Title: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: jroymcd on November 20, 2008, 10:26:49 PM
Name a place or thing to take a picture with your GS500. First person to go out, take, and post the picture picks the next one. Must be a picture taken after the challenge picked. Try not to make it impossible. no photochops. If nobody else gets the picture within 1 week the person that picked it can choose a new one.  New challenge must be picked when picture of the last one was posted

I will start and make it easy to get the game rolling

Take a picture of your GS in your Garage.

anyone?

Post a picture of your GS on a bridge.

Edit:  Ooops!  Violated the rule on the photo must be taken after the challenge is issued.

I will try harder in future!   :icon_mrgreen:

yeah,  game would not be as fun if you can use old pictures. I  just wanted  to start easy to get the ball rolling.


Still.....

Take a picture of your GS in your Garage.

Ok, since GeeP violated the rule, I can start.  And show off my crap-filled garage!  WooHoo!

I took my bike to get inspected today. She's a week old (to me). Man, my fingers were cold!

I'm headed out til Sunday. I'll check back in and see what the request is. I'm planning on riding so long as it's dry out.

Thought I might beat you to it, but the two statues I can think of here in Statesboro are on Main street, and not so easy to park nearby for a pic.  Well, one is easy to get to if I ride up on the sidewalk.... But it's at the courthouse!  Too many police cars trolling around for that.

Waiting for the next challenge.

I almost made the drive out to another town where there's  a "touchdown jesus".
It's outside a church, it's huge and his arms are out to the sides a little more exaggerated than usual, making it look like he's making the "touchdown" referee hand signal.

If it were summer and not threatening to rain or snow every 2 seconds, I'da been there. So, you'll have to settle for St. Jude and Mary.

I think that the first post should be updated from time to time with information what places, things or ideas were already used in a game so there is no repetition in the future.
Eventually it will be hard to remember what has been used and what has been not, so a list of used ideas would be handy.

Just my 2 cents to improve this awesome game  :thumb:
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: brooklyn_93 on November 28, 2008, 10:16:05 PM
RULES :

Name a place or thing to take a picture with your GS500. First person to go out, take, and post the picture picks the next one. Must be a picture taken AFTER the challenge is picked. Try not to make it impossible. NO photochops. If nobody else gets the picture within 1 week the person that picked it can choose a new one.  New challenge must be picked when picture of the last one was posted.

Already used :

1 - your garage
2 - on a bridge
3 - in front of a statue
4 - with a plate of Thanksgiving fixins
5 - with your pet
6 - with a slurpee
7 - in a drive thru
8 - in front of a church ( not done yet )

This is my girlfriend Laura... She was in bed sleeping when i woke her up and begged her to go out into the garage and take a pic on my GS. She wasn't very happy about it and SHE picked out the next pic necessary. Because she had to have a pic taken in her pajamas SHE wants the next pic to be ...

Take a pic ON your bike IN YOUR PAJAMAS.

Take a picture of your GS with reindeer horns on it, but not in your garage or the like.  Must be in a populated area, and extra points if you have a Santa hat attached to your helmet.

GS in a Bouncy Moon Castle
GS parked in front of biker bar, with training wheels attached (bonus points for pink stringers from handlebars)

Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: wladziu on December 02, 2008, 09:49:22 AM
Yes, either.  I was trying not to make it incredibly difficult. 

Hopefully not the little antlers from the pet store, the ones for dogs.  Something that can make the kids happy, you know.  If you can tie on a Santa bag with presents, well.....  you'll be a god among men.  Or something.



Can we make a stipulation for people who don't just stick to the bare minimum?  A way to still keep it fun, easy, and enjoyable, but a fun bonus for someone who goes out of their way to enhance the community's enjoyment?  Maybe like a prize:  a sticker or a patch or a gift certificate for the best photo after a certain time period, like every 6 months or so.  I'd donate for it....

Post by: wladziu on December 04, 2008, 09:18:41 AM
Killed the game? 

They have the stuff at Walmart, if you don't get caught in a stampede of trailer trash.  Santa hat, wooden dowels, brown fabric, your choice of adhesive, two cable clamps.  An hour to find the stuff, an hour to make it, and then ride around and make kids happy for as long as you want!


Two dowels about 2.5 ft long, two about 1 ft long.  Make a cross out of them, clamp it with zip-ties or whatever's strong enough, then cover it with fabric or just paint it.  If you wanna be awesome, make more "crosses".  Clamp it to your headlight brackets if you have an E model.  If an F, then you're on your own.  Just drive slow, and make sure you clamp it securely.
Santa hat: no need to make one if they don't sell one large enough.  Just get stick-and-peel velcro or something and stick that to your helmet up around the crown in the rear.  Stick the hat to it, then just let it hang down like a flap.  Kudos if you wanna do something better. 

No need to make something highway worthy, unless you want.  Just something to putt around in, so kids get a kick out of it.  It's kind of like a community service thing, you see.  If you don't want to do it, that's fine.  Previous winner should pick another topic.  Fine by me!

My E model is still in pieces, or I'd have this already.

Oh well, I'll be back home Friday for winter break. I can finally play this game!

Nobody is going to the library?  Don't you realize they have FREE books and movies there!?!?  They just give them to you.  I got "Total Control" and "Proficient Motorcycling" and "More Proficient Motorcycling."  I also just reserved one on carburetors, "Modern Motorcycle Carburetor Tuning," published in 1976.  Maybe they don't have the most recent books, but the GS carb is a really old design anyway.

OHGood I don't want this  :2guns: to happen to you. If they ask tell them should have seen the look at the local hardware owner when I ran into the shop to get some batteries for my camera to do the pic the other day!

I have a neighbor at my apartment complex that has a gs500 but I haven't seen it uncovered in forever. Hmmm, was at the dealer today where I got my bike and saw two other Gs maybe I should say also not from the dealer. But, I guess it would really cut the chances then!

They came on with it, they are off now.  I just don't like the look of them, the pink brackets didn't really set them off either....  But PM me if you are interested, I am in the process of returning the bike to stock.  I like the single headlight look better, plus it hides the wiring.

Those are too funny. I guess the firetruck was a premonition of things to come got hauled off on the 31st and just got out yesterday nothing like bronchitis, colitis, and a blocked power port to start the new year! At least the bike can drink don't know what'd  happen if I tried to drink.

I think I can get the BMW tomorrow when I get home. There is one that parks next to me!

Or I was thinking of sitting my big antique globe on the bike so it can feel like "it's got the whole world on it's shoulders".  I guess I'm just not getting exactly what we're supposed to do?

And Loki aren't you under 21 hmmmm :nono: Just wanted to pick on ya!

Actually good try but not really a pun... Not to say i dont like the initiative and creativeness :D
n. A play on words, sometimes on different senses of the same word and sometimes on the similar sense or sound of different words.

amendment to the rules ?

re-cycling of really cool challenges is fine provided the challenger's handle is quoted in the re-cycle.

for instance:

"Dude, I wanna jroymcd'd re-cycle for my challenge !"

cool ?
not cool ?

I wasn't sure I was gonna get away with that one, so I didn't put the new challenge up!

Lets see, we have a fundamental disconnect, because its wintertime everywhere but here (except that its 18 degrees outside here right now), so I want to come up with something that the folks up north can participate in, also...

Well, football season's winding down, so lets tip our hats to the end of the season and post your GS representing your favorite team!  Colors don't get it done alone unless your bike was custom painted to represent the team.

My GS in the garage... have to get the indicator & fairing lined up with the indicator and exhaust of my brother's write-off of a SV650S so that there's enough room for the garage door to close... not sure if the pic does it justice:

Just knocking the dust off.  Mine will be down and out soon.  I'm going to be repainting the tank to get some rust spots out from a poor paint job and drop before I got it.  By the way, this is right by the James River on River Rd (go figure).

Not quite sure if the pic is for waldo or what. but I wanted to throw this one in had to do some grocery shopping and no gas for the car. So, got half gallon of milk, two liter of dew, crackers, frozen pizza, numerous frozen foods, pop tarts, cheetos, cereal, six pack soda. Not bad for a bike!

That's the Rapid Transit Recon 19 I believe. This one:

http://www.newenoughhp.com/luggage/tank_bags/rapid_transit/recon_19_magnetic_motorcycle_tank_bag.html

I got one for Christmas, it is totally awesome. It has plenty of space for all the stuff I need for work, and room for a hydration bladder when it is hot out or I'm riding all day. It also has a rain cover built in that is super handy. I've ridden with in the rain over the last month and everything inside stays completely dry. I highly recommend it!

Yeah, that's it. Man I love that thing best $75 bucks I spent on the bike. Seriously. The bike rode very well only issue that I was more worried about the stuff bungied down! Was afraid if I stopped to fast that I'd get a six pack in the back lol! Another cyclist pulled up and just shook his head. The saddle bags are great for the gs as well they were only $70. All I need is a tail pack and will have enough luggage for a good trip. I'm so upset it's bike week and i got like a 101 fever. I'm only an hour away how much dooes that suck! Tomorrow I think I might just suck it up. I've never been to bike week and just got the tax check today!

Maybe I'll get the dealer pic tomorrow! Or maybe better one's at bike week!

Which saddle bags are those? Also, are they waterproof?
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: Toogoofy317 on March 03, 2009, 07:28:10 PM
The saddle bags are Nelson Riggs. They are water resistant by themselves but they come with waterproof covers and they work superb. One part I like about them is that they are quick on and off. It takes about 3 minutes to put them on. That is if I buckle all the buckles and most of that time is gettin it sittuated just so so the seat snaps down. They are also great because you can take them off seperately they have a carry handle and a strap. I also like the bottle holder on the outside at red light can just turn around and grab a drink! Overal good stuff! I can take some detailed pics if you'd like!

You guys want to see a GS disguised as a mule?  Here you go.  This "tank bag" holds 36 cans of beer!  That's right, a case and a half!  :cheers:

I promise I will do it later today! That way I have to drag my sick butt out of bed. I think the fever finally broke. I could be real lazy there is a kawi dealership in front of my house! That's bad though I spend way too much time and money there. That's where the tankbag came from!
Wow what  a yellow bike you got there! I didn't even have the back pack full all it had in it were the cheeto's mushed ya know!

I promise!

That's the Rapid Transit Recon 19 I believe. This one:

http://www.newenoughhp.com/luggage/tank_bags/rapid_transit/recon_19_magnetic_motorcycle_tank_bag.html

I got one for Christmas, it is totally awesome. It has plenty of space for all the stuff I need for work, and room for a hydration bladder when it is hot out or I'm riding all day. It also has a rain cover built in that is super handy. I've ridden with in the rain over the last month and everything inside stays completely dry. I highly recommend it!
Not to continue the threadjack, but I just picked up a Rapid Transit Bradley tank bag for $15 (http://www.newenoughhp.com/closeouts/luggage/rapid_transit/bradley_strap_mount_tank_bag.html) and it looks pretty damn sweet.  However, it is strap-mounted, rather than magnetic mount.  Still, for $15, it's hard to beat!

P.S., once the ~6 inches of snow melt (hopefully by this weekend!!), I'll be all over this challenge

I'm trying boys and Fred did you want pics of my rapid transit or the other one? Mine looks like it is probably about 1 1/2 times bigger! Hence I guess the higher price, but the other is quite nice! Oh, got my hair done too!

Would it cost that much if I sent it to you? Seriously, they sell it about 1 minute from my house! That way I've no shipping incurred from me purchasing it. My zip is 34741 if you figure out the shipping and think it's worth it we can work it out. Ask Pronator and Respite I'm trustworthy. Let me know. I like to help out Gsers when I can!

I Sir do not wear bikini's and for good reason! Don't think I'd do it to my bike because I call it 'he" all the time. I will not own a ghey bike!

Zuki is sooo cute! I have a picture on my cat on my bike. She got up there herself! Just layed on the gas tank and fell asleep. I felt bad so I didn't take the bike. that black six-toed cat gets treated better than any 3.2 cats I know! But, she has to inspect everything. Don't know how many times she hopped in the convertible and fell asleep just to start the car and hear her flip. She hates riding but loves cars and bikes?!?!?

My ex-roommate where she lives (because I can't have cats at my apartment) is painting the house. She rubbed up beside it inspecting the work and got aqua color paint on her side. She looks like a carolina panther now lol!

At any rate, I got to go, so as soon as my slow *** blackberry gets the pics uploaded I'll get them on.  Beautiful day to ride, 75 degrees, clear skies with a little clouds, not too much traffic....rode down to the St. Marks Lighthouse.  First out of town road test for the bike, and she ran just fine.  Technically, its the Gulf of Mexico, but its attached to the ocean, so it'll have to do!

Well, no way on earth I can get this one. I'm in Central Florida! Four hours minimum to Georgia, Alabama, or Mississippi.

