Well, almost the whole first page is polls, so here is a thread that isn't. I am putting out a call for awesome pictures, allow me to explain further, this is not as random as it seems.

The program I am in at school (motorcycle technology) is fading away as a result of low enrollment. I live in a town I hate, in a state I never wanted to be in and this school is about the only thing I have going for me here (other then the gf, the reason I am here in the first place) so I have made it my personal mission to keep it going as long as I can. I have started putting out flyers around town, but currently we only have one. It is a picture of a guy on a dirtbike with all our info and classes.

I want to get more peoples attention, thus the need for pictures. I have a dirtbike, so I need a sportbike, a Harley, and maybe any other niche things y'all can think of. Please, I am open to suggestion here, any help I can get is appreciated.

So I want a picture of you on your SV doing something cool. I want to use an SV just because it would make me giggle, so start posting em up. I want some knees on the ground here folks, track or street is fine, but I might not use the ones that are obviously illegal (do want to make the school look responsible after all.) Probably gonna do one with a naked and an S just for variety, so alls fair.

As far as the other pictures go, I need some ideas. I mean, I could just put a picture of a Harley on it and call it good, but I want people to really stop and look at these. Any Harley guys out there, what images do you see that make you all weak in the knees. I know what sportbikers like, that is easy, but I don't know what to do for Harley guys around here. Post up some ideas if you have any.

Thanks guys, I am hoping this could turn into a fun thread, and not just fade away into last-weeks-thread land.

I remember a members picture a while back where they were dragging knee on a turn giving a thumbs up. I can't remember for the life of me what the thread was called or whose it was. I'm trying to track it down, if I can find it I'll post it up and we can ask their permission to use it. Probably one of the coolest pics I've seen in a while.

Just found a good thread with great pics: http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=94261

don't know if this will help, but I remember a really cool magazine ad that I saw once. It was a guy sitting in a dim lit garage with some kinda bike part in his hand, like some clutch plates or something. In the back was a half disassembled sportbike, tools all over the place, a really nice shot of the guts of the bike. The caption was something like "here we go again, another 15 minute job turned into a 12 hour session. An endless cycle of destruction and creation, genuis/madness, etc etc"
That really caught my eye as a rider, cause I think it's something we're all very familiar with. Doesn't matter if you're on a harley or a sport bike.

I'm not really sure what your program is about, wrenching or theory, but another great inspirational shot would be the britton bike. And a caption that explains how one man built a race bike in his garage that beat major manufacturers that spent millions in development.

Awesome, we got some good ones. I agree that the ad would work great, but I don't think I can use it. I need pictures from private parties (you folks) that allow me to use them. So bonus here is that whatever pictures I use, the person in them will be immortalized on a flyer and posted all over Prescott. Keep em coming, got some great ones so far.

What type of class is motorcycle technology?

 

[NTJordan]

Fancy words for "Im learnin myself to be a motorcycle mechanic!" We like calling it "motorcycle technology" because it makes us feel smart

Some dirt bike shots of me, I think they're cool:

People that might be interested in the mechanics side might like some disassembly or garage pics, too:
