Both those pictures will score high once they get posted since Cav doesn't actually appear in either of them.

That's true...but I can guarantee the same poor result would happen with just about anybody else's mug around here.

Looks like we finally have a contest. I managed to finally find some pictures and Cav submitted his. That's 14 users that have submitted. Keep 'em coming.

OK, I just finished re-reading every post in this thread, and still cannot determine THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT DETAIL in this contest: when is the final day for voting?

Kinda like looking at the photos several times and ruminating over which would look the best on my office wall.

<edit 1 min later> And Imma be pissed if the answer is "yesterday".

I took it a step further. Now the title of the image should also appear in red if you haven't voted for it. Should make it easier to identify new photos.

I can affirmatively state that collectively, we've stepped up our game. The submissions thus far are fantastic. And I hope we get more from those of you who haven't joined in.

Moreover and regardless of how the calendar turns out, it warms my heart to realize that all of the pictures submitted, and the many (MANY) more that are yet to come (optimistically) depict my friends RIDING and ENJOYING their motorcycle. They are making memories for themselves and sharing them with us. We are not bikers and we are not posers, my friends.

We are riders.
