    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.

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

Cowboy, mine and Sandy sure show work in progress that has had an interruption in progress. Sandys is nicely lit.

Trevor nice pic certainly shows a lot has progressed and a lot more to follow.

Jedz, great detail, well lit, good focus on details in distance (hole threads) and near (wear marks).

Dork with his garage-studio shot.

Baattfam is nice pic that shows nice bike, I suppose the result of some work ... and shows a lot of red things, that give more interest to the pic, keeps attention.

Rich pic is kinda artistic, yet shows what work has been going on. Well lit, and details of piston in hand, and slight soft focus of those in background. I can just imagine the "Oh, look at that." when doing the disassembly.

Kerfunk is nice pic showing work has progressed and something going on at the moment, Work In Progress, with an intent look on face.

Hum..... Vote for Rich82.

And for this week's theme, I will choose "pastoral" (peaceful, especially referring to the countryside)

 
The studious photo (with the mysterious right hand) was taken in my very dark garage in March 2014. My friend Carla was attending mechanic school at the time, and I knew my new bike needed serious mechanical attention, so we were stripping it down.

About half an hour after that picture was this one:


and about an hour after that was this:


This is what we had been dealing with:


Long story short, we got the bike stripped down, and eventually I shipped everything to gsrick​ who had offered to clean and assemble it.

It was a great pic Bob and I paid attention to the fact that these bikes are always a work in progress no matter how complete and pretty they are.

I hope I understood the theme right. Often where there is tunnels there are abandoned roads around the mountain, that is rarely used. Some of them are maintained for whatever reason. On my way back from trondheim I chose to go around a tunnel. It was so nice, and there were nobody around. It was pretty overgrown, presumably from the lack of traffic. Will definitively try to actively go on these roads.
