    Eli69 gets my vote, thats how all GS exhausts should look like (and sound like!)
    1978 GS1085.

    Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

        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...

          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...LOL

            Nothing says "Joy Ride" like a "Certificate of performance" Trevor for me this week.

            2001 KLR650 too pretty to get dirty

            Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

              Agree with this. Nearly all of my pics are static pics and I didn’t have one that really fit the theme well enough.

                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...

                  I too have Eli's exhaust and Trevor's cop on my short list, props also to Bob for the little girl
                  but I keep coming back to marvinsc​'s muddy bike and big grin. There's my vote.

                      My guess is Rob and Trevor were having a "joyride" before the lights appeared in their mirrors.
                      Gotta go with Trevor this week.

                          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.

                            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.

                                If I remember correctly, I don't think they got a ticket for this one. Between Rob's gray hair and Trevor's B.S. I think they got out of a ticket. Correct me if I'm wrong Trevor... 🤔
