It's safe from me until the 26th.
Car show near the Blue Ridge Parkway, with BBQ and a rally.  Seems like a good destination.   :woohoo:

Car Show... are you talking about something like just a meeting/gathering/show&shine of car enthusiasts - or - a full on bona fide once-a-year car show with tents and tables and booths with info about the cars on offer?

I interpreted the challenge the way you first defined it.  I'd accept either one, if it was up to me!

'97 GS500E Custom by dgyver: GSXR rear shock | SV gauges | Yoshi exh. | K & N Lunchbox | Kat forks | Custom rearsets | And More!

Novas86

yes either one but please i think two cars doesn't count so lets say atleast 5 cars of showable note? any objections?

TheRealSpinner

Got it.  Sorry for the quality.  The pic doesn't really show how many cars were there, but there were at least 15 or 20.



The show was a hosted car show every other week, this week happened to be a 2-wheeler day.  I entered mine, but it didn't win.  I was late to the show, and all 9 people already voted.  Only 5 motorcycles entered...  this is the bike that won "Best of Show"

Your GS going by an electronic speed limit sign showing you going SLOWER (but not ZERO) than the posted speed limit.

If this freshershest-thread-ever gets spoiled by petty fighting, I'm gonna be so mad.

Spinner:

Keep the speed indicating sign challenge thing if you want. But I reckon it's gonna be a FAIL cause it requires two people to accomplish it.

A speed indicating sign - I assume the type that shows your speed, right - is one thing. A pic of you riding past it is another. BUT, I could be wrong.

Hey, it could be done.  Maybe somebody on a group ride, or even: park the bike under the sign, camera in hand, run toward the sign so that it picks up your running speed.  Your speed would be slower than poster, maybe just a bit blury.  I have faith in people on this forum...

More faith than me. we couldn't even get a cop in a picture with your bike LOL.

The only speed sign I know of is on the Osceola Park way and well I value my life.

I have one of those damn speed signs maybe 2 blocks from me. Now to figure out HOW to get the pick with it showing other than 0. Guess I could try the running thing, though..I may get some strange looks.... :confused:

Park on the sidewalk and wait till a car drives by.  
If you feel like jumping to the command of a hipster in a Castro hat. 

I wonder if they have an interface...

Alright, let's try this again...  How about your bike disassembled.  In at least 10 pieces (not including fasteners--nuts, bolts, etc.).

DOH!

Dude... the game isn't about seeing Who, if anyone, can get the challenge - but - who can get it First.

MY take on them is, if YOU, as the challenge issuer, cannot get them, don't post them. This way, if others fail to get them you can at least Complete them and we can move on.

There's maybe only one or two Players who maybe, may, might, have their bike in some pieces at the moment - if they even happen to follow the thread. Otherwise you have just excluded everyone. And we wait another week.

I vote you pick something else. There's heaps of things it could be... hair salon, oneway street sign, hedge, excavator, disposal store, etc. All everyday Things in and around our suburbs. Things we Ride to, to get.
