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?

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.

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...

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...

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.

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...

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

Dude, it boils down to this, you either go to the track or you don't.
You can come up with a million reasons not to, easily. I don't want to crash my bike, I want to get some suspension work done first, I want to have track plastics first, I want race-tires and warmers, etc etc etc. If you don't really want to go you'll always have a good reason not to.
If you want to go, go. If you honestly want to become a track-addict like a couple of us on here, you'll figure out a way. If you don't, you probably never will.

Absolute truth right there! Anyone can get on the track if they want. I was a total hood rat/bum and managed to do track days. I found a cheap bike and only did the cheap days with used or borrowed leathers but I got out there. I seriously raked yards to make Grattan's "open track day" every Fall. I wasn't very good and my bike was outdated and a piece of crap (RZ350) but it was fun. Of course then I got a decent job and bought a nice bike (FZR1000) ,traded in my street bike ('88 V-Max I got cheap!)and got cleaned out but you all know that story already....
You know this won't make sense but it was actually MORE fun before I got a "competitive" bike. I used to wring that damn RZ's fucking neck baby!!!! I have some pics somewhere of me at Grattan (or Gingerman), I'll post them if I can find them AND my dumb ass can figure out how to scan them and put them up!!!

Hell yeah, I'd love to have an RZ to beat on at the track.
I think that's why the Supermoto is so much fun, it's light, and doesn't have a ton of power, but I can wring it's neck at the track.

Not me. That bike sucked! I'm WAY too old to be doing all that shifting! Jesus,the "power band" was about 2000rpms thick and above um 8 or 9000 I think.... FUCK THAT! I'd rather a SV650 or something like that.

I love weird bikes, I'd love an old RZ.

Well,if I still had it I'd give it to you! It sat in my step mom's garage for years until she threw it out along with my free snow mobile and the home made go cart I was trying to build using an old Kawi enduro motor. BITCH!
