Maybe once the community has more activity we can get a vote going on images people submit?

A comfy home in for our dear "VCR" Vintage, Classic, Retro Motorcycles
Fell free to post pictures, discuss anything that looks like an old motorcycle, from vintage parts and tools to neo retro ECU remapping, road trips, mecanical tips, restauration help, communities meetings... whatever kickstarts your engine.
-
Vintage: Mostly more than 40 years old, historically significant.
-
Classic: 20 to 40 years old, original condition, timeless design.
-
Retro: neo-retro bikes, new but designed to look like older bikes with modern technology.

Using AI generated image here is done on purpose: the banner has to look right, with realistic motorcycles. But without using copyrighted material, or showing actual bikes to avoid suggesting one is better than another.
I used Midjourney 6.1, it was my first attempt at using an image generator, and was pretty surprised by the good loking results.
With that said, I would happily use member photos, icons or artwork if they fit the description up there (so: not so close to see motorcycle badges, and released in public domain), everything is arguable if it's better : let's do it.
Thanks for the explanation.
I'd be an advocate for allowing visible make/model badges. If there's a concern about promoting one brand, the header could be rotated every couple of months to highlight contributors bikes.
That sounds good, will see if/when people actually join this community. I donβt know how it will do.
