In response to my nomination for botm which I was too late to accept😐  I thought i'd make the effort to get a better pic.  So here she is on The King's Road from Game of Thrones.

Much nicer photo, the earlier photos were overexposed/washed out.
That complements the bike nicely, need a few more of similar quality to capture her well from different angles.  That one is good because it is taken at a vantage point that is low...too many people do it from standing and the bike does not photograph as well.

BTW, do you have a red silencer cap on the upper pipe?  This tablet is hamstrung on photos as photobucket has the images small with no  way to view larger and in the thread they are not that large on a 7" tablet  screen.
It may be very clear on a proper PC or Mac...
Thanks!