I'm a girl and won't get in a bikini. That takes guts esp out on the net no way!

Eh, just pretend you're breaking down or something, you could probably get away with it for the minute or so it would take you to get a picture... Or you could get a friend to follow you and take the picture of you and the sign while you're in motion, that would be cool...

Theres not really anywheres to stop. If I time it right though, I can get just enough time to stop it, put it on the stand and run back a few meters and snap a pic before I get flattened by a larger vehicle.  Bonus points if I can get it with my bike on the white line between the left and middle lane.  booyah.

I'm in Florida, and it works for me :) I'm 15 minutes from Georgia!

Point well taken, though...I wasn't certain that one would fly when I proposed it, so I'll propose a new one then.

The issue is that, invariably, someone's going to get excluded from 80% of the challenges...noone complained about the ocean one, but a number of our members couldn't get that one either....

Hmmmm....lets see...... we've done cats, dogs, pets, snakes, oceans, off road, restaurants...

How about your GS at where you go to relax.  If you've got a particularly scenic place you go to ride, that would be good.  Try not to do the "here's my GS in my garage, I relax at home" one..

I don't think you should go changing challenges once they have been declared - especially simply on the grounds that some group of riders might be excluded.  I would have to ride for 4 hours to get a change of state sign (and even then it would technically be a territory!  ;)), but when I saw the challenge all I thought was "I'll just wait for the next one".

The only thing that matters when deciding on a challenge is to make sure that it is achievable and that someone is likely to do it.  As has been said before, all the truly interesting challenges are going to exclude someone - it's only the totally bland ones that will be accessible to everyone.  And personally, I enjoy seeing my fellow GS'ers doing things that I don't have the opportunity to do.  :thumb:

By changing mid-stride, you risk someone making the effort only to find that the rug has been pulled out from under their feet while they've been away from the computer getting the photo.

Yea, as Philward say - Don't change it :)  It's prolly gonna be fun, no doubt about it. Was just sad to see another one that I could not participate in :(  We don't have mountain dew in Denmark either.

But you are right, you cannot give everyone a chance to participate, but just make sure the majority can do it (Sad enough, I aint a part of the majority since I'm from Denmark :D)

My tuppence worth... (I do like this thread)...

States in USA = European / African countries = 'territories?' in Oz.

Doesn't make it any easier for many of us but at least it doesn't limit to one side of the Pond.  Sorry for anyone who rides their GS on Antartica!

Here we go with a state line picture.  Heading north on Route 1 from Salisbury, MA to Seabrook, NH.

That blue sign in the background says: Welcome - Bienvenue To New Hampshire "Live Free or Die"

And this is an old-school state line marker: just a big hunk of granite in the ground

Name a place or thing to take a picture with your GS500. First person to go out, take, and post the picture picks the next one. Must be a picture taken after the challenge picked. Try not to make it impossible. no photochops. If nobody else gets the picture within 1 week the person that picked it can choose a new one.  New challenge must be picked when picture of the last one was posted

Take a picture of your Gs by a fire truck or ambulance! Only thing creative I could think of cause I feel like krap!

Yup, I knew I wasn't on that many drugs! Oh well I am why hide it! I wannna ride :icon_sad: . I think it should be a law that you cannot get sick when it is 82 and sunny out! Christ I was sick and that one up above too! Can't I get a break!

I also added ambulance though so the firetruck could still work. Esp. if they only had the yellow pants on with no shirts and a six pack! Oh, now that turns me on any man in uniform really!

Just between you and me this is the internet...it's not really a place. Mais ça c'est la problème avec quelques Américans, ils pensent que l'États Unis c'est la seulement place avec des choses universel. Je pense que c'est la faut de la mauvais bière... je ne sais pas.

Now it is time to shot down miles. This is my professional opinion as a Junior Engineer:

Miles are dumb.

1 mile = 63360 inches = 5280 feet = 1760 yards = 8 furlongs = 0.33 leagues.

And Kilometers Rock:

1 kilometres = 1000 metres = 100,000 centimetre  = 1,000,000 millimetres

See how nice a organized the metric system is compared to imperial.  :thumb:

Now I will admit that it took Canada a good 20 years to change over but please refer to the below image to see who still uses the imperial system and who uses metric.

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fe%2Feb%2FSI-metrication-world.png&hash=b2172642cc30a377e32f575688c2b06954b95888)

I hope you enjoyed this rant and though it did contain a picture there was no police or firefighters so once my tank is painted and on my bike I will post whatever the next picture request is and one with a cop/firefighter, if it has already been done, to make up for ranting.

Bit different in the air or on the sea, where most countries use nautical miles, because 1 NM = one minute of latitude.

I agree, nautical miles are the far superior length measurement. At least it is based on an actual measurable quantity, not just some random length like the foot or the meter. Perhaps I should change my speedometer gauge face to read in knots... Of course, the metric snobs out there would then argue that latitude is a stupid concept and start trying to measure position in radians...

At least it is based on an actual measurable quantity, not just some random length like the foot or the meter

Perhaps you should look into the history of the metre. It began as 1/10 000 000th the distance from the North Pole to the equator, nothing random about that.

You should look into what the meter was actually based on. They tried to make it 1/10,000,000th of the distance from the north pole to the equator on the meridian going through Paris, but for some totally random reason, they chose to go do their surveying work in Peru. Peru, being super mountainous place with a lot of jungles, was a terrible place to go do the survey, so by the time they finished, they realized their error was huge so they just made the unit up. They basically realized their mistake and said "about this big" and picked a distance slightly longer than a yard. Whee, totally random again. They then made super precise rods to define a meter and distributed them everywhere. It wasn't until 1960 that they moved from the prototype bar system to a system based on the number of wavelengths of a specific frequency of light, but even that system was just a measurement of an existing prototype bar. The meter is based on a bad survey done in Peru between 1735 and 1737, what could be more random? Another fun fact, the original meter was expressed in French feet. The foot is basically the same thing done by the Greeks. They defined the foot as 1/360,000th of a degree of latitude at the equator. The modern foot works about to about 1/365,222th of the length of a degree of latitude at the equator. Not bad for a unit that's been around since antiquity.

How about get your bike with a classic car you know 50's or 60's!  Mucho extra points if you get it with a '57 Bel-Aire my dream car!

Nice, do fire stations even have dalmatians any more???

If my grandpa still had his '57 I could ride over and get a pic with it. Sadly, it's long gone...

Post by: Toogoofy317 on April 09, 2009, 03:17:32 PM
Down here in Florida it is against code to have an animal in the station. I think the Dalmation's lost their job in the economic down fall .Can we get the a stimulus package too!

Anyhow, I think I made this one fairly easy so get out there and get some pics I've won waaaaaay to many of these challanges. Actually, this challenge came from Josh08 cause I couldn't think of anything! LOL.

GET OUT THERE AND GET SOME PICS!

You could always plant a friend near the statue with a camera to take a picture as you ride by... If you go fast enough, no one will have time to react and tell you to go away... Just keep your helmet on so they can't identify you later...

Not to be a pain, because I want to keep the game going as well, but wasn't one of the original rules to take the photo "after" the topic had been announced?  If so, on the server the whole time would be a 15  yard penalty for old pictures.

But, as the next play has already happened, no retroactive penalties!

Sorry, still hung over from the NFL draft.

I had this image on the server the whole time...too bad I am slow, sledge wins  :icon_sad:


Not to be a pain, because I want to keep the game going as well, but wasn't one of the original rules to take the photo "after" the topic had been announced?  If so, on the server the whole time would be a 15  yard penalty for old pictures.

But, as the next play has already happened, no retroactive penalties!

Sorry, still hung over from the NFL draft.


LOL... but you are right.  It must be taken after the challenge has been annouced. I think im ready to get in on this now.  soooogame opn bitches.  lol

Thanx much...but that would mean I would have to read though 23 PAGES to figure out what has been done already, it'z on you bud, I have to pass!

OK....right off the top of my head without perusing the 23 Pages...
Your GS with a Suzuki Burgman/SkyWave Scooter in the photo with it!

Whew were back in action! Good thing cause I'm in hospital now dang oil pump (er I mean heart) krapped out on me today. I'm in the hospital ironically I've never been to this one what have I been missing? This room has a 40 inche Flat screen TV, iinternet with wireless keyboard, A sofa couch, electronic windshade and a descent bed. If it weren't for the poking and prodding I'd almost mistake it for a hotel. Well, that  was until they tried ten times for an IV that just ruined it!

Have fun with the challenge I'll live vicariously through you guys for a few days!

Geez, I can barely give directions to my local hospital, let alone give a critique of the room quality. I hope you're all right and back out riding soon! I hate when they miss veins! I was donating blood and the nurse went all the way through both sides of the vein with the humongous blood donation needle and gave me a bruise from wrist to shoulder!

Afterbooster, the rules of the game are that the winning poster makes the next pic request and when someone posts that picture they make the next request.  You would have to post a picture of you and your GS while playing an instrument (haha tugable tuba lol) THEN you can call the next pic.

My Mistake, I had read the rules, but it had looked like no one was trying to do anything so was just tossing an idea out there, so to clarify, whoever is the first to accomplish the previous task decides what the next task is correct?

Oh brother! We tried this one and it was a bit FAIL. It turned into get your picture with a firefighter which took 3 weeks IIRC. I know there is alot of new folks on here but kinda skim through the whole thread to get an idea of what we have done and what hasn't worked!

I got pulled over last week and escaped with a stern warning. I'm not going near a cop with my bike! And guys no more weather excuses get your butt and bike in gear and get your gear on so this thread will be rockin".

Can we make this a stickie?

Hmmm thinking. Technically a Security officer is a branch of a  Law Enforcement Official except my only weapon is a flashlight. But, I sure as well know how to beat the Hell out of you with it! If we can't get a true LEO maybe I'll dress up in my Uniform and you boys can see me!

I did looked through whole thread and I must have missed it....Here is an idea, when you guys are driving around and see a cop just simply ask one for directions and then throw in the " can I get a picture with you "...hopefully he does not do this  :2guns: to you....lol
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: Toogoofy317 on May 27, 2009, 11:38:46 PM
WHAT? Ask directions in Orlando. Do you really think I want a cop to think I'm a tourist and then the worst thing of all ask him for a picture! Those are mortal Sins to locals here! As a security officer at the Mouse we weren't allowed to take pics with the guest. It was unprofessional!

Besides I had a nice loooong talk with one a couple of weeks ago! That conversation almost cost me $286. Not gonna invite trouble. Now if some of the LEOs I worked with were near my bike at the end of the night yeah no prob. But, our parking is 1/2 mile apart!

After, my thyroid biopsy in the morning if I feel up to it I'll pose with my Rescue knife and pellet gun. Who knows maybe I'll dress up like that chick in camo in "Nerds in Paradise" (can't figure out how to type the nerd laugh.) SNORT SNORT!

That is, we're not waiting for the next GS to break something before proceeding, right?

I have the 40 caliber service pistol with the ported barrels, got a drop in barrel for it with no port holes and got night sights installed.
I know some guys that owns the XDM 40 and they love it. But once you get your pistol you are gonna want to check out
a website for extra stuff, I do not know the website on top of my head but try and google " pistol gear . com " and you'll see what
I am talking about.

no internal damage please, it has to be a visible damage to the bike

Interesting quote, there vhmpyr, hahah.

Gah, that damn kickstand on my uneven driveway resulted in this wonderful injury.  Umm, these were my temporary mirrors which I made with a small handheld makeup mirror (shh! don't tell my sister!) and a bicycle mirror. I got my mirror replaced, and the clutch lever still looks like that  :sad:, waiting for the shipment.

Yeah, I've seen a couple.  There's one on the driveway up to my highschool?  :cookoo:  I'm going to have a serious sit down with some administrators up there to get that sorted out.  There was another one by a park not to far from where I live.  Apparently noise was an issue or something, but it may have changed since.  Just a couple leads for you guys to work with!

then take it.  if you have a camera phone, sned the pic message to your email address.  download that to your pc.  then upload that to an image hosting site, such as photobucket,  the post it here. its really simple.  I cant find a sign like that here.  I tried all day yesterday.  If i park my bike in the pump house one more time with otu authorization they may put up a sign that says no bike allowed.  Then i can take it, but that may take a few weeks.  lol

One easy way to get pics from your phone online is to use Twitpic. Twitpic lets you email a photo from your phone to your twitpic account that's how I got this one online

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs3.amazonaws.com%2Ftwitpic%2Fphotos%2Flarge%2F10483877.jpg%3FAWSAccessKeyId%3D0ZRYP5X5F6FSMBCCSE82%26amp%3BExpires%3D1245022848%26amp%3BSignature%3DHVflECt0rZCyjaBnHuvRRLULEFw%253D&hash=5d677e2d33d7d067e4c29152f64a62d940f9a90a)

It's loaded URL is here http://twitpic.com/68pet which has the above pic as Clickable so you can see the larger full-size pic.

