    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

I don?t get it.

"Beauty in the eye of the beholder"....so it's something could easily be viewed as ugly to some but not to the "beholder".
Your pic is beautiful. Could never be perceived as "oh, I guess someone might find it beautiful".... :)

This is the best I got so far, but still have 2 days to find something else, maybe. This is the only pic I have of my bike in the state in which I received it (for free). Definitely wasn?t much to look at then. Roughly 15 years ago.

Used this pic for another theme but it seems somewhat appropriate.
This rusting old "pirate" ship has been grounded for at least a decade.

 
Reviled by many. Revered by us long haul types.

Dpep gets my vote.
When I bought my KZ 650 it had a Windjammer on it. On my way home from buying the bike, I'm thinking what the heck did I buy. It handled bad, it was slow... I took the faring off, the motorcycle was like a complete different machine!
 
Oops forgot to submit, oh well.

Going with Trevor this week because no matter what anyone says I think his bike is one of the most bad ass bikes I;ve seen.

Best,
 
Mr. Dpep please. Ya gotta love the wind jammer. Heavy, awkward, ugly but so much storage space.
 
Roger Burque pic gets the biggest reaction from me of “ugh, someone went to the effort and expense to do that because they thought it was cool”. I chuckle to think of roger riding along, seeing that, and posing bike for pic. Wonder if owner observed and enjoyed the , um, admiration.

don dpep pic is great pose to emphasis what some folks like and other folks don’t like about those ‘jammers. (I had one sitting in my basement for about 15 years). Good pic for theme on this forum. My vote for dpep.
 
I have to go with Trevor's this week. Sorry Trevor, but that bike ain't the prettiest on the dance floor but it sure does know how to rock and roll. It sure looked good from the driver's seat. Thanks for the memories.
 
Baatfam.

It's clever yet ugly . almost offensive-there's some useful parts there :) but the guy that did it probably loves it.

but if we're doing "Single Transferable Vote" Trevor's is second choice and nails the theme:)
 
My vote this week is for Burque 73. I hope the person who put the time and money into that car thought it was beautiful.

I was really happy that day to see you putting it through it's paces in John Day. Love seeing people's reactions when they ride it.
One time (at band camp)...Rob and I were in the US riding and we traded bikes, he was on his 78 gs1000e...anyway we were on our sena units talking and I encouraged him to "open it up"....lol...well it wasn't long before our connection was lost...he told me he hit 260kmph.... :)
