YAY!!! my first time posting in this topic!!! this guy lives down the street




Next challange:
Your bike next to your town/city population sign....

[mister]

I live in a city of 1.8 million people. I don't think I've ever seen a sign which said, "Welcome to Brisbane, population 1.8 million". And I've lived here for over 20 years and driven all around this town - as a professional driver besides just driving around having a look see.

I can get a "population of" sign, but it won't be of the city I live in. Nearby - outside the city. Will that do?

Yeah, neither does Orlando/Kissimmee

I live in a city much smaller than Brisbane and Orlando.  But no "population" sign here either. 

I would think another city would be fine... 

[skudman]

yea, another nearby city will work, just shows that you like to ride!!

thats one big  from me

This seems to be a challenge... As far as I can tell these do not exist in the metro area, at least not with printed populations.

I did find list of said signs which may help kick start this http://www.waymarking.com/cat/details.aspx?f=1&guid=879cee5f-a735-43ab-b282-56b45072506b

[jfinstrom]

I was wrong... Using google street view I found one nearby... If I can get a picture without getting a ticket

[mister]

Git er done.

I just rode over 300 miles yesterday through a bunch of smaller places. And all the little towns that used to have signs with their population, have replaced their signs. Now they just say...

"WELCOME TO
TOWN NAME
Part of xxxxxx"

...in various font sizes, of course. So all you see is the welcome and town name. AND, they're all done in the same style. With the xxxxxx being something about the area - scenic rim, such&such valley, so&so ranges, etc.

went to go do my rear brakes and adjust my chain and was going to grab a snap shot on the test drive.   Turns out I am at the end of my adjustment  soooooo now I am going to hunt down a chain on a sunday afternoon....

[jfinstrom]

ok i did it.... chain rear rotor and...... the picture...

[jfinstrom]

lets make the next one easy and give two options.....

1. Next to a Harley
or
2. With a stereo type biker on it ( big dude beard tattoos leathered out the kind of guy who you call tiny  )

[mister]

Harley has been done. Was listed as Hog.

So does that mean the challenge is... typical biker looking dude sitting on your bike?

That might be too difficult. Yes, it requires permission from another person and that always ends in a Fail (unless you know someone). But, those guys find it hard to get a leg over a highseated bike like the GS - highseated compared to their low seated cruisers.

Okay then lets say in front of a Mexican restaurant.... Tacobell does NOT count but the little burrito shacks like fillibertos (in az) do!!11!