No need to remove the memory card or mess around with USB cords.

Ah, I see the problem. When I pasted the URL in the image code it came up on my monitor because it was loading out of cache. But it won't let you hotlink an image.

I did not know this. My bad.

So that means Twitpic will only work as a URL directly to the page which holds the image and not the image itself. Grrr.

I wonder if there is a workaround...?

Just checked Photobucket... it allows you to send them images via email. I'll try this now with the same image from my phone...

Sent to the email address my photobucket account gave me. Was not there right away... nor after 5 minutes. Hmmm

So there is a way... use photobucket. Email pics from your phone to your photobucket account and then choose "IMG for bulletin boards & forums" option in the Get Code link.

As this seemed to take a while you could take the pic and email it to your account, then by the time you get home it should have been processed and ready for you to put in the thread.

Hmmm. A field of wildflowers. I cannot think of any nearby me. I know of plenty of fields of pasture - and some of just weeds and overgrown grass. But none in flower. Not even a field of flowering weeds. I'll need to put my thinking cap on and maybe do some scouting (good excuse for additional riding  :icon_mrgreen:).

The road in the background is a Major highway leading out of the city - too dangerous to stop on the side of the road, so took an exit and snapped back.

" Get a photo of your bike in front of a field of wildflowers"

The challenge didn't say GS it said "your bike". A GS is coming in a few weeks, in the meantime if the challenge says "your bike" then that makes it open.

Flowers... if you read back through the challenger said he was inspired by the story of local authorities not cutting the roadside flora. My pic is of the uncut roadside flora. As it's winter down here in Australia and we've just had some nasty frost last week there aint no abundance of flowers but it is certainly wild roadside stuff that has not been cut - and if you look carefully you can see some small yellow flowers.

It's up to the challenger to decide if it counts or not as we near the one week deadline.

Honestly, we could use the help of all bikes because it seems no one can get these as is! I mean it is taking what seems to be an average of two weeks to get one done!

My .02 cents on the matter!

Next Challenge: A picture of your bike next to a mail/post box - the kind the post office has for people to mail their letters - not the one the mailman puts your mail into - either at the post office itself or one of those random ones they have around the suburbs

um.. no flowers. and no gs in the picture.  :technical:
It's up to the challenger to decide if it counts or not as we near the one week deadline.
Sorry I missed the thread updates, but, yes, this is perfectly fine.  The important thing in this challenge is that the effort was there.  Not nearly the motivational challenge I was hoping, but I'm glad you went for it.  Now, I'd be right around the corner if it weren't raining ALL THE TIME.  Hopefully tomorrow  :cheers:

Took a tumble on the weekend. I'm good. Bike's got some cosmetics and bent handlebar and busted tacho/speedo housing. Need it fixed for the trade. So no photos from me until I get the new bike and/or this one back from the repairer.

I don't own flipflops so this one is out, for me.

Next Contest:
A picture of you infront of your bike sporting your swim trunks and your flippy floppies.  Extra bonus points to anyone who can do that with an inflatable dolphin

After one week I guess no one wants to be in the pic embarrassing themselves with swimmers and flipflops. Surely one of the easier pics to get as it really reqs no travel. But does req some dress-up.

TurkeyChicken, put us out of our misery, post a pic of You completing your challenge and choose anew?  :)

Yup. good grace and bow out. I was born and raised in Auburn California so I get my wants, needs, and desires from that time and place.

Not to change the subject but my GF AKA Leather wants to know if anyone can meet our challenge?  :thumb:

Picture of you and your bike next to a policeman getting a ticket. Staged or not got to see the ticket at least! GOOD LUCK the Gauntlet has been laid down!

Um. Seeing as the simple US Flag took a week, I think you just killed the thread until next week when you (or jointly) need to issue another challenge as this one fails to be completed. Of course, we (well, me anyway) expect YOU to complete the challenge before offering a new one - maybe you GF's a LEM and will help you.  :dunno_white:

OH! It could be someone dressed as a LEM, right? Like a nurses uniform or french maid, but really a pretend cop thing  ;) ;) Ah... like this?

I don't think I've ever seen a Coors beer truck in my area (central NJ) and I SERIOUSLY doubt any beer delivery trucks would ever let you touch their stock (too much of a liability on a number of fronts).  If the challenge was GS next to a beer delivery truck then *maybe*, but this is definitely another dead-in-the-water challenge for me.  :dunno_white:

I have seen coors light trucks before in Jersey.  Just take your bike and hang around liquor stores and in front of bars during the morning/day and you will be bound to run into one and just keep some beer in the tank bag.  I think the challenge should be expanded to any beer truck just to not eliminate people outside of the US.

Post by: BeerGarage on July 29, 2009, 07:46:47 AM
Or a cheese truck?  How about any dairy product.  I see a lot of dairy products, but cheese makes me get all flegmy.  I think the challenge should be any type of dairy product or beer or perhaps baguettes, but not bread in general because wonder bread is not good for you and my wife will not let me eat it or buy it or even take a picture of it.

So cheese trucks too ok?

And goats.

Cheese and or goat trucks.  Goat has to be driving the truck and you have to be actively eating goat meat or at least have a whole goat on a barbeque or over an open fire rotating on a spit.  I think we should include goats and any kind of cheese or dairy product or beer or pepsi.

Yep, that's the idea here too. Once you have completed a challenge you, in the same post, put forward the next challenge.

It's just that with this challenge, the original challenge was not completed - even by the original challenger - so they offered another one - your bike next to a beverage delivery truck with appearance of said beverage as well. Eg. can of coke on bike while parked next to coke delivery truck. Again, not completed.

If JB doesn't come back I think it should go Back to the previous winner - annguyen1981 - to offer the next challenge.

Just to get things moving along...


I just challenged the R6 community to this and surprisingly, it was done in one day...  I want FOUR pictures total under street signs.  Each street sign must contain the words "North", "South", "East", and "West".

If the street is something like "North Main Street", then that's completely acceptable. :)

My phone has been dropped a few times, so the image quality is pretty bad, but if you look closely, the street signs say E. Main St., W. Main St., N. Main St., S. Main St. 

But only one pic, and the cardinal points are not spelled out.  Oh, well, maybe tomorrow if no one jumps on it.  I even have the next challenge picked out!

The R6-forum had some good laughs with this one.
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: mister on September 03, 2009, 01:45:31 AM
I once went into a ghey Bar? I was out on the town (in the city) with my girlfriend for the night and had gotten a hotel room - cheaper than catching a cab all the way out to the 'burbs. I said to her that I am going for a six pack. I caught the elevator to the lobby, walked outside and looked up and down the road. Saw a bar and headed over. There was a bottleshop attached but it was closed. Maybe the barman will get me  a 6 pack anyway.

I walk in up to the bar and ask if it's possible to get a 6 pack even though the bottle shop is closed. "Sure" he says, and walks off. This older guy at the bar then pipes up and says something like, "going to have a good time in Private?" and smiles at me. I notice he is wearing a leather jacket - so am I. I glance around and everyone is wearing a leather jacket and some have funny leather caps on (like below). Realizing where I am I look back across the bar at the wall behind the bar not wanting to look or talk to anyone - I don't want to be Hit On. I just want my 6 pack so I can go back to my room.

I get my 6 pack. Enter the lobby and say to the receptionist... "Did you know there is a ghey bar just up the road!?" And she says almost apologetically, "Oh, if I knew you just wanted some beer I would have warned you. There is another place."

That ghey bar is 45 clicks away. Don't know of any closer ones.

Wow! I just Googled "Ghey Bar MyCity" and have since found the Main places homosexual people go - none are close  :mad: - but it was an interesting find. Also found some Homosexual Friendly motels - but they didn't list themselves as Family Friendly hmmm.

If I was extra keen, I'd head on down to Riverfire tonight, park my bike in a strategic location and try and get a snap of it while the F111 fighters do a Dump & Burn along the river - the last ever before the F111 are retired forever.

But I'm not That keen. So, I'll ride past my local airforce base tomorrow and take a snap instead. Oh, yeah, not of a plane on the base (no cameras allowed on base) but an old WWII plane just out front. And if it's too late in the day for that, I'll nip on by a wreckers near work on Monday that has a small old private jet on a stand out front. Last resort will be the nearby aerodrome  :icon_mrgreen:

Mary, if you go to South Beach(SoBe/Miami Beach) there is little, tiny tanning salon very close to the beach. Can't remember actual street name but if you ask around I am sure they'll be able to direct you to it  :thumb: 
So if you're bored during the weekend you can go and check it out  ;)

No...  Actual HazMat vehicles used to take care of chemical spills and such.

They'll say "HAZMAT" on the side.  The ones here in Chicopee, MA are fire trucks, but equipped with HazMat materials and tools.

This forum is an education... I'd never heard of hazmat before...

Apparently the diamond identification originated in France before it crossed the channel and pond to UK and US.

Will a photo beside a vehicle with the chemical hazard sign be adequate?

HazMat = Hazardous Material
They clean up chemical and other dangerous substances.

Finally managed to pop by the local fire-ees... nope, cannot get this one. Sunday's are unmanned, on call days - it's complicated, but a lot of stations work like that in Australia. Also found out, we don't have HazMat vehicles as such because each firetruck is HazMat capable. Although, there is a specialist Hazardous Materials (HazMat) and Safety Equipment Unit somewhere in the city - but - I don't know where it is based. So, looks like someone else will need to get this.

I'd thought about the "Wrong Way, Turn Back" sign - BUT - where I am they are usually at on ramps on highways and the like and figured stopping there might be a tad dangerous. The Do Not Enter one, however, that's certainly do-able.

+1.

If another person Needs to be involved or permission needs to be granted or the target is mobile itself, then these challenges will likely not be completed.

My own personal rule with coming up with challenges is... only challenges *I* could complete. If I could not do the challenge myself I won't offer it up as a challenge. In this way, if noone else completes it and a new challenge is required, I'd complete it then put the new one out. That's MY way of thinking about it.

OIA?

Organization of Istanbul Armenians?

Office of Internal Affairs?

All trains stations and sporting venues have Taxi Ranks down here in Oz. And there is usually one near Major accommodation places as well. Why would a taxi rank be a life threatening place? Please elaborate... This OIA must be scary  :dunno_white:

Orlando International Airport?... If so, stay away with your camera. Go visit one elsewhere like near some strip shops or something.

Don't got 'em at the strip malls they just line up in the no parking area impeeding traffic! At Orlando International Airport 1) You can't stop or you will get a ticket (stopped my car to pick up a friend walked to the trunk walked back already a $60 ticket on the windshield) 2) You are playing Russian roulette with tourons from all over the world (#2 destination in the World following Vegas) 3) They'd probably stop you on suspicion of terrorism coming in on a bike no luggage or picking anyone up.

Like I said bowing outta this one!

That's cool.

Taxi system is obviously different in this country.

I don't expect anyone to do anything that's detrimental to their safety. Your safety first.

Its an interesting cultural commentary to me, now that several of our non-US members have been more active in this forum, to see what is "easy" and what is not in different places.  The taxicab one would be dead impossible here - this isn't a Taxi-friendly city.  I can see how, in other places, that one would be easier. 

An interesting challenge, and I think it keeps the game alive!

Ah, Contrast, of course. The old fallback for the police to find those car number plates whose numbers cannot be seen too well from speed/redlight camera flash. I see it now too. That which was hidden is now revealed  8)

Michael, I am nearby - well around 980 clicks away - in Brisbane (Ipswich). So it's just a short 10 - 12 hour run down the New England and hopping onto the Putty Rd at Singleton. Come out at Windsor and nip on over to Penrith. When I lived down there had a GF in Springwood, worked at Wonderland and used to go Eeling at the Nepean off a side road off of Old Castlereagh Rd (side road is gone now due to all that Earth Works) and still have relatives in Londonderry. Next time I'm down there I hope to take a run out to Bilpin to have a look at that guy's Castle he built on his own land.

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.follytowers.com%2Fperfick%2520tower%2520rzd.jpg&hash=ac9b75d7d5ffe1cdadd012a4701fc82d24cfdaa9)

It's on Powells Road at Bilpin http://tinyurl.com/yeph7e2 and you can read a little about it here http://www.follytowers.com/bryants.html (I've got his phone number and he says if you want a personally escorted Tour of it, to call him to arrange it and he'll oblige). I reckon a run from Penrith to Lithgow then ride along Bells Line Rd down to Kurrajong and Richmond would be a nice Day Ride with a stop at the Castle. He reckons woman ask "What you building THAT for" and men just go "YEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!"

As you can see the castle from the road, that'd make an interesting challenge  :icon_mrgreen:

Next to a what?  A real living four-legged hog, or an H.D.?

