Caption Contest No. 3

(photo by Jerry Smith)

There’s been a lull in posting here in the past few days as your faithful CGM editors took some time off to do a little paying work. We’ll be getting back to regular posts soon, but in the meantime, have a go at coming up with a good/clever/oddball caption for the above photo.

Sturgis 2010: Keepin' It Real

The Route Of All Evil: My GPS Wants Me Dead

I’m not one to anthropomorphize machines. For example, I don’t name my motorcycles, and I don’t refer to them as “she” like sailors do with their ships. But this afternoon I broke that rule for the first time.

Craigslist Motorcycle Ads Decoded: Buyer Beware

Craigslist ads are free of charge. Sometimes they're free of truth, too. Here's how to decipher some of the more common claims for bikes you see for sale on Craigslist.

Caption Contest No. 2

What's going on here? That's Willie G. Davidson on the bike, and a lot of police officers behind him, and behind them all...huh? Your captions, please, in the comment section. The best entry will win something. We don't know what it is yet, but it will be appropriate to the dignity of the occasion.

Caption Contest

What appears to be a photograph of a lumberjack and the blindfolded hostage he took during a convenience-store stick-up is, in fact, not that at all. We at CGM know what's really going on here, but we're not saying, at least not until you've had a chance to supply your own caption to this photo. In 10 days we'll pick a winner, who will be awarded a special prize, a signed copy of Harley-Davidson Bolt-On Performance by Jerry Smith. Even if you don't have a Harley, the book would be a great tax-deductible charitable donation to your local library. Or a really cool sidestand pad.
