Nov 08 PotM: Submissions
 

Getting this up early so no one can complain they didn't have time to get in pics from October.

Why do I feel like this is directed at me? :lol:

I'll pick one when they show up...

Gee, I wonder. Odds are 50-1 you actually make this one. :lol:

For whatever reason my track days and subsequent photo deliveries are always completely out of sync with POTM's.... :lol:

Oh well. Should def make this one.

note to self... take pics this month to post. :lol:

jeeps did ya forget the pic cause I don't even see a :x:

Cant get it to upload. Ill try later

See if this works.

Okay, this one has to take the cake for artistic something or another. How often do you see a bike posing with a missile trail in the background sky?

Pretty cool pics!

Except that's from a jet, not a missle.

dunno... could be a missle...

sure fly boy...

well I can't see it now... but I thought it could have been a missle when I saw it this morning

Nope. That's a missile trail, buddy. It came from the direction of Alamogordo which is the home of Whitesand Missile Range.

you can also tell the contrail comes from the ground, that's definitely a missle or rocket. Unless some flyboy went vertical on takeoff.

haha fly boy... vertical on take of... HAHAHA yeah... we get it... I looped my bike...



oh... you weren't talking about me... :leaving:

and the angle is too steep for it to be flying across the sky... and with your viewing aspect... the trail should get narrower as it goes to the horizon... not wider... also the trails don't last all that long so it'd only stretch half way across the sky...

:lol:

:idk: looked like 2 streams meshed into one, meaning a jet...

guess I just don't live anywhere near a missle launch range. near missle silo's, yes... but they don't use 'em. :lol:

so i concede...


and yes ebbs, you are still a punk squid.

What a PERFECT October day and if I might say what a purdy bike:whistle:

:dthumb:

:drool:

From my last ride!!!

Here's mine... I just realized, I need a TWFix sticker... Or two...what colors are they?

red/blue/black/silver/yellow/white

Clean bike, but where's the action shot?

Beauty of an RR DIM!

ah why not?

Tig, you did a hell of a job on that bike. Looks great.

Nice looking Gix Tigger.

Clean looking GSXR. Yosh AND Akra sticker :whistle:

I noticed that yesterday. Still sweet looking though.

Yosh makes other products besides exhaust. You could very easily have products from both manufacturers on your bike at the same time.

I was thinking that too, but honestly cant remember what else they made and was too lazy to go look.

Case savers, swing arm spools, rear sets, bar ends.....

Uh oh.

Read post 33 and 35.

I did, buddy. Just trying to get him fired up.

Werd!

Tigger's an easy target...this will get him rolling.

Yeah, but who really buys those other products?! :whistle:

I've seen the Case Savers on lots of the new (08)gixxers.

I do actually. I had the Yosh programmer on my last two bikes,unfortunately it would not work on the new bike and they don't make it anymore. Also,Yosh sells stage one,two and three race kits,actually a great deal of stuff. Truth be told tho',I bought the plastic as it sits. The next set will better reflect the products that I actually use (to include Pirelli tires:whistle:). I should have the new set by Christmas according to the company. Also,according to them,it's all going to be injection molded and "exactly" the same as stock. We'll see...

:moon:

:lol:

Thanks Rider! For that matter,Akra makes things other than exhaust as well. So nyahh,nyahh,nyahh!!!

LOL
You guys sure :zowned: me. I shouldn't have said anything.

No ownage, just passing on some useful info. :dthumb:

Hey,to be honest I thought about doing something about that BUT the vinyl is clear coated in!!! Besides,I gotta write a pass for a fellow shredder! Carbon fiber Heelside with Burton step ins and boots FTW.

Does the pic of the month have to have a bike in it? I am late to the contests and too damn lazy to read the rules...Here is one I took this weekend that I am proud of. Currently my desktop...

Great shot but you should have had your bike parked on the other side of the fence.

Must have a bike or be bike related, Smiley.

Bike or no bike still looks like a perfect day! Cute kid

Thanks! I suppose I must do the deed and actually wash my bike for a pic or two...:sorry: aint going to happen today though as it is overcast and the rain looks to be here Wednesday or Thursday...

naw just make your wife throw on a bikini and wash it for ya! entertainment and a clean bike! now just don't tell her you got the idea from me... :lol:

Really Dunno wtf was going through my head...Thought it looked like a Neat picture...Kinda like Mysteriously Covered yet When its off it will Rip Ass Around the Track??

Ok Enough Banter...Heres my Entry

Seriously? Have you ever heard of focus?

PC is too fast to get a good picture of.

Now I have a few photos and can't decide which one to submit :lol:

I'd suggest that HDR photo that ebbs did for you.




Attention Submitters: HDR photo's are getting my vote.

have you ever tried to take a picture at 80 mph, of something doing 80 mph?!

With a good camera and a good photog you wouldn't know the difference.

Mommy, mommy! Some guy at the park took pictures of me and gave me free candy!

Hilarious! Wonder what the onlookers thought when I had to help him pull up his pants and dust off?:idk:

i know it was a weak excuse, i hav3e done better even with my celly, ill try again later when we are on the trace

Are pictures of Trip's wedding permissible?