Opens wikipedia and finds the following..."Harley-Davidson attempted to trademark "hog", but lost a case ... in 1999 when the appellate panel ruled "hog" had become a generic term for large motorcycles and was therefore unprotectable as a trademark"

Guess that means any big two-wheeler....

Well, it just came to my attention that his self built tower was shown on a TV show called "Better Homes & Gardens" and you can see the 2 minute segment here http://au.video.yahoo.com/watch/5909821/15381168 He said the crew were there for 6 hours and all they end up with is a couple of minutes of footage.

Hmmm... I didn't say Paper Crane, I said Crane. BUT, as I didn't stipulate what type - mechanical, biological, etc, then you get it on a technicality. But you might as well start looking for mechanical cranes cause that one will be coming - but don't take a snap yet cause there will be something else needed to be in the pic as well. And by mechanical cranes I do NOT mean mechanical toy birds, I mean the machines that Lift things into the air. Like this one I stopped by, with Site Traffic Controllers coming after me for riding through their entrance gate and coming onto their site  :icon_lol:...

Maybe I'll get some crayons and draw an 11.824 mph speed limit on some cardboard, take it outside, snap a pic, then we're on to the challenge.  Nobody would actually need to ride anywhere for the challenges.

However...

A main element of the game, as specified by the OP, is "First person to go out". Therefore, if redhenracing2's picture of the crane was taken while on a wee run,  it would be entirely acceptable.  But if that's his garage in the background...!!!

Paulcet,

I've got a list of challenges but not who won them. When I saw the duped list on the R6 forum the other day I thought... dang, I'll go through and do that. You beat me to it. Nice work.

When I saw the Paper Crane I actually burst out laughing for the ingeniousness of it. Very clever.  :icon_mrgreen: :thumb:  By the way, if you search for Paper Crane that is the Image that comes up in Google. So I'm cool with it being completed.

As for the next challenge... I live in a Metric country. Everything is normally divisible by 10. Though some speed limits do say 5 or 15. But I will now be on the hunt for a 12km sign. Maybe in some Gated Community or something. Hmmm.....

All I see are speed limits divisible by 5 - 5, 10, 15 and 20 is the highest I've seen. The search continues...

Not easy for me!!! We don't have many of these Jersey Barriers in UK.  Now, if you had asked for a picture of your bike with a line of 1000 traffic cones, that would have been easy for us on the east side of the Pond... just ride down any major road for a few miles!!

Great to see the game picking up pace... just when I'm looking after the kids while the schools are closed and I've not been out on the bike for a few days... grrrr!!!  :2guns:

And this next one could be awkward.  Newspaper headlines: 300 bike riders charged after taking pictures of school children while claiming they were 'only taking pictures of School Zone signs'.

Beauty!  An unintentional gotcha!!!

Sorry annguyen1981, I didn't mean anyone to take that headline seriously... just my imagination running wild.  But the thought was based on the real hassles parents have had with taking their cameras to their children's school events.  Councils tried to make it difficult for anyone to take pictures unless all parents have given prior approval.  Thankfully, common sense has prevailed and a measure of normality has returned.

Michael, are you suggesting Australia kept the good rules and ditched the bad ones?  Wish I'd known how strict the speed cameras were. I've received a nice letter from QLD police with a picture of the car I hired in July apparently doing 91km/h in an 80 zone.  AND, the Hire Co charged me 50 dollars for the privilege of passing my details to the police.  PM me if you have any good ideas about how do handle speeding fines from using a hired car.

Emmm, sorry, didn't mean this to turn into a thread-jack.

Hell No. What happens is.... England creates some new dumbass law (seeing as all political parties are really corporations, these Laws are actually Corporate Policy they have another corporation called Police enforce), tries it out for a bit, then Australia follows suit. Baaaa baaaa.

Qld is one of the most Police State states in the country - if you go by the Powers granted to police et al, not by the observed and reported actions. Most Queenslanders do not know the Qld Police can enter their home without a warrant, nor need the good old Probable Cause reason. That the same police can enter any Abo Community home to confiscate booze. And in the news the other day... the Hitler-esq state leader, Evil Anna Bligh, wants to grant the power that if you do not pay your parking fine or whatnot, your driving license will be revoked! There is also something called Anti Hooning legislation, which sounds good right, but allows police to confiscate your car if you are caught driving with a revoked license. She already made it compulsory for ALL people with electricity accounts to pay an Ambulance Fee. Refuse to pay the money for the Ambulance fund and your electricity will be turned off! This is the same state that was going to Fine Robbie Williams for having a cigarette during his concert, because the Football Stadium he performed in was deemed a Non Smoking location!

You wanna Fight a Speed Camera fine... it will cost you more time and money than the cost of the fine. I am not sure if anything will be added to a List to Alert Customs if you should come back into the country if you don't pay.

Having said that... WHERE did the supposed offence take place? What street? Did you get a copy of the photo? If you want to continue, I suggest PM, fair enough?

One day left on current challenge...

Current challenge is Your bike with a ballcap on one mirror in front of a mechanical lifting crane

Crane can be sitting/parked up in a crane yard for the day, on a construction site either set up to lift or not, or a tower crane. No Lorry Loaders or HIABS.

I know that it can be hard to get Close to a tower crane as they are attached to tall buildings. So you can be a little distance away. Just as long as the crane can be seen in the image. The easiest place to find a mobile crane is in the crane company's yard, parked up for the night.

If no-one gets it, I'll get it tomorrow and issue a new challenge...

36 hours and counting...

I'd say it does as... a challenge completed is a challenge completed. The person completing the challenge still has to do all the same things to complete it no matter who posted the challenge. They still need to ride to it. Like I did today... I rode to where there is a tower crane set up - I could see it but didn't know how to get close to it so that took a while - parked the bike, got off and took a photo with a ball cap on the mirror. But, I will sit on this image until the time is up in case someone else gets it. Unless, of course, people want the new challenge now  :icon_mrgreen:

A tower crane set up in a yard that supplies tower crane parts. Trucks comes in, this crane finds the necessary bits, picks it up and loads it onto the truck. I had to drive down a nearby roadworks access road to get it. As it had been raining they'd all gone home.

Wednesday I checked the bureau of Meterology's website http://www.bom.gov.au/. Radar was clear. Forecast was fine. This was at 4.00am. I rode to work. At 11.00am down she came. Not all over town. No, a small area wide in a long line. I happened to be working under it. Worked got called off a few hours later as it was still raining. I'm thinking... great, now I ride home in the wet. But by the time we packed up and I got back to the bike it had started to clear. Roads were still a tad wet while I rode to get this. Otherwise, the ride home was just overcast.

Today's forecast is... a shower or two. But at 4.25am as it is now, the radar is clear. So I'll ride in. And as it's a picket fence and those things are everywhere (everywhere up here anyway), someone should be able to get it  :icon_mrgreen:

There once was a challenge involving a policeman and a bike While you were getting a ticket.

Of course, no-one got it. But today I managed to get this...

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm3.static.flickr.com%2F2547%2F4062414331_2500eee1f6_o.jpg&hash=42367378a8177d491c8d15e0463411eea0befbbf)

Traffic controller obstructing side mirror. Nice. The other traffic controller whom I talked to about getting another pic of something with 3 wheels, said about the LEO Photo... I didn't see you take it HA!

Oh, in case you're wondering... they have police present when they close off lanes in this city. It's amazing how people will ignore the Slow Down signs, the reduced speed limit signs and everything - but - as soon as they see the flashing police lights they slow right down.

Anyway... the Vehicle with three wheels is this contraption...

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm3.static.flickr.com%2F2579%2F4062414483_3dc590f497_o.jpg&hash=fa9a4cf4517f44e3e337e785ee4a4cc26db52570)

I had tried to get a Palfinger Crayler (pictured below) cause I see them on the backs of trucks everywhere, and occasionally, unloading trucks too. But I couldn't find any just sitting on the ground.

Anyway does this Roller count Paulcet or should we wait for Mary to get her shot up first seeing as she said she'd already gotten it?

I reckon (with time zone adjustment) that its over 24 hours since Mary should have posted her pic.  Suggest you go for it Michael - get posting.  Hope Mary's ok.

Dang.... didn't even think other countries might not know what a  rainwater tank was...

A rainwater tank is a tank - size varies from say 1000 liters (250 gallons) to many Thousands of liters (such as a 20 thousand liter - 5000 gallon tank). They usually sit somewhere near a dwelling and the downspouts feed the water from the gutter direcetly into the tank. This way, the water can be used for watering the garden, flushing the toilet, drinking, etc. Here are some pics of them in backyards....

There are rainwater tank manufacturers whose Holding Yard is full of them. They can also be bought at Large Hardware Stores. And I am also seeing them out front of businesses whose buildings are too large to warrant getting a crane in to lift it to the back - I'll take a couple of snaps today to show you.

But as no-one seems to have rainwater tanks except us Aussies - interestingly, after doing a Google the results were almost all .com.au which is Australia - then default to Mary's challenge...

I have heard of rainwater tanks here in the US but have never seen one in person.  They are part of the lets make the world a greener place movement by reusing the water that we can collect from what drains off of our roof.  I believe some of the major cities have them stored on the rooftops of vasious buildings but hasn't taken off as far as residental use atleast not yet here in the US.

Easy to find in Bermuda, for one, though you mostly only see the tops of them (mostly buried and concrete). Saba for another. Probably any island without adequate size/terrain to store water in the ground, but adequate rain to bother collecting it when it rains. "Cistern" is perhaps a more common term for them, though it's not technically specific to rainwater. "Rain barrels" will get you the ~200L size used by gardeners in places where it really rains fairly frequently, and/or simply because they are small and cheap (surplus), thus easy to bodge onto a downspout without much planning. On islands it's pretty typical to have, in addition to roofs, carefully stuccoed rock formations or areas of hillside serving as extra collection area for larger installations.

Since it is becoming troublesome for people to go through all the posts to see what has been done is it possible to take the one post that someone did listing all the challenges and make that the first post of the thread so that it is easy to find instead of it being in the middle and then periodically someone can update that.

I live in the state of Queensland. This is an unusual state where the people have been subjected to State Patriotism. The talking bobble heads (news readers) often mentioned "our great state". If something happens with Australians you're likely to find the newspaper headline reading... Queenslanders Blah Blah Blah. It's quite noticeable when people come from a different state.

As such, this state pretty well drank one single beer. It's pronounced "Fourex" because on the can is XXXX. And for the longest time the ONLY beer a person could buy "on tap" was XXXX. Pubs hardly sold other beers even in cans or bottles. And it wasn't really until failed Rich Bloke Allan Bond bought the brewery and the license to go with it that sold it into all pubs within the state, that other beers like Victoria Bitter were available on tap.

There used to be a Fosters brewery in Brisbane years ago - and the Fosters it produced tasted bloody awful compared to that made in Sydney due to the different water. But that has since closed down. While another brewery did open up selling his own label beer but that has since been bought out too [Edit - just found out today, it was bought out by the Fosters company].

Understand, Australia's total population is only a tad over 20 million people, while geographically the country is as large as the USA. So the USA has 15 times Australia's population for the same land size.

And I would Love to get back to the USA. I was there years ago and would very much like to get back there.

In the meantime... a brewery somewhere awaits a keen rider with a camera  :icon_mrgreen:

Yeah. Australia is pretty much crap for good beer, from what I've heard. You should get yourself over to America.

Some/most of the mainstream beers down here are really bad but most of them are not as bard as budweiser (IMO), the beer developed to appeal to the largest possible number of people good for business not good for beer, they did this by brewing a beer with all the real beer flavors taken out (i has no hops or malt flavors and there is no character from the yeast and it lacks body), there is however really good beers brewed from smaller/independent brewery's in both country's and they are the beers i drink when i am not making my own.

Hmmm now to find a WRX

The WRX is Subaru's rally car, made (more) famous a few years ago by the late Colin McRae (one of Scotland's sons) before he moved over to driving a Ford Focus.

Normally produced in blue, but often with gold wheels - yuck!

Hopeully they dion't sell them in Australia - gives the rest of us a chance to get the pic first !!!!!!!  My bike's back on the road again... woo-hoo.

Today I went through the Hungry Jacks (Burger King) drive thru. Not that I eat that kind of food, mind you, I just like visiting the staff and wishing them well. And the burger I didn't buy tasted good too. But anyway, they had signs up advertising Frozen Coke. On the way home I drove past a 7/11 and they had Coke signs in their windows. Gas stations have Coke signs in their windows, and sometimes smaller ones at the bowsers too.

Grevhen: Sorry... no confederate flag even if they are liked by someone who likes Pepsi over Coke.

Nice Paulcet!  :cheers:

Tomorrow, I can get a traincar that was converted to a diner.  Really cool.

