Pic of the week game

[Grimly]

Gustov's simple repair that turned out to be a total pain in the donkey.
I've never had a tube split all the way round like that.

It did put the breaks on for that days ride. The good thing is the tire held enough air to get me to Leavenworth where it went flat overnight. We replaced the stem with a tubeless one and now I don't use a tube anymore.

Rich for me!

[cowboyup3371]

Redman for me

[storm 64]

oh oh..... i am supposed to be hosting Thanksgiving dinner....gonna need another plan.

I vote for Steve Murdoch. No need to make room for Thanksgiving dinner. I feast my eyes on this collection of motorcycles, that is thanks giving enough...

[dorkburger]

Uh oh. Better slow down.
Voting for Baatfam.

[Redman]

Many pics I said "Oh Oh...".
Some I said "Eessschhhh....that aint good...."
Mehall, I said "huh what, bicycle sticking out back of a Beemer RT....."
Rich, I said "Oh Oh...Owwww. But good thing the glove came off."

Jedz great use of depth of field (some call selective focus).

Deciding between Richs stark pic and baatfam great pose and composition, On baatfam pic I noticed the great scene and thought the sign was a distraction, the only distraction in the well posed scene bike-road curve-foliage , then realized that, no, the sign is intended as part of the scene (oh, Oh... oh.....).

Voting for Bob baatfam. The photo is documentary and great composition and tells something of a story for us motorcyclist.

[steve murdoch]

A big hit from '87....Glove Removal Machine by The Cult.
Rich gets my vote.

[Redman]

Saturday Morning (I checked)

Vote Tally

With 1 each: trevor, grimly, eli, gustov, SteveMurdock.
With 2 each: redman, baatfam
With 4 votes: Rich82

Someone can confirm. But looks like Rich82 has the high honor of naming the next theme.

Wonder if we ever had so many getting a single vote.
Wonder if we ever had 8 of the 15 submissions getting votes.
(maybe indicative of a poorly suited theme for a photo contest. Most entries were documentary.)
(but maybe okay for a fun game to entertain us on a motorcycle forum)

Coming back from TN yesterday from my 2-wheeled weekend with my cousin. .
.

Tell us more about bicycle on back of motorcycle.

I can confirm the tally.....Nice (ouch) one, Rich!

(Dave, I think the results indicate an excellent theme )

[Rich82GS750TZ]

Ok. Now I know what you guys like to see. Blood and guts. This was really unexpected to get even one vote. Never know I guess. Thanks all.

It’s that time of year for the obligatory fall photos. New theme is “Autumn/Harvest”. That should be sufficiently broad. I’ll try to get a new pic this week but will leave this one here for now.

not my entry, placed as an example:


This is my entry:

Tell us more about bicycle on back of motorcycle.

Sure. Like some others here, cycling is also a passion of mine and it's the rare occasion when I can combine both on the same trip. The bike on the back of the RT is my beloved Specialized S-Works Tarmac which has been my primary road bike for the last few years. I put about 5k miles on the Tarmac every year and ride mostly with some great friends who help keep me accountable for fitness. It's a nice carbon frame with a Shimano 11 speed Ultegra Di2 groupset plus some hand built carbon wheels. For those who don't bike, Di2 is Shimano's version of electronic shifting. Instead of cables, the front and rear derailleurs have motors which move the chain up and down the gears when I hit the shift buttons. So, I just bolted on a bike rack and wheel holder to the luggage rack of the RT to carry my bicycle. It's some serious redneck engineering, complete with the ratchet straps to keep it from swaying

Ah. Was wondering how it was mounted.
