I love the look of those pics Mark. Looks like they are painted or something??? Too cool.

Mostly just filters in Topaz Adjust that boost saturation in certain colors. In the pic with the building in the background, I chose a filter that did that and also sharpened and increased grain for a grungy, industrial look. It's sort of like a big-boy version of Hipstamatic, with all kinds of customizable effects. There are actions that can turn the photo into several different kinds of painting effects, like oil, watercolor, etc. but I didn't use those in these photos.

Over 3 weeks and no one has managed to take a snapshot of their favorite local ride? I'm getting my new chain and sprockets put on, along with front and rear axle bearings, and a few more rubber engine parts, otherwise I'd post another local ride pic. Come on guys, a cell phone pic will get this thread going again! :)

if that works, lets see your bike on a road, overpass, or bridge with some local awesome scenery in the background.
I was fixing to bump this thread yesterday. In the name of progress...I shall cheat. Technically,it's not "local",but it was at the time.  Mount Mitchell
 Next mark: Freestyle! Just go get a pic!

So Halloween is coming up...thought I may want a graveyard pic or two....
Next target is keeping with the Halloween theme....a costumed reveler on or near your bike. It could even be you riding it in costume! :)

We suck at this game. I have one bike on the chopping block now and the other is under the knife for cosmetic reasons. Hopefully the snow will hold off and I can get back in the game. I'm a little late for the Halloween motif though.

Mines in a million pieces getting a makeover and dreaming of spring. Then I'll be hitting it full force!

Ok, in the spirit of keeping the game going…….
A pic of your bike being worked on in your shop/garage/driveway, with your new favorite part in hand!
I think all of us can manage that one! lol

Good save,Mark! I need to get more pics and jump back in the game here.
Garage pics with the new F3 rims and front end for the F.
 And no new mark yet. Let's stick with the garage/work in progress pics again. Who's working on what right now?

I hate to post repeat pics (as these ones are in the members build section from 2 weeks ago) but, here's how mine is sitting now.
  What started as a plan to replace my cam chains has turned in to a whole new chopper plan.
Hard tail, motor upgrade... The works.
Shiny and Tools have already seen it.
As for the favorite new part I refer you to the cycle x website haha

Here's a few shots of my new Dyna coils and metal core wires. The PO had put Accel 5k Ohm coils and suppression core wires on the bike with the Dyna S ignition. That's why they were running so hot!

I was driving downtown where the Christmas lights were still up. Got a quick shot at a stop light of the lights reflecting off the gas tank and cap. Oh well, i thought it was neat anyway. :)

no riding here. we've had -40 wind chill . . . now it's warmed up and we expect 4" of freezing rain the 1-2" of rain before it gets close to 0°F and makes things an even bigger mess