Only if there is a bike in the picture....

What about a chewy?

Nick already said we can't wear our leathers to the ceremony or reception. We already asked.

It has to have a bike in the pic. I didnt make the rules. :idk: But since this is Trips place he can post anything he wants. :lol:

I have never posted pics for this contest cause it just wouldn't be fair. I can add and subtract votes from polls to make whoever I want win. :lol:

It doesn't have to have a bike in it, but it has to be bike related. You have to be able to relate it to riding in some way. Like if you rode to Mount Rushmore and took a pic without the bike in the pic, that would be something I would consider to allow. Chewy pics that aren't bike related aren't allowed.

Hey Kat, if you are around for the wedding pictures, me and A are taking a pic on my bike. My bike will be at the wedding, but I am trailering it up there.

is anyone taking their bike to the wedding? i am not talking about riding to the wedding, im talking about riding on sunday or something

Yeah the one he did came out a lot better than mine... more 'cartoony' or whatever you call it.

Although he said if you look at a higher res version it's really noisy.

:idk: what the res needs are for a front page shot

it doesnt matter what res, i adjust it if it needs to be adjusted. Just make it at least 640 wide if you can. I think the res I use is 640x480

I guess I will go with the HDR then:

That is badass.

So that's how 1hottbikechic won the contest on the old site when all those corvetteforum people were voting for their girl...

i had a picture to put in, i am now not going to put it in... damnit

Winner.

I dont do track days this sint fair

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE PIC! :dthumb:

your playing to a slightly track focused crowd... but there have been a couple winners that weren't track shots...

Thing about track shots is they're always cool shots... it's harder to find/make a compareable shot that the average member is gonna like.


take last month... mine was EASILY the best picture.... everyone elses sucked... but two were on the track so they they were cool... and well as epic as my shot was... it wasn't good enough to over come the cheap thrill of drag'n a knee on a motard...



(ok... for you sarcasam chalanged people... that last paragraph was a joke.)

Yeah Big Nahuna Wasnt a Track SHot but he had Hayden Street Sign in the Picture...Again Track Related.

I'm not mad though Maybe One day Ill get there.

Thing about POTM is To me it should be YOU taking the picture not...Kinda hard to take pictures of yourself at a trackday...Therefor id get more satisfaction out of POTM if every winner actuallly took the photo submitted

ehh naw... this is just a photo contest... not a photography contest... in otherwords it's not a who can take the best photo... but who's got the best photo... you have to have rights to it... so either you took it or your in it, and got rights from the author.

again... this is a motorcycle forum... not a photography forum ya know? there are a few of us here though that dabble in photography.

the thing to remember these are going on the front page... so as artistic as your shot of the headlight was... it got the "cool shot" reaction from me... but not something I'd put on the front page as it doesn't represent the forum IMO...

That's how I vote... you've definatly got tallent... but it's just hard to beat a track shot for the front page of our forum

I'm not Disagreeing with you...I just have my Opinion on the Matter...Trust me I def know this isnt a Photo Forum..I'm not even On any because I dont like them.

I'm just competitive so I wanna be on the front page...Lol

yeah I didn't think you were... and I wasn't try'n to argue if it sounded that way... just conversing...

I hear ya... I was hope'n last month would do it for me as it's the only month I was home riding...

but I may just have to take some intresting ones here in Korea of motorcycles to submit...

wonder if Scooters are motorcycle related :lol:

Id Say So...Shit Is Rossi can Wheelie one Thats be a cool shot!!!

Lol.

:lol: well if I saw one wheelie here it'd be cool... but as 1. I don't have my camera yet... DAMN IT! and 2. most of them are ridden by 60 year old men and they have 10000lbs of shit on the back... I'm not likely to see it...

then again... with that much weight... it's supprising they're not wheelie'n 24/7

Lol, Truth!!!

There has got to be some Cool stuff to Photograph in Korea though...Unless your in a Shit part of the Country.

yeah I'm in the shit part of the country... that is... inside the korean boarders

Truth To that Sir.

When is your Last Day?? I know you said march didnt know if you had an exact date.

well my last day in korea is in Feb... first week or so... but I'll be flying back to Alaska to pack up my shit and drive down to Mississippi. I'll be leaving AK last week in Feb... and figure 2-3 weeks later I'll be in Mississippi.

:tt:




:lol:

It's all good!

I got POTM, and was not on a track, or near a track, or even riding at the time. :nee:
Granted, there was a Buell in the pic, so it was kinda a given :lol:

kinda given that it was not at the track? or that you weren't riding... :idk:

Not at the track since I did my first one after that trip...

but given that it's a winner, cause the 1125 just is! :D

hah funny thing is theres a rossi road somewhere in cooktown. back when big posted that shot i had briefly considered zipping up there and doing the same picture just to cheese him off lol

Do you have a Rossi rep bike though?

Solution: go to the track.

Lol, Well yeah Few things I gotta do First...And I dont really wanna take the ZX6 If I dropped it I'd Be so Pissed at myself.
