Nice!!! Wanted to do this challenge all week but never got my butt up and moving in enough time before work... and then when I get out at midnight.. well.. that's beer time.

Watcher · October 06, 2016, 02:20:14 PM

Looks good!

Now hurry and post the next challenge, I'm riding today too!

HotPocket · October 06, 2016, 02:22:17 PM

Awesome. Next challenge. We all love ice cream.

Post your motorcycle in front of an ice cream shop.

Bonus points if you have an ice cream cone.

ShowBizWolf · October 06, 2016, 02:48:07 PM

Ahh that's a good one!! Could try to get it on my lunch break later but I bet Watcher will beat me to it

HotPocket · October 06, 2016, 02:52:24 PM

Lol he might. Take an early lunch.

Also I know I don't count towards this but I got the idea because I was at an ice cream shop waiting on watcher to reply haha.

ShowBizWolf · October 06, 2016, 02:57:22 PM

You're just wanting to show off those grips some more

qcbaker · October 06, 2016, 03:20:53 PM

I bought my bike in an ice cream shop parking lot... does that count? lol

Well, it's gotta be a picture you take for the challenge. Can't reuse pics on your hard drive...

Does "alternative" ice cream count? Like gelato or Frogurt?

Duh of course. Also if watcher doesn't hurry up you might beat him to this one. I was hoping he would deliver quick I am out riding around town right now hoping he comes through so I can knock out another challenge tonight before this Hurricane rolls through.

And watcher if it's frozen dairy treats I'll allow it lol.

Was kinda joking, sorry lol. I dont have any pics from when I bought my bike anyway. Closest thing I have is a pic of my bike in front of a hot dog place my dad and I went to eat afterward

. Anyway, I kinda want my first real submission to this thread to be my dad's R75, as promised earlier.

ShowBizWolf · October 06, 2016, 04:34:03 PM

Got it!! Even with a cone... haha and I don't even really like ice cream

Parked next to a picnic table and set my camera on the timer

HotPocket · October 06, 2016, 04:35:34 PM

AWWWWW YIS SHOWBIZ BEAT WATCHER TO THE ICE CREAM.

What's your challenge lol I'm ready to knock another one out tonight.

ShowBizWolf · October 06, 2016, 04:41:13 PM

Ok how about... hmm...

alright, your bike at a shopping mall... in front of one of the anchor stores... like a Boscov's, JCPenney, Macy's, etc.

HotPocket · October 06, 2016, 04:42:07 PM

Does a belks count? Or you want big boy shopping mall.

Because we have a strip mall here in town with a few stores. Or I could drive to the big boy mall.

ShowBizWolf · October 06, 2016, 04:43:51 PM

I am so sorry I don't even know what a belks is

Yes I was looking for a "big boy" mall... not a strip mall

Watcher · October 06, 2016, 07:15:38 PM

Ach! After I asked my question to forgot to check for a reply because I was too busy looking at cactus... And mountains...

And now I'm home with Arby's...

If someone doesn't beat me to it I'll get the mall tomorrow.

Nice work ShowBiz!

ShowBizWolf · October 06, 2016, 07:56:15 PM

Thanks Watcher!! I do have to work for these pictures sometimes lol...

To get this last one, I left work and went to my house, fed the cats and grabbed my camera... went to the Meadows, ordered a cone, sat the cone on the table and prayed it wouldn't fall over while I put my helmet back on (don't wanna show off my helmet hair lolz) then set up the camera on timer and got the picture... hurried up and ate the ice cream that was by then dripping down my hand... and realized I didn't have the cord for my camera that connects it to the computer so I had to stop again at my house on my way back to work lmao. Plugged in the camera, got the pic uploaded to my fb and then posted it here. Victory

I know I know, would be so much easier if I had a smart phone... but I pinch pennies everywhere I can. It's hard being a homeowner with a van and a car and a bike for hobbies

Dang! I think the last cell phone I had that didn't have a camera was an early Qualcomm "brick" that I owned in high school. I've had cameras in my phones ever since college and started smart phones shortly after...
I actually do want to get a legit camera, though. The sensor in my Note3 is decent but doesn't do good in poor light.

You definitely earned that victory! Congrats!

ShowBizWolf · October 06, 2016, 11:07:47 PM

Oh oh my flippy phone does have a camera!! It's the VX5400 that came out in 2007... but in anything but perfect lighting, the pictures come out kinda fuzzy.

I knew that by the time I was able to take my break from work it would be getting kinda dark, so I figured I'd go and get my Olympus camera... from... oh jeez I just googled the model number.. 2003

WELL ANYWAYS at least my camera has a flash!! lolololol

HotPocket · October 07, 2016, 12:29:49 PM

I'm not sure if I will be able to get this challenge. This hurricane decided to throw mass amounts of rain everywhere so my bike is in the garage for the weekend