I vaguely recall eating in a Denny's Diner somewhere in LA that was like this.... years ago when I was visiting the US. But it might not be the case, I could be thinking it resembled one but wasn't actually one. It was at an intersection and was walk in only - that should narrow it down! HA!

Funny you should pick train car... I was level pegging with a loco on the way home this morning while looking out for a hospital sign... I'm many many miles from the airport so there wouldn't have been one of those signs nearby  :icon_mrgreen:

Next Challenge: Your bike with a pedestrian crossing sign - the ones that warm of the Zebra Crossing lines on the road

In Australia we have these
(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dietgirl.org%2Fphotos%2Funcategorized%2F2007%2F08%2F16%2Fcrossing.jpg&hash=b3e0ac2f83a5137433bd7bf82054a5e027ee7012)

But if you have these
(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.orion.lib.mi.us%2Ftownship%2Fpolice%2Fimages%2FpedestrianX.jpg&hash=45611c3c431659610ba788a307cb4cd5a57dd2b6)
then that'll do too.

Whatever is classified to signify a Pedestrian/Zebra Crossing Sign in your neck of the woods.

What's interesting is... at the other side of the carpark - the direction my bike faces - is another business called Crazy Bargains. Anyway...

Next Challenge: Pic of your bike at a Motel. Sign saying Motel must be visible or in cases like Best Western who just have Best Western without the word Motel their sign must be visible.

Post by: mister on November 20, 2009, 01:03:56 AM
Wow this is interesting...

The Art one was already done. It was Mary's challenge and completed by pronator see here http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=45412.msg520435#msg520435

Now, going by the R6 forum, if a challenge has already been posted the Previous challenge is still able to be completed by someone unless the first completer - in this case Archangel - posts a new challenge. Meaning, if Redhen can offer a new challenge before Archangel does, then it's RedHen challenge as next, and if someone else completes the bicycle rack challenge and puts a new one before Archangel or RedHen then They can also put a new challenge up.

Do we go with that same ruling or do we patiently wait for Archangel to post another challenge...

Considering I set up the R6 version of this game MONTHS after the GS version was up and running...  AND the fact that the R6 version is going a LOT more smoothly and quicker, I'd say we shold adopt some rules from there.

How would taking a picture of a different art structure prevent it from running smoothly? Scootdawg has the same game (Running smoothly), and they allow you to take a picture of the same subject as long as it's not the very same structure.

I'm not trying to break any rules, or take over the game, I just think that there are a lot of cool Art Structures that we can see through this that we would otherwise not be able to see. Of course, not every tag is going to be repeated often. There are only so many subjects to take a picture next to. If we played by that rule we'd run out of subjects to tag after a while.

Soo, this is called "the state monument". It was put up in 1941 and has rocks in it from all 48 states. Remember Alaska and Hawaii were not in the Union at that time they were territories.

Ok, since the original rules don't state that repeat challenges are allowed or disallowed, I think we can decide at this point.  I move to amend the rules to state that a repeat challenge is allowed, but can be superseded if another member completes the immediately previous challenge then posts an original challenge before the repeat challenge is completed.

Boy, that seems confusing.... Can anyone word that better?  Maybe Mister's wording is clearer.

Seems clear enough to me, and I vote YES mainly because it is getting a bit hard to keep track of what has and hasn't been done.

Post by: mister on November 21, 2009, 04:50:05 AM
Even though it's not needed, I vote yes for Mary's pic.

For repeat challenges I'd say "no". There is no need for a challenge to be repeated. It could be Close but still not the same. A work of art could easily have Multiple sub categories... statue, abstract metal, tile mosaic, public, corporate building, etc., etc. There is no need to have the same general challenge posted. I see it as one of two options...

Option # 1: The person just picks another challenge and we wait until they do.

Option # 2: Someone else can complete the previous challenge and They get to pick a new challenge - as long as they do it before the 1st person picks a new one.

Reason behind number 2 is, it guards against the first challenge winner from not visiting the board for a week and the game stalling while we wait for a new challenge. Keeps the game going in that event.

As for keeping track of what has been completed... I'll make a current post and then create a link to it. And keep That post updated as each challenge is completed. That way, it can be referred to any time...

DAMN IT!

There's a house a couple miles away that I always pass.  They normally have a HUGE inflatable turkey setup in their yard.  Last week it was setup, but today it was deflated.  >:( :flipoff:

Oh well...  still looking for a turkey

Post by: mister on November 21, 2009, 12:50:18 PM
Yesterday, work sent me to this place that has a couple of Scrub Turkey's wondering around. Every time I go there I see these things. And so I parked the bike near where I always see them - and - nothing. Nowhere to be seen.

But, while I was talking to a couple of guys working there who were having a breather under the shade of a tree, some Kangaroos came to visit...

Then I thought I'd see how close I could get to them and shot this 38 second video http://www.flickr.com/photos/40483221@N05/4122883356/

No bike in the pics or footage, just something different to see in an industrial estate in suburbia

That is the name of the specie, and they are definitely brown. Guess this picture just has some odd lighting/exposure or something. A better one -

"deaf child at play"

I have never ever seen one of those signs. And I've lived in Australia's 1st, 3rd and 6th largest cities. Plus, I ride past a school with special facilities for deaf kids every couple of days. No such signs.

Must be a US thing.

Dang. Even Google images is scant on those signs.

Pssst. Come closer. Closer. I need to whisper something...

:whisper: Make the challenge a picture of your bike with a Close Up of the horizon. That'll drive yooblonder total insane  :icon_mrgreen:

Ok. Yooblonder. The stage is set. What exactly is this flag challenge of yours?

"Your bike with a real, full-size country flag (not regional or state), but NOT of the country that your are in; and stating the country of the flag's origin."

That's it... probably an easy one for ex-Pats or avid travellers?

I see this flag challenge NOT being done. :fact

I know at the U.N., there's a bunch of different flags, but I'm pretty sure they don't actually have a sign sying which country they're from.
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: mister on November 23, 2009, 09:23:30 PM
An,

I don't think the flag needs to say what the country is, You do.

I think this is quite doable. I'm sure the Greek club and the German club in my city both have relevant flags out the front. I know I see the Kiwi (New Zealand) flag all the time because there are a lot of "Bros" in Australia. And I know for 100% certainty the Irish Club has an Irish flag out the front.

Pretty sure Embassy's would have a flag of their country. We'd be pretty fine taking a photo of such a thing in Australia - but not of the US embassy of course. If it's fine for Google Street View it should be fine for us too.

Soccer clubs are usually linked with an ethnicity - Sydney Olympic is Greek, Marconi is italian, etc. And certainly the fans of such clubs usually wave their Country flag.

Ships in the harbor usually display their flag of origin. Don't know if you could get close enough. But still...

In different Ethnic Loaded suburbs you can always see a Flag somewhere.

Pretty sure flag shops display their wares in their windows.

Yeah. I think it's doable. Maybe not doable by tomorrow. But certainly doable.

Next challenge:
Your bike with a lighted ARROW on a traffic light... To clarify, some(most) lights have red, yellow, and green. If the light has more openings, fine... but ONE OF THEM has to have a lighted arrow... whether it's a red arrow forbidding travel in that direction, or a green arrow to permit travel or turns.

Well, for that particular set of lights, from that side of the road the light shown is the only one with an arrow. There were some spots I could park closer to the lights - but - the Sun Louvers would then hide the arrow. They are already starting to hide it from where I am. The cross road for that intersection has turning lanes which means I would be forced to park even further back.

The distance I parked was carefully measured using engineer level math and a theodolite. In the end, I said, this'll do as I parked under a shady tree where I could still see the arrow and not be in the way of any turning cars.  :thumb: :icon_mrgreen:

Now come on. It's only been a few hours and the chimney challenge isn't complete. What gives  :dunno_white:

Chimney doesn't have to be on the roof of a house. A commercial chimney works too. Some might be tall and thin and have a metallic spiral going around them for strength, others could be tall and wide and appear to be stand alone like a powerstation smoke stack, others can be seen on the roof of food businesses. A metal heat treating business will have chimneys, so will a metal casting business. Brickworks too. Breweries. Commercial kitchens. Restaurants (for their kitchen). Refineries.

I live in a hot climate like you do. The weekend ride was in temps that were around 93 with today's temp to be between 84 and 88 (depending where in the city you live) and we aren't in Summer yet. So not too many chimneys on homes, but on industry... they need them for their work processes so they do exist.

How about a picture of your bike next to an "antique" sports car? (ex: Mustang, Challenger, Charger, Cuda, Camaro, Vette, etc)

Will that work?

See ^^^^^^^  I would consider all those cars muscle cars

Well, I think where the issue was you said "antique". Which had already been done because I put the challenge out for "classic" which is pretty much a synonym. I am thinking any model year. I'd love to see a GS next to a Dodge Challenger SRT-4

Alright how bout this: Your bike next to a DODGE CHALLENGER SRT-4 extra points for the lime green with racing stipes yum!

Mary:

What size image are you uploading to photobucket? Cause I just checked and the size you show is the only size up there. With Photobucket you don't need to change the size. Upload the original size and it will make thumbnails by itself. Also, try Flickr.

Anyway... is the challenge a Muscle Car or the more Specific  Dodge Challenger SRT4?

And by muscle car do you mean American 2-door rear wheel drive mid-size cars of the late 1960s and early 1970s equipped with large, powerful V8s and sold at an affordable price for street use and drag racing, formally and informally and as described on the Wikipedia page about it complete with list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_car. Or do you mean something else? If it's that list you've excluded people outside of the USA. Outside of the USA had their own versions of a Muscle car not on the list shown on the Wiki but talked about a little. Australia had it's own versions, of course. But none have been built since the 1970's due to Emissions rules. And you now only see such vehicles at car shows and not on the street.

If you're changing the challenge to the Dodge Challenger SRT4 then you have excluded all but those in the USA as those outside do not have their own Versions (obviously, because it's specific) and nor are they sold in countries outside the USA that I am aware of.

I may be able to get a shot of a V8. Whether it classifies as Muscle or not is another matter. If I get it I'll describe what it is and let you decide. Unless the challenge is actually the Dodge in which case I'm out.

Mobile targets never work well.

There is no Challenger SRT4. SRT4 is Mopar's badge for performance 4-cylinder cars, like the Caliber and the Neon (the newest models of which aren't even called Neons, but are simply referred to as SRT-4). The Challenger does not have an option for a 4-cylinder. It is either a 3.5 V6, or one of two different V-8s. The better of these two, at a whopping 6.1 liters, is labeled as the SRT-8 (because it has 8 cylinders). And on a sidenote, am I allowed to still play the picture game even though I don't have a bike any more? After all, some bikes have bigger engines than this civic does . . . .

Thank you for proving my point.  We should be allowed to use the same challenges over again as long as it's not the same picture.  Eventually we will run out of ideas.

Ver4...

considering we've got around 400 DIFFERENT challenges on the R6 site (compared to maybe 200 here), I'd say there's still a lot of different ideas left.  people just have to use their imaginations.
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: mister on November 27, 2009, 02:15:15 PM
Ver4,

When I ride around I see things. Objects. Signs. Businesses. Things. Each of them would make a challenge. When I get home I jot them down. Here's a bunch NOT on my list just made up sitting here typing...

Public Trash Can
Home Brew Supply Store - we had brewery, and this is a natural flow on
Dumpster
Shopping Cart Storage/Collection Pen (the thing in shopping centers where people are Supposed to put their shopping carts)
Shade sail
Speed Bump
KFC
Street Sign of your city name (using my example of Brisbane the street would be Brisbane St/Rd - not suburbs, the main city)
Stormwater drain - those large ones that run under roads
Garage/Yard sale sign - you know, what people nail to posts on the weekend
For Lease sign - home made or professional from a RE Agent
Goal Posts - soccer, rugby, gridiron, hockey
Where bitumen ends and a dirt road begins

There's 12 challenges off the top of my head just thinking about what's at/near my local shopping center. And I've got heaps more on my list. So there's no need to start repeating challenges. No need considering we've only got 138 challenges (just counted).

Mary doesn't NEED to pick another challenge. A Dodge Challenger SRT-8 hasn't been done before. It just means, we wait until someone in the US gets it and we move on. I'm pretty sure such a car could be found at a Dodge Dealership.

If you want to put up a 68 Mustang or 67 Pontiac Firebird or similar, that's up to you. They haven't been done Specifically either. As long as you know you could get them if no-one else can, then choose what you like (of course, no just picking things you know only you can get). The game will slow and not everyone can do those challenges is all.

Your bike with a Dodge Challenger SRT-8.

No, it was about clarification. What if you had wanted the CALIBER SRT-4? You might have mistyped the name of the car, not the SRT-x. We didn't know, thus, clarification.

Next Challenge: Your bike with a Silo.

