          Let me know of any problem.

            Being Christmas Holiday day, maybe folks are occupied (I just finished getting roast in oven).
            What does anyone say about maybe giving extra time for voting, say, maybe till noon Saturday? Dont want to add an entire other day, since next week Friday is holiday also......

              Glen's shot is artistic and spectacular BUT Steve Murdoch's shot screams "some assembly required" and it gets my vote this week.
              sigpic2002 KLR650 Ugly but fun!
              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.

                Good thinking, Dave. I agree. Noon Saturday Eastern Time should give enough time.

                  I'm voting for Steve Murdoch as well - that just screams the "pieces" part of it

                    Voting for 1978GS750E. I don’t know what it is about his pile of bits and bobs that make it stand out any more than anyone else’s parts and pieces. Maybe it’s the rods and reels.

                          Many pics show how have parts on hand, or something disassembled. All enjoyable, and scenes that most of us here find (whereas general public or of folks on other mo'cykle forums, may not).
                          Good topic-theme.

                          Six pics on my short list....

                          Rich's seems to be an entire bike.
                          SteveMurdock pic of shiny and nicely painted parts made me want to get it assembled so can see it together.
                          Dpep pic is parts over a background so is pic of only parts.
                          Bob baatfam has a bit different idea, as he often does, nicely arranged and exposed. Good close up detail.


                          Burque nicely arranged parts, on shiny surface, and the glisten of the machined surfaces, is interesting.
                          Dork artful symmetrical arrangement and the play with the light and makeshift studio background is stunning. Great photographic and artsy skill, and imagination to pose and light that. Impressive.
                          Having to decide between these two.

                          Vote for Burque, the tie breaker being that the parts are the main elements of the pic.

                            Sounds good, Dave. Now I can procrastinate a bit more and look over the pics again. LoL

                            Edit: The more I look at these pics, I realize I keep coming back to Baatfam's. Clever composition. Voting for Baatfam.

                              The cavalcade of carbs from Sandy gets my vote.
