice night pose, would look to be posed for "empty" if saw more of the street. Somewhat Similar comment for Roger Burque.
RKroby does show long empty road, Do T's stand up that straight on sidestand? Or maybe is propped up on a stone or something to pose that way. (I have done that a few times.)

For pic that held my interest, is the most pleasant, and says empty, I'll vote for Burque by a narrow margin over 5 others.
Nicley exposed night shot. Interesting lights, shining/reflecting off the bike. Empty streets, sidewalks, storefronts, parking meters all give the idea that should be other stuff and other activity there.
 
Good morning .

That was a real fun group of pics from everyone. It seems like there has been more broad interpretation lately which adds a lot to the enjoyment of this thing.

I counted 13 submissions with 14 votes.

My count
Rkrby 1
Dorkburger 2
Agemax 1
Redman 1
Trevor 3
Cowboy 1
And my photo recieved 5.

Pleas verify my count on these. I was up way too early and my eyes kinda hurt from the lighted screen here.

I don't think my photos have ever won two weeks in a row. Thank you for the votes.

We are heading out for the day here shortly so I'll try and get something up for the new theme in a few.
 
Roger, your numbers are correct. You are leading the pack with five wins! Congratulations!
By my reckoning, three other GSR folks have won twice in a row: Trevor, Jedz, and Agemax.
We've done something like a hundred and twenty three contests.

You know the drill...

Confirm, Mr Roger Burque, with 5 votes.

Yes, that was an interesting topic-theme, a picture of something that is not there. Bob baatfam's pic made me realize that, with the light shining on the empty floor and rest of garage darker.

Okay, Roger, what you got for us this comming week??
Hey, you are the winning-est one here.
 
Since mother's day in the US is tomorrow, lets do a mother theme. If your mom isn't around or won't get near your bike, interpret mother as you will.

Mother.

I look like I'm 6'4" tall next to my mom. In reality, she's only 4'9" though. haha
