    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

Steve Murdoch for me


First, let me welcome recent new participants Lorenzo and 650Skull.

Unfortunately I found and posted my pic 10min late..........I'll try to be more time conscious next time and thanks for the welcome'
 
Saturday morning, y'all! and here's the count:
One for Rich, Two for Baat, Three for Trevor and a full 50% of the 12 votes going to Steve Murdoch for the win! Nice pic, and congrats!

What'll be our new theme, Mr. Steve?
 
Thanks for the votes, Gents.
Was to going to use the necessary/predictable fall colours theme but realized all my pics have been used.

Let's go with "good things come in threes". Your bike with three of anything, trees, cars, other bikes, people...

 
Congrats Steve! Good theme...thanks!

KF, thanks for filling in this morning. :cool: Life's a little crazy right now....:beguiled:
 
So a CBX for the win over an actual pic of Wes Cooley on a GS forum. Ok...got it.

LOL, Trevor. It is a photography contest, after all. Composition, leading lines, use of light and color, etc. :beguiled::smile-new:

My DL650 isn't welcome ???.............never mind, i'll keep trying to get one vote one day:)..............the only reason i'm on here is its a great site with very good information. I do own a GS650Ez but unfortunately its 2500 miles away
 
How about 3 Wes Cooley's? Mine is the first one....KiwiCanuck's is one of the the others....this was taken at my friend's "Vintage in the Valley" show that Wes attended.

your pics are welcome. Your pics of dl650 are welcome. No need to delete it.

as far as being late, you can be a little late, just might miss someone who has already voted.
 
I am a little unclear on the theme.

Let's go with "good things come in threes". Your bike with three of anything, trees, cars, other bikes, people...

The sample pic would indicate one's bike plus three of anything (in that case arches). But submissions so far show one's bike included in the three (bikes).

Which? Either?

Ahh....yes I misread this....my pic won't qualify....I'll see if I can find something else
 
I always give extra points for photos that use the theme creatively, rather than literally.

Trevor I see three pop up tent things, plus three dudes standing together to the rear of the bikes.

And there is always the Dave Redman rule, "Let the voters decide if it meets the theme or not."

Don, Trevor, You’ve both been here a lot longer than me, but you’re thinking about it too hard. Take the theme “good things come in threes”. Whether that’s your bike plus 3 things or three similar bikes or the number 3 in a pic of a sign at the roadside that also happens to have part of your bike in it. Meeting the theme, photographic merit (composition, lighting, etc.), humor, severity, and other factors may or may not have any weight in why who chooses what picture come Friday. Good photographs can win over others that better “meet the theme” but are maybe not so good technically and visa-versa. Post a pic you like. Voters will decide.