For the very observant, you'll see that there are EIGHT or NINE silos together in these pictures.  Look through the corner of the wind shield and you can see the outline of the cylinders, with the factory advert board partially covering them.  Wish I got closer but I had to stop in a bus stop on a no-stopping busy main road in Edinburgh (hence the red lines), then had to dash off before two buses arrived.

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi295.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fmm123%2Fyooblonder%2FGS500%2FGS500Silo2.jpg&hash=472eb1ffb338b4ec7d97e4dca3d62235e7b905d0)

Now, there's gonna be some "Picture Game Police" who think the silos aren't clear enough.  So, if consensus says that the challenge stands, the next challenge is:

Your bike wearing a medallion.  (No, I don't have one myself.)

Silos look good to me.

Of course, there was a road right next to it. You could have gone right next to them, taken a whole series of left to right and down to up photos. Gone to this website http://www.autostitch.net/. Downloaded the software & installed it. Stitched the images together. Discovered you'd need to crop too much to get it right. Go back, take some more photos - from the exact same place otherwise the software will work funny. Come back home. Stitched those new images in to the other images to allow you more area to cut to leave you with a nice looking wideangle pic of the silos up close and personal. Discover, you didn't take the shots from the same place and ended up with ghosting. Go back. Take a whole series of new images to make sure, and stitch those new images together - forgetting the old ones. Crossing your fingers. THEN posting the pic. Something like...

You're right... but its one of those roads that requires a long detour.  Just wasn't possible this morning.  Might stop by again and snap them close up.

Medallion (singular!): pork / lamb / beef, ceiling / floor, or the more tradition medallion from round a neck.

The highlighted shape in the middle of a rug is also known as a medallion. I don't have such a rug.

Dang dang dang! I have some awesome medallions that came from the destruction of Dueling Dragons queque but they are home. Me and the bike are at a friends house. Flick is undergoing the GSXR turn signal mirror mod!

I'll have tomorrow afternoon if no one else does!

A PIC OF YOUR BIKE WITH A MEDALLION

unbelievable. I spent 3 hours reading this post, and now that I am ready to play... I have no stinking medallion.
Who would have thought that was gonna be the one. >:(
Debating on whether or not to head out and buy something.
ARRRRGH...

UPDATE:
Screw that. Bikes are supposed to be fun.
I went out on the gs500 and bought a medallion.
I needed some vodka anyways ( I am turning 34 at midnight ).
Uploading now. It was a cold ride, but fun none the less. :cheers:

I threw this last one in. Its her gs500 that I am here for....even tho I am the one riding it around right now. I told my wife I would buy her a bike if she always wore her helmet, since we are AGATT in my house. maybe I should have worded it differantly.

Anyways I am assuming this will make the cut.
Now she can have a lucky charm in her jacket pocket like the ones that she gave me.

I had a look at the image code. What you pasted was actually a Page code for image shack. When a backslash / was added to the code, the page came up with the image on it.

Anyway. Here's the bike w/ bottle of hard alcohol. In fact, you cannot get much more alcohol content than 100%

The guy who used to live across the road from where I used to live, drank this stuff. Then he had an argument with his defacto, made a pile of her clothes in the lounge, poured some on and lit it. The police were attending a car crash a few meters up the road caused by his defacto. When asked what he'd done as smoke came out his window he said he set fire to his house. He was renting. The police took my statement as a text file on floppy disk. He went to the big house. No metho there.

Anyway... Next challenge: your bike at a home brew supply store

I have been meaning to go to the HB store about 20 mins form work for a week or 2 now, i am thinking about making a light and refreshing summer ginger beer and your suggestion fit perfectly (thanks Michael) i need to pick up some yeast and other ingredients, its a nice ride long sweeping corners in the blue mountains and the weather is really good today but my fave HB store has closed down  :sad: so no ingredients for me but i have the photo so its not a total waste (if a photo of a recently close HB store is ok)

There is another store about 20 mins in the other direction so its not a total loss (for the beer) but the ride to that store is in the city and not as fun...

I have the photo but i am at work and the USB ports are disabled so i can't get the photo i took onto the computer

Mary:

Cundalini is correct. A homebrew store is a store that sells supplies to people who brew their own beer and spirits. bags of lids. Bottle wash. The "carboy" (demijohn) beer is brewed in. Yeast. Different flavor concentrates. Airlocks. Etc., etc.

Punk:

All good even if the store had now closed down. As long as we can see it is/was a home brew supply store.

Beautiful weather but no danged good roads to ride. I get my kicks off the two rotaries we have in Kissimmee. Sad ain't it :2guns:

No Public trash cans Mary?

I must admit... our Public ones seem to be getting smaller and smaller now-a-days... IF you can find them at all.

Traffic Light would only work if you could Illuminate the signal. But like An said/asked.... WHY & HOW did you come to have That? And just sitting on the living room? :confused:

Yes, I am keeping the list updated now as Each challenge is completed - the updated list is linked to im my sig file. No, we didn't have a Shrine - but - we did have a Military/Veterans memorial. However, a Shrine doesn't necessarily have to be military in nature... could be religious or memorial or commemorative in nature of person or event.

As I said in my first post... car yards is One place you can look.

Now more specifically... if you look at the VW center on Whitehill Rd next to Edinburgh Fort retail park... I think you'll find your Shade Sail... or something like it which is passable... on the road between the two.

Also, The Sail Loft is supposed to sell them. Give them a call and ask for an address where you can see one.

Plus, people in your neck of the woods are buying them for their 2nd flr/mezzanine balconies. You might be able to spot them between buildings. :dunno_white:

What kind of Shade Sails do you have where they are taken down and put up on such a whim? All the ones around here are semi permanent.  You can take them down - but - it's not a five minute thing.

Yeah, we got the turn signal when cental Florida was hit with four hurricanes in one season five years ago. It fell down by the house and was banged up pretty bad city told roomie have at it since they could not use it!

Those garbage cans are all around town. Esp. in historic down town like I said Kissimmee is cheap!

Now on the lookout Splash Mt is our highest peak here don't think I'll get Flick up that. Would an ocean lookout work?

Yeah, any lookout if fine. The main thought behind the lookout idea was just that they tend to be in places that are a fun ride to get to. Many coast roads fit that objective nicely as well.

This is known as the Ipswich Water Tower lookout. It's a top the water tower which is atop Denmark Hill in Ipswich. The entire area around it is a conservation park. http://www.discover-our-ipswich.com/denmarkhillconservationpark.html The tower has Plaques around at the top - you can see one in the photo next to the pole which holds the CCTV - which describe what you are looking at.

Had to do some chores this morning (Saturday 12). And while out I had to ride past the 1.7 click road up to one of our city's lookouts. So figured a few minute dash up the hill would not make me late. The "Mt Coot-Tha" is the other main and well known lookout of the city. Mt Coot-Tha is the one I ride around in my video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqOvfEqEyUw and the lookout is gotten to by turning right at the round-a-bout instead of going left like I did in the vid. Both places are CBer havens and as busy as on Fri and Sat nights. Was going to post this as a Bump but saw Mary already has, so added it here instead. Oh, photo taken at the Mt Gravatt lookout.

Every year the house five doors up does this. They have a garage which has been converted into a room w/ glass sliding doors replacing the roller door. Each year they fill that room w/ a nativity scene and  put the light on at night so people can see. This year... nadda. Maybe they finally got fed up trying to compete with the house around the corner who goes all out w/ a complete front yard display - yeah yeah, pics or it didn't happen, ok I'll get em... of the house that it. Nat Scene is another story...

Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: mister on December 16, 2009, 04:25:24 AM
Alpha chose not to ride even when the weather was good. And I'd dare say, even while you are getting snowed on, there ain't too much snowing going on in College Station, that I am aware of. I still ride to work in the temps College Station is getting now.

You, An, are a different kettle of fish. You're subject to Snow and way below freezing. And even though I see a photo of your blue beast parked on dirty snow, the road itself looks clear and I don't understand why you cannot still ride. BUT, I don't live in such a climate. I am like Mary. And I'd have to travel probably a thousand miles south (we are under the equator so south is colder) and then head to the mountains, to get snow. So how about this, An... you can use your car to Travel to the target BUT your bike must still be in the pic. Now, as a "packed away for the winter" bike is not really an easy thing to lug around, how about a Die Cast model of your bike - a 6. So put the die cast 6 on your bonnet or something and take the snap showing the snow too. That way your bike is still in the game. - Or just have the die cast 6 in the image with snow.

I've looked for a die cast GS500 but can only find die cast GSXR.

It's true, the only snow we got here this year was pretty minimal. At the same time, however, I too ride every day, in colder temperatures than we're getting now as well. While my bike may be different, I'm still out there on two wheels every day, dodging cagers who don't see me, pull out in front of me, and generally don't respect my right to the road. It simply isn't practical or economical for me to ride my motorcycle around here when everything I need, want, or use is within a mile or two from where I live.

The roads may LOOK clear, but that's the highway...  the speed of the cars going by kinda blows MOST of the sand and salt away.  Once you hit city streets, you get salt and sand everywhere.

It's still BELOW freezing here, so riding is not an option... considering when the temp DOES get high enough, the snow melts a little.  When that happens, the roads are wet.  Wet roads and sand/salt/dirt aren't a good mix for bikes.  Then when it drops below freezing again, that same water freezes again, creating black ice.

Black ice: road conditions that just look WET, but are infact iced over.  It's the most dangerous road condition that doesn't involve other vehicles IMO.

Your bike with your name on a sign in the background. Completed by JB848 http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=45412.msg569647#msg569647

But the challenge was "a sign" and not the more specific "street sign". So the challenge Could have been completed with a sign that said "Robert's Cleaning" or it could have been the name on a park or the side of a building like a church "St Robert's Cathedral'. So I'm good with the specific Street Sign.

Fixed Gear Bicycle... is that one of those where you pedal back to brake or totally fixed where there is no free running on the front sprocket?

Haven't seen either of those types of bike since ... well, let's just say a lo-o-o-o-o-ong time.  :icon_mrgreen:

Fixed gear is one gear up front on the cranks, the chainring, and one gear fixed to the wheel on the back, the cog. The bikes you pedal back to brake are called coaster brakes. I am specifying totally fixed, no coasting allowed.

Examples:

Oh, and pretty much just because they're fun. You don't get to stop pedaling, ever. If you want to go faster, you pedal faster, if you want to go slower you just pedal slower. My favorite benefit is that I stay MUCH warmer on the ride to work when it's cold because I don't stop moving. You have a much better sense of traction and what your bike is doing in rain/snow. They're simple so you barely have to work on them, they're cheap because there's not many parts, there are less distractions when you're trying to ride in traffic because you don't have to worry about shifting or braking(if you don't have brakes), you just ride it. Pretty much just goes with the "simple is better" idea, and you feel way more connected to your bike.

I love having brakes on my bike. Too many idiots pull out in front of me or step out in front of me without looking. Brakes have saved me numerous times.

But An, as mentioned, they are very simple bikes, easy to maintain, (relatively) light weight, since they don't have derailleurs and cassettes, etc, and usually pretty cheap! They are born on the veolodrome, but have migrated to urban use due to cultural stuff, but basically they are fun and simple, and surprisingly good training bikes. Since you can't stop pedaling when you're moving, it forces you to have a nice smooth cadence (pedal circle), and to maintain your momentum, which means going faster than you normally would on a geared bike. For example, when approaching a hill, I will sprint towards it on the fixed gear so I can maintain my momentum as long as I can while going up. On a geared bike you have the option of downshifting. And because you can't downshift, you use your muscles a lot more which again is good for training.

Technically it would just be a paper rug, and that's still the floor.

I knew I'd most likely get a bike up on front and rear stands, but I was hoping to see a picture of a bike just laying on it's side, or hanging from the ceiling, haha.

My bike has both brakes now, but that's mostly because I want to be able to walk with my original knees when I'm retired. I was extremely smooth when I didn't have brakes. I'm no where near as fluid of a rider in traffic as I used to be when i didn't have them. I also forgot to mention the biggest benefit of fixed gears. Smooth wheelies! Even if you're not impressed by wheelies, you'll still never get to see me in spandex again...

If I had strong enough friends, I'd just have someone help me pick up my bike, it's not that heavy (300lbs?).

My knees are bad enough as it is, and I have no reason to screw them up doing showoff moves like skidding if I don't have to. Thankfully just applying a bit of back-pressure to the pedals isn't bad on the knees, so longer stops aren't much of an issue. Plus, it's not like I absolutely NEED to use the brakes, but they are there for emergencies, which is great. Can't wait to get my bike on the track this summer.

I never messed around with that business anymore. I used to be able to skid for blocks, but that didn't hurt your knees because all of your weight was on the front tire. Otherwise I'd just apply back pressure, and that's when i could feel some pressure building up behind my knee caps. It never actually hurt, I could just feel the pressure and you knew that wasn't a good thing. When I started riding I only had the front brake, then none, but now I just have both. I don't think there's really a need for the back one, but I stuck a freewheel back on the otherside, so I figured I'd keep both brakes incase I ever want to flip the wheel over.

