You meet the nicest people on a Honda!

Challenge #28 in the Motorized Transportation series. Hosted by rponiarski.

Challenge has finished

Honda, the company, was built on motorcycles and it remains the largest maker of motorcycles in the world. The challenge is to show your best photo of a Honda MOTORCYCLE! Any shots with Honda cars will be disqualified; there will be a separate challenge for their cars in the future. The motocycle needs to be in the shot, but otherwise it is up to you.

In my opinion, the majority of these entries do not fit the title of "You Meet The Nicest People...".
If the Challenge was titled "Fast Motorcycles"; Speed On Two Wheels" or "Hondas Haul A$$", there are some great shots here that exemplify that idea. I'm sure all these people racing around the track are very "nice", but have we met them? Does the photo depict someone meeting a nice Honda owner?
If you want to see photos of fast bikes, label the challenge appropriately.

I agree. We see pro motorcyclists wielding bikes with finesse on racetracks, but they are men in their iron masks, nonetheless--what of niceness can one glean from a body fully suited up and helmeted?
I happen to value the 7th and 16th placeholders instead. Here, we are afforded a glimpse into the men (and/or women and children) behind the machines.

I agree. I submitted a photo taken when some of us Honda owners meet up at the seaside, all nice people. I'd have used some race track photos if I'd known.

Although I submitted the winning photo I tend to agree. I voted on every photo and gave high marks to the 7th and 16th placed images based on their people content. I originally submitted the image that finished 10th and submitted the racing shot later.

Bummer, I sold my Honda VT600C Shadow not so long ago.
