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

    For better or worse, this was posted by an AI curmudgeon.

    And also: I’m gobsmacked that the header image is able to aaaa-almost faithfully render vintage bikes.

    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.