Riding to work the past two days has been a mess though. I've been riding through winter for at least 5 years without a thought about it, but all of a sudden this winter I'm just not really feeling it.

With all this snow and gross weather I can't believe there isn't ONE person who already has their bike up off the ground for some winter work to take a picture. How long do the responses usually take on this game? I'm still new to it.

We've had snow in our part of Scotland for about 11 consecutive days - including a white Christmas!!! - so I'm not surprised. This snow has been awesome... falling with an even spread that has produced lots of beautiful winter scenes; and it's the kind of snow that is great for snowball fights with the kids... I won most of the fights... but felt I had to LET them win some.

The 12/14 foot wide trampoline in the back garden is struggling to cope with two feet of snow in the middle... not sure it will recover after the big thaw... if this lot ever thaws.

And then there's the GS... stuck outside on the drive (under a snow-filled cover) and completely surrounded by a metre of snow.  It hasn't moved an inch for a fortnight and not likely to be moved for another fortnight.  Brake calipers are bound to be ceased again.  I guess the chain might be kaput too.  Hoping they'll all recover fine.

Stay warm.

Dubwise,

The way I see it... failed challenges can still be completed and get Accredited to you. Just that you cannot pick another challenge when you complete it, is all.

I've found a MacDonald Statue which I plan to get a snap of when next I am up that way. It's an old challenge, sure.

As for Police Station... *I* have no problems with it. And we have two types in my city - large purpose-built police stations and smaller stations called Police Beats (housed in standard retail store fronts or converted houses in the middle of neighborhoods, so they can be On The Beat where the action is). But might I suggest... if your jurisdiction is acting all full on paranoid about terrorism, then taking a photo of a police station might not be in Your best interest. So only take said photo if you feel you won't be Questioned right there and then.

Otherwise...

Your bike at a police station (cop shop  :icon_mrgreen:)

The Hedge obstructed view from within the station that I was taking a photo. Thus no suspicion created.

Next challenge: Your bike with a decrepit business sign. More than just a tad faded the sign needs to look almost apocalyptic. The more stained, peeled and faded the better. And even better if the business is actually still in business!

I tried going out the other week when it was like, 16 out?  I was perfectly fine, except the gloves I went out and bought are definitely not for winter riding.  My hands went completely numb after 15 minutes and I had to go home.  I was pretty bundled up, so everything else was fine, but numb hands really complicate the little things like, oh I don't know, shifting and braking.

I think I'll let someone else get this one, haha.

Is this decrepit enough? There was still sign on it a few months ago before the second truck hit it.
Not still in business, though.

I declined to take my bike through the water. But dang, it would easily have solved this challenge HA!  :icon_mrgreen:

Now for clarification.... does that have to be IN water (puddles, river, ocean, etc.) or ON water (on a wet pavement/road). Just want to know if I can just throw a cup of water under each wheel making the underneath wet and if that will count?

Dunno. That doesn't feel right. Maybe once it stops raining, I'll feel differently.

It's 54F here. 25F two days ago. The drains are still frozen so the town is flooding. This weather is so wrong in so many ways.

Well, ages ago it was decided/voted on that other bikes could play. It's a way to keep the game going for times GSers cannot get the challenge. And it shows the GS Rider Welcoming Attitude.

Snowman has been done already. Well, miniature snowman on the seat, to be precise. Mary got it.

Now, if you mean, a snowman on the ground made out of real snow, then That is different enough...

DARN IT!!!!!

All day today I worked less than 500 yards away from a QANTAS Maintenance Hanger and there were Two planes outside the hanger doors.

But hang on... we've already had an aircraft. I got it with this pic...

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm3.static.flickr.com%2F2560%2F3914161981_99f5790ff8_o.jpg&hash=2845fa6dd03cec5695a43efdb8f38eb16da6ded3)

This isn't a model. But nor is it flying anymore. So you mean something that Can still fly, right? As in, it currently flies but could be on the ground at the airstrip or even in the air coming in to land?

If so, then just a quiet reminder to NOT jump at this if airport security is pretty full on where you are and might drag you away as a "Terrorist" taking planing shots.

That's why you gots to do it from further away. Like a nearby park somewhere under the landing approach route. Or in an industrial estate somewhere under a flight path.

That's how I managed to take this shot... we happened to be working under a flight path. There was a crane on the site and I thought... it'd make a real cool photo to get one with the plane and the crane.

Couldn't get the building in it with the Large sign as it's on the main road side which is also the exit for the drivethru. So, nowhere to park and get the large sign. So this was taken at the drivethru entrance.

The day you made this the challenge, I see a Gixxer for the 1st time in my 'hood. But I'm in the cage and he's riding. No photo.

The next day, I walk out of the shopping center with my groceries and here it is again. Just putting his helmet on and riding off. Same guy.

Now... if you said R6... then, today I double nailed it...  :icon_mrgreen:

Otherwise, I'll have to schedule a trip to my nearest Suzuki dealer and hope they have one Outside. Or... go for a ride on Sat to the small town where all the GIX and R# guys show off at the coffee shop.

But if you tell me there is a Gixxer there, then I'm all good with it.

So I went looking for a Porsche Cayenne.  Figured the local community college president might drive something like that.  No, it's probably a Lincoln.  Next thought, doctor's offices.  Nope, lots of Lexi, and BMW X5s. 

Ah ha!  Physician parking at the hospital! 

Nope.  A few BMWs, Caddies.

Then something caught my eye at a realtor's offices.

Not a Porsche, but an Audi Q7. 

30 seconds after the pic, I see a HOT blond walking toward it.  So pulling the camera out again would have been too obvious...   :embarrassed:

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?

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.

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.

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.

Post by: mister on April 20, 2010, 07:42:11 PM
When I ride to work I have two ways I can go. Either way I ride past a prison - different prisons. I ride right past their main entrance gate. On neither road is a sign advising Not to pick up hitchhikers. I could Maybe get a pic of a sign that said "Such and Such Prison / Correctional Center" (as long as I could do it without being seen - as taking pics of prisons is highly suspect) but no hitchhiking signs. Must be an Australia thing to not have such signs. So I'm out...

"No Hitchhiking Sign" near prison.

I'm a Yes on them.

All the ones I've seen are too far away from the road to get a good pic. Although, today, driving around for work, I saw a good one. Hemmed in by broken machinery, it was also smashed up. I had intended to get it on the way home. But a torrential downpour and complete and utter soaking put an end to that.

Anyways.... the next challenge is?

Don't do it Mary.... I can get it.

We used to have Doctors around everywhere. From home - with their little red square lit up Doctor sign - as well as scattered about the place. Then, some time in the 80s, a Doc thought it'd be a good idea to put five or six Docs together. Have one main reception area. Make it a bit fancy. And suddenly, the sole Doc working out of an office disappeared. And it became... Medical Centers. Of course, all that's there is Doctors. And they run like production lines. People in, see reception, wait, see next available Doc (unless you want to see one specifically), and out again. All done in half hour or so. Less with an appointment.

So while they are called Medical Centers, they are really just Doctor's Offices.

The other variation is the Specialist Center. Where different but compatible Specialists get together.

Anyway. I'll try to get this on the way home from work today.

Been done, sort of.  At that time it was not specified "out of water".  So maybe this one's fine.

Jeremy,

Boat had already been done. And the photo was of a boat out of the water. Granted, the "out of water" was not specified in the challenge, even though that's what the photo posted was. So, I'd think... the boat thing is fine.

Even though Hawk996 got the "someone else's GS" challenge, it wasn't TWO GS's. It was a pic of his wife's GS. So I think "two GSs is also fine.

to clarify, a pic of your gs next to someone elses.  my example, my gs parked next to cstilt's gs

In related news:
Some guy just hit me with his car, as I was WALKING through the parking lot.  Not riding.  WALKING. 

Stared at me as I pulled into the lot and took my gear off.  Got in his car and nailed it.  Hit me, and nearly ran over three kids and their mom.  If I'm lying, I'm dying.

Called the police on me for cracking his back window with my helmet.  What a fine citizen.

Just an old, small-town store.  The further out of town, the better.  Preferably with gas pumps that no longer function or without LCD displays, and lots of interesting signs in front.  You know the type.


And, thanks for your patience.  I'm off to a pretty rough start.   :bowdown:

Might want to get a new helmet off HIS insurance after an impact like that! I would have loved that one. Sir do you know why he has a crack in his back window. "officer after I was hit by this car my helmet went up in the air and I guess it hit the back of his car"  I'm sure the onlookers who saw him hit you wouldn't have said a word unless you live in we hate motorcyclist land!

Hope your all right!

The cop didn't even bother to find pencil and paper. 

Good point about the helmet, but there's nothing I can do.  Not gonna waste anymore time caring, either.  Just to get further frustrated... nah. 

Now hurry up and take some pictures!  Is this the "Geriatric and Students 500" Forum?

There is a small rural community another 15 clicks further from where I got this. BUT, to me, the store looks Modern and not at all like a Country Store would be thought of to look like.

This USED to be a store that sold gas. Now it is abandoned as you can see. If this is acceptable then the next challenge is: your bike at an Indian Restaurant

In Aust, we don't have UHaul Trucks - that I know of (I've never seen one). BUT, we do have UHaul Trailers. But they sometimes trade under "Australia Wide Trailers" and they ALL run our of gas stations. So I can certainly get something with UHaul on it later today (my time). Then you can judge whether it's suitable enough to meet your requirements.

New tank bag?  How is it?

I've had it for a few months now. When I do a day ride I only take it instead of the larger rear pack. The bag in question is the MotoDry SprintSports http://www.motonational.com.au/product_details.php?pid=1218

I have a few tools in the side pocket along with some coin money for gas, batteries and spare memory cards in the hardened pocket that faces me, a small monkey-grip-type camera tripod in the other side pocket with some zip ties and whatever else, In the main area I carry a couple of water bottles, camera, duct tape, ball cap. In the see through pocket there is room to put my phone and wallet in the GPS Holder. I don't have a GPS and carry my wallet and phone elsewhere. So instead I have some paracetamol, wipes to wipe down my visor, some paper towels, pen, sheet of paper, printed out map with directions of where I am going. And there is still room left.

For MY purposes it's well suited. The only draw back is the width of the bottom of the clear window. I cannot fold a A4 sheet in half and have it sit nicely. The bottom corners are a tiny bit too wide. So I fold them in a little bit. Otherwise, I love it.

This photo was taken on the way back from running extra errands where I needed the increased capacity of the large rack bag. I had directions hand written in the tank bag and visible.

It's a Magnetic one. I've had no issues with scratches. I usually ride with a small piece of 1mm see through vinyl which I cut to size as the base onto which I lay the bag. And it doesn't budge. Even at 90mph it stays still. And when I'm done, I pick up the bag with it's handle and walk off. Came with some carry straps so it could be a backpack or something. But I don't use them. And has a raincoat that pulls out and covers it all in the case of wet weather.

Not too big or bulky. Nor too small and of no use, I think it is baby bear just right.

Next challenge: Your bike illegally parked- sidewalk, fire lane, loading zone, etc.

Hmmm... can I resubmit my bookstore pic... I was on the sidewalk? No? Needs to be taken AFTER the challenge is issued? Ok. Be back in a few....

I use to think we didn't have them too. Then one day after heavy rain I noticed a green pole near a creek that had a solar panel on it and a small antenna. Obviously, some kind of monitor w/ solar powered transmitter. Since then, I have identified several solar powered things around my locality. Some illuminated signs at school zones that come on when the kidlets are coming to and going from their school. A light. Other transmitters.

We have all kinds of solar powered signs in Seattle. Usually ones indicating the bridges are closed.

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.

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi988.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faf9%2FTheRealSpinner%2FSuzuki%2520Bobber%2FSSPX0435.jpg&hash=1004dd387ae5f49619a14b6041accabb79ff9afb)

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"

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.

Post by: TheRealSpinner on June 23, 2010, 02:42:23 PM
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...

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.

Yeah, cause everybody knows you don't have to pay for nuts and bolts.
They're free.  Especially titanium.  They pay you to take them.  

Here:
-bike
-seat
-green fairing piece
-black trim fairing
-left turn signal
-air horn
-airhorn relay
-right side mirror
-mirror retention/extension assembly
-ignition key

Well, I apologise for the difficulty in my challenges.  I knew that the first one I proposed would be difficult to do, but I thought somebody might try to get it.  The second challenge... I thought there would be more people with disassembled bikes.  I just wanted everybody to get a chance.  My bike was appart for more than a year, it would have been nice to get a chance to share part of this adventure.

