Very nice pictures of Joyful rides. But, my definition of a "Joy Ride" is a unlawful, irresponsible ride. Such as "We stole the keys to my moms car and took it out for a Joy Ride". Or "I pulled the baffle out of my exhaust and went ripping up the countryside. I vote for ELI 69...My Motorcycles:

Well this was a fun theme....
Lots of good stories, and memories...and some really nice photos...
Many were joyful memories of an important ride....
Kerffunk (are you smiling in there?)
dpep - wonderful mountains/great looking trip
Cowboy's - first real ride and big smile
Rich's - early bike
Marvinsc - and that's a real smile right there
Redamn - you don't look joyful? - look aaaarrrgh - Fun photo though
Others got a loved one involved...
Mine, Gustov, Spyder, Jedz (pretty), and Burque (Joy or nerves? LOL)
And a couple involved a little extra speed...
Storm - wow, and Trevor - oops
But the one I keep coming back too, because it is visually the best photo (IMO) is Eli69
It tells a story.
"This bike and I, we are a goin' that way, and we don't know, or care, what's there."
Even the tilted horizon adds to the mystery of the road ahead.
This picture brings ME joy.....
(and it doesn't hurt this is a style of photo I love to take myself)
EDIT: Thought I would be the first to vote for Eli....I guess a little brevity might have helped...LOLBob T. ~~ Play the GSR weekly photo game: Pic of Week Game

When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

I don't really have a shot that fits this theme JUST right for this, but. I remember that day, and we did have a lot of fun, was a great day. That said, I agree with Storm on the definition of a "joy ride". The 2 that stand out in that sense to me are Eli, and Trevor. Nothing says "joy ride" more than having it certified with a speeding ticket, lol. Trevor for me this week...'83 GS 1100T

Some of the pics may be good reminders of a joyful ride, but that is not contained in the picture itself.
I do like the general pose of Eli's picture. I would like to see some more of the road ahead, and more of a scene in distance, was thinking was seeing a lot of the shoulder of the road, then noticed the open pipe - - oh, that is the intent of the pic.
Trevors joy will included a good fine, I suspect. Nice the way the pic includes the bikes and the cop car and Trev and the cop, both with items in hand that tell the story. Is something, though, to have such a smile on face, and appear jovial in that situation.
Scott Marvin's captured the joyful smile better than my pic did (dispite the fact that I had just been jumping-hopping-giddy joyful).
So I'll throw my vote to marvinsc.Last edited by Redman; 01-31-2020, 06:56 PM.

marvinsc for me as well, he looks like the cat that just ate the canary. The joy in a ride like Trevors is not getting caught.
