    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.

    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

My son got this engine guard for me. A lot less worry about breaking something important when I tip over. Which happens with this bike for some reason....

Even though technically “on vacation” til next Monday, I rode to the office today for annual Christmas Eve Lunch and to receive ham we get every year. Treated the Tiger to a mud bath on some mountain roads, then a good wash. Was crisp but sunny so a nice little ride.
Merry Christmas all. This pic will have to do unless I get any surprises in my stocking tonight.

Someone else will have to post the roundup today. I’m out of town, on my phone. Can’t figure out if Vince meant to post a pic or not.
 
I want to know the story behind that one

I'll vote for Skull.

Regarding 2013 Gladius 650, a friend saw the ad on CL & told me.
The bike had less 4k miles & was left by a roommate who got a job on the east coast.
His roommate got notice from the landlord that he'd be moving back in, so the bike had to go.
I sold it after putting a battery in it & some used SV forks. Fun zippy bike, but had low grade suspension.
 
I could do a summation now, but is only 5 submission over 7 posts, so I think we will do okay.


>>Later note: I did a summation later, 3rd or 4th post below.

The wife and I were out most of today. Sorry I couldn't do the summation.
We could extend this game for a week due to the holidays. Just an idea.

I like Skull story about buying bike sight unseen in remote loacation, other country no less, and then stuff happened and didin get to bike for almost 2 years.

I like Carter T story about free bike. ANd nice portrait photo in nice pleasant scene.

But for picture for the theme, Richs pic says gift ham to me, maybe because for 12 years I got a turkey from an employeer and then later for another 10 years I got a ham from an employeer...... but I dont think I ever picked it up on motorcyckle.
Oh, wait.... wait......
Yah, Bob's pic.....yah, Bobs pic (maybe I should do a summation). Bobs pic, motorcycle at Christmas Tree with other obvious gifts around. Without getting tangled up if Bob ever owned that bike, I'll vote for Bob Baatfam pic.

Later note>> Oh, the StarWars toy would date the photo to maybe 1978 or 79 or 80 or so, so , yah, that could be Bobs photo of his bike and his kids (not Bob being one of the kids like I thought for a while har har har).

We’re on a mini vacation/weekend getaway in downtown Lancaster PA. It’s only 2 hours from home. A nice small city that I never gave much thought to. My wife is great at finding places like this. They have a beautiful old theater downtown where tomorrow we’ll see Elf, the Musical. Heard it’s a hoot. We both like the movie a lot so looking forward to that.

Dave, thanks for doing the summation. Still don’t know if Vince had intended to submit a pic. I click on his link and get a different FB Reel each time.

anyhow, voting for Baatfam.
 
I live in the country so can't imagine a Christmas without a country ham. Daddy always boiled them in a lard-stand till the mid 60's when they quit soldering the seam and started gluing them together,.. Got to vote Rich.
