    I count the same....
    I was surprised that I got any votes with that mess of an entry of mine. I’m glad a better executed pic won. Congratulations Roger.

          Hey guys, I'm glad you liked that photo.
          Here's a little story to go with it. On that ride off the beaten path I found a presumably stolen car and notified the sheriff's department. I hung around for two hours to lead them from the road to a hard to find dumping spot for the abandoned mustang. When they never showed I left to go home and eat dinner. Hours later they called to say they were finally on the way. I had to try to lead them there over the phone. It's not there anymore so I'm guessing they found it.

          My last win at this game was on my birthday, just fyi. As always it's a real joy to see folks liking a pic.

          My Wi-Fi seems to be on the fritz so I'll get a new pic up shortly.

          When I saw the votes adding up I came up with an idea for a new theme. Last night I rode the KLX to the top of the neighboring Sandia Mountains for a night shot. What i didn't plan on was the twenty something degree temps and lingering snow up there at 10k feet. Anyway, at around 9pm I reached the summit and promptly grabbed hold of the engine to thaw my hands. All that to say I tried to be prepared for this but technology is fighting me this mrning.

            I think I broke my computer. It was acting weird so I set it back to a restore point from yesterday. It's still working, three hours later...

            Here's a file attachment for now, I'll fix it later. How about your bike with some lights at night. Above the lights or below the lights, doesn't matter.

            My fingers were frozen and I couldn't capture things just how I wanted.

                  Thanks for asking, Dave. Any lights will do. Key words being Bike, Night and Lights.

                  My PC is still unusable. Thanks for blowing that pic up.

                    Good description.

                    (I can predict that Dorkburger is going to present quite a challenge.)

                    Is your pic, unaltered. I just used the "Insert Image" icon, and used the "save image address" of your attached pic.

                              I deleted this to give Steve the option of using it but will put it back up just because both of our bikes are in it.
