Sorry guys, got nothing this week, just got power back this morning. But picture a bike straddling an open stinky bubbly rancid septic access hole. That was the vision anyway untill the weather hit.

Good Morning, GSR! Time to review the entries and vote.

The theme this week from Eli:

"Places you don't want to be"

Light turnout, but that should be all of them, if not, please let us know.

Some nice photos this week. Don't forget to vote.

It is close for me between Dave's Evil Knievel Bridge and Bob's shack in the woods, Voting for Bob,

Voting Carter Turk, anybody ever been on a road like that, on a bike, surely would never want to be there again.

 

[dgates1]

I'll vote Carter Turk​. That's EVERY road in North Dakota!

I'm voting for Redman. I remember being in stop go traffic going uphill on the bridge crossing from Ontario to Michigan in sweltering humid conditons on a aircooled bike.
Bike was not happy, nor was I.

 

[Eli69]

I'm gonna vote for Mr Baatfam. That's really scary. The alligator thing is a very close 2nd.

 

[steve murdoch]

Redman was an easy choice for me.
I cross a canal with the same lift bridges every single day and when they're up...it's the last place i want to be.

Baatfam for me. Always liked the tone of that pic. Creepy.

 

[Rob S.]

Baatfam. Doesn't the Blair Witch live there?

 

[gustovh]

Eli for me, we’re all headed there, I’m not in a hurry.

Good Saturday morning, all. Time to tally the votes:
Carter Turk - 2
Eli69 - 2 (counting 650Skull's late vote, I think it was actually Sunday where he is )
Redman - 2
Baatfam - 4

Looks like Bob is the clear winner with the Creepy Cabin in the woods. A second pair of eyes would be welcome.
But I think I can safely call it. Whatcha got for us for Christmas Week, Bob?

 

[Baatfam]

Thanks for doing the vote totals, Rich. I was avoiding it because I saw where it was heading.
And thanks for the votes guys.

Christmas week. How about a favorite gift. Christmas, birthday, whatever....
I've used this before, but I still remember that day.

In my defence, if the votes haven't been tallied I vote. + - I don't care.

 

[Rich82GS750TZ]

It’s all good. I’m happy for the participation.

Grandson about 2014 (he is 14 now) on a toy bike that I gave to his dad 30some years prior.

I s'pose you cant tell from the photo that it is/was a gift.
Thats okay, I aint trying to win anymore.

That is a Kidosaki KZ002.
(I had a KZ400 at the time.)
Justin really liked that little bike.
He "ran the wheels off it", well, actaully rode it till the axle wore thru the body till the body was scraping on the ground.
I then made some "bearings" for the axle by popriviting some washers to sheetmetal and then popriviting the sheetmetal to the body. And he rode it more.

Recreation of that photo when grandson about 1 year old, about 2012.

My first thread on here was 30/12/2021, been looking at the bike for a while dealing with the owner, buying a bike in another country sight unseen. My son finally wrestled my XS650 from my hands, had a couple of $'s to spare, hole in my pocket actually, and I wanted to have a vehicle to ride round when I visited in NZ. Also something to work on together in the bike shed when I visited.
Crappy Pic, (slightly edited) of the bike pics the PO sent me. She was a school teacher.

As it was around Christmas time here is my entry