Homer, what the F*** is your problem.  Why are you always a jerk to everybody, muddying up the forum with bulls**t?  I'm just trying to have a little fun.  Look, you were able to fulfill the challenge.  Good for you.  As for your comment on my bike, I built my frame.  I didn't buy it, I built it, along with the rest of the bike, as well as the wiring.  I wouldn't have said I built it if I hadn't.  Please don't try to bring me down to your level, just because I don't have that ugly green paint all over my bike.

I think it'd be a good idea for the joint to at least hint that it serves coffee in its sign. So anything with the word Cafe in it would make it. Like a McCafe - all our McDonalds stores now have them so I'm sure the USA would have as well. Even our BP gas stations now have Wild Bean Cafes within them.

But this is such an intriguing challenge, I'll get this after work just so I have a pic of my bike and a Ferrari together.

That is one GOOD looking bike!   :cheers:

Black and red contrast so well and the understated logs are the perfect finishing touch.

Homer, what the F*** is your problem.  Why are you always a jerk to everybody, muddying up the forum with bulls**t?  I'm just trying to have a little fun.  Look, you were able to fulfill the challenge.  Good for you.  As for your comment on my bike, I built my frame.  I didn't buy it, I built it, along with the rest of the bike, as well as the wiring.  I wouldn't have said I built it if I hadn't.  Please don't try to bring me down to your level, just because I don't have that ugly green paint all over my bike.

-SPiNNeR-

Strangely enough I thought about this portion of this thread while on a hike yesterday.  What occurred to me is that Homer seems like the people in my life who have yet to realize that they're not significantly smarter than most of the people around them.  However, they believe that they are quite smart, yet frustrated with their inability to create anything with all of that genius they generally level a sarcastic tone against people who do.  This situation is playing out on a micro level in this thread but is observable in many of Homer's posts that he has made.

Peace,
Syzygy

PS I've got a good spot for the speed indicator sign challenge, will have it up by Friday  :flipoff:

Nah, this one won't fail. I can get this one. A real full-sized Ferrari. I just need to finish work at a reasonable hour. And 12 hours At work doesn't leave a lot of winter daylight left to get the pic. But worst case, I'll get a night time shot with a prolonged exposure (which would look good anyway). Yep, I'm determined to get this one.

Syzygy: As it was a failed challenge and another was picked, if you get it you'll get the credit for it but can't pick another challenge cause we'd then have two on the go.

You can complete your own challenge Only After one week has passed. And, in fact, my take is never to issue a challenge unless you know you can get it if noone else can - so we don't end up with Failed challenges.

Patience Padawan. I'll be getting it.

It was overcast in DC today so I couldn't get the shutter speeds I needed to pull this off with one hand.  Here is the best I could do.  The first pic I was riding past the sign at 24, but it's blurry, the second pic I was stopped.  Figured we could average the two, or somethin'. Speed limit was 25 on South Dakota Ave.

Looks like you got the previously failed one. I believe it said an electronic speed sign and your bike with the sign reading less then the speed limit but not zero. Nothing about you having to be riding in. Good job!

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

We cannot tell the speed indicated in your motion shot. But, I reckon it's still a go.

FanOfLou: Yep, even if someone else gets it, I'll get this Ferrari one anyways  :icon_mrgreen: :thumb:

And outside the dealership. They also sell Alfa Romeos - pictured here (notice the Old one in the showroom). Maseratis and Audis. Bentley too. Probably sell some other kind of expensive European cars too.

will rain do LOL! I really don't want reclaimed water that we use on the lawns to touch my bike. If I can't drink it it ain't goin on my bike. Leaves some nasty  water marks.

But let's keep tugging along. It would figure the week I'm in the hospital the game picks up :confused:

Rage,

Mary doesn't WANT to let her bike get wet with That water. Doesn't mean the challenge cannot be done.

I have water restrictions. Hand held watering only. Doesn't mean I cannot do as bassmechanicsz said.

If you change it just cause someone didn't Want to do it, you'll be forever changing it cause now.... I don't want to contaminate my bike with Guinnea Pig Cooties - if I won't put it in my mouth I won't put it on my bike. See?

The original challenge is Doable. Leave it as the sprinkler and see how it goes.

No, I didn't say change it it's all good man! I actually was thinking maybe I could just put the sprinkler on it we have seen some very awesome improvs on here. I know for me was putting the Florida snow man on my bike when someone asked for the snow man.

I dig the creative stuff never change it on my accord. Well, except that get one with a cop writing a ticket by your bike. I think whoever gets that should be the grand puba of GStwins and get a t-shirt.

Next Challenge:  Your bike at a golf course since today was the perfect day to go golfing.  Mad props if you have your clubs in the picture.

Shot a 91 today but not to bad for only my 3rd time this season.

It's the quickest way to ruin a perfectly good walk.

Basically, you carry a bag full of different - but similar - sticks. You walk around a huge paddock trying to smack a white ball with a stick. You place a small stick called a Tee into a certain area of ground also called a Tee - so you stick a tee in a tee. There are bunkers but no nazis. It's all very confusing. Like I said, the quickest way to ruin a perfectly good walk.

Mr.Deux,

For a list of Completed Challenges, see my sig file.

The point of the challenge is not to see who if anyone at all can get them, but who can get them first.

I don't think your challenge will be completed by anyone. But we have seven days so let's wait and see...

I just checked my state. The highest point in the entire state is Mount Bartle Frere with an elevation of 5,322 ft (1,622m) but no roads go to it. The distance this is from the state's capital city is roughly 1,000 miles - so... I'm definitely out of this one. Interestingly, of the 6 states and 2 territories in Aust, 3 do not have anything above a mile!

I think we'll be waiting for someone from Colorado to get this  :icon_mrgreen:

I really REAAAALLLLLLY wanna get this one today.  It's only 3 hours away, and I can grab the AVDrider tag at the same time.

But, I'm worried about having too much fun going up the mountain and wrecking my new bike.  I have a 2:1 mountain to low-side ratio, so far. 
Anybody in NC wanna go with, so I don't get bored and throttle-crazy?

Fine.  I got this.  

But, I want something in return - the ability to pick a new challenge if something like this comes up again.  If it goes for at least a day and everyone reaches agreement first.  
And Mister gets to kick me out if I'm a jerk about it, no questions asked.  At least until I apologize.  

7 hr trip for a single picture.  Throw me a bone.

Alright, I'm leaving!  If someone bruces me before I get back - I hope your cat gets AIDS.

You get Nothing in return. This ain't no Deal Game. Make an effort to get the pic to satisfy yourself. But we do not play "I owe you" games here.

Each challenge has 7 days to be completed. Some never get completed and simply get added to the list of FAILED Challenges. Which can then still be completed to get kudos for doing it, but no right to pick any other challenge. Only the winner of the Current Challenge can pick the next challenge.

Not sure if you are talking about me or Homer.......yes I did......but not too bad......Went up to ski basin at 10,000......no signs except at the base of the lift......Perhaps a trip to jail shooting for that shot......  Great ride through the mountains though...  Homer got the shizam.....but......will post up what took me 4 hours to find.  I really like this game BTW

Jay,

To help get interest in the game a while back, it was agreed that those without a GS can play.

Homer,

If you're not gonna pick another challenge then it will revert to Firewalker who also got it. You have had plenty of time since you said you were gonna have a sleep. The list of completed challenges is in my sig. Double check with what's on the list and then put something up. Otherwise, in 24 hours Firewalker gets to choose.

Firewalker,

Care to pick a challenge and keep the game going?

It's been like 4 days since Homer posted the pic and said he needed to Think about a new challenge. And even though he posted elsewhere after saying he needed to think about it, he has still done nothing. So... seeing as he hasn't offered a new challenge, the current challenge is still up for grabs. As you also got the challenge, that means, you put up a new challenge before Homer, it's your win! If you decline, Mr Duex gets to pick a new challenge as it's been over a week.

For the sake of keeping the game going I say the next challenge is to take a picture of your bike in front of a Harley Davidson dealership.  Bonus if you get one of the bikini clad sales girls to pose on your bike. :woohoo:

Not sure what happened to Homer.....wasn't much mention of injuries with lowside..... hope that's not what's up.  Anway, let's keep it going.

We don't have Denny's Diner in Aust - we used to, but they closed up shop. But I might be able to make this work with some creativity....

Yeah, I noticed that. I tried doing something that everyone could participate in, but I'm not a very creative person :/

Thanks, once I round up some money I'm going to take the decals off, at least i hope to.

warning, the decal on the tank is buried under the clear, at least it was on mine

Yeah, same with mine. I wish it wasn't though, I'd love to have a straight black bike.

Or you could just wait until one pops up that interests you. OR maybe even complete a challenge and suggest something that is challenging enough  :icon_idea:. No need to abandon everything but you'll be back anyway....

Im not sure if the local hotels have rates up, but I guess I can take a ride around and see  :D. Isnt that the point of the game? Lol  :icon_rolleyes:

nightly rate was to far away to get a good shot in, so weekly will have to do  :thumb:

Hotel / Motel....whatever you like.  Tried to think of one that most people could get so it wasn't specific to the states.  The game was dorment for several days and now it's back to life.

There aren't any boats near me either!
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: mister on August 14, 2010, 11:38:45 PM
Only thing I can think of is a vehicle ferry. There are only three in the city - two which take cars to the islands and one which crosses a river. Island ferries won't let vehicles into the loading area unless they have a ticket. River crossing I don't know. But if *I* was on the ferry with the bike, how would you know it was a boat? maybe push the bike on, take a photo while still docked - assuming I am not holding up the river crossing business - and remove bike again. What a predicament. HA!

Might need to get creative on this one...

I thought you already did a "next to boat" challenge, so I didn't think this would count:

This is from an 1100 mile trip I took last weekend.

I don't have a picture of the bike ON the boat, though I did drive inside and ferry across Lake Huron.

If it counts, your next challenge is your bike at a campsite, official or otherwise.  There must be some indication it's a campsite like a fire pit, tent, etc.

The annual Show is in town. Wood is such a Permanent thing - so no go with this passing show.

The Amusement Parks an hour away have all gone Metal. I could maybe get a coaster with some wood in the pic, but....

The view from the sideline is good  :icon_mrgreen:

There should be plenty - like Hershey Park, What used to be called Magic Mountain outside LA, That place in Cour d Lane Idaho, Adventurland outside of Des Moines, and others. I see them advertised on TV and the Discovery Channel all the time.
If no one finds a wooden coaster by Saturday night - let's ease up and make it ANY roller coaster - wood, metal, in operation or falling down.
I honestly though this would be easier.
And your bike does not have to be riding the coaster, just be in the same photo.

I've done a little research.... two fireworks companies in the city own multiple monster trucks each. Alas, it is raining today. So maybe tomorrow. And then hope their trucks aren't on the road at some Show somewhere. There is also a wreckers with one out front - 90 minute ride away. Worst case, I buy a model monster truck and use that.

OK - I think I got it! This looks pretty jacked up. Took all day and 45 miles of riding (but it was fun). There was one I followed for 12 blocks then lost it. That must be it - jacked up trucks have stealth capability. Here is one I snuck up on.

If this counts, then here is a fun challenge: Your GS goes bowling!
Yes, it is the start of bowling season so show your GS with bowling pins, bowling ball, bowling shirt - ten-pin, candle pin, duck pin or even Canadian 5 pins. Just show bowling pins or balls with your GS so we can pretend your GS is bowling. Real or toy pins. Parked in front of a bowling alley? no - that's not fun. So grab a bowling pin or ball and show it with your GS. This one should be easy!

Mary
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: adidasguy on August 29, 2010, 10:38:55 AM
OK - so LETS SHOW OUR GS BOWLING!
I bet someone can be really creative with this one.
(The ultimate would be 10 GS's set up like bowling pins and someone rolling a beach ball at them. Now that would be just too cool!)
The quest is wide open to just about anything bowling except in front of a bowling alley (But if you could get your GS INSIDE a bowling alley? Cool!). Bowling shoes on the center stand and a shirt? Ball on the seat wearing a helmet? Aiming at some pins? Be creative!

Let's Go Bowling!

We had a Cold Stone Creamery in town for about a year, but they couldn't compete with the local places.
How widespread a franchise are they?

If I pick the next challenge then I don't get to run around on my bike looking for that perfect picture.

And you've got some very personal monuments that mean a lot.

:bowdown: You pick.

it's a game. games are meant to change and be remembered. i'll remember homer's piece. eff the bike, it's just a commonality. the backdrops are the f%$king CHOCOLATE that holds the game together.

mary was the challenger, let her decide.

i really want to share a cool shot of my non-gs if/when the right challenge comes (hello, overlook, train trussle, bridge, swamp, bayou, etc)

I think the most fun is riding around looking for that picture. Any excuse to go for a ride and get out of the office. Right?

War Monument was already done! It was Veterans/Military Memorial and it was gotten by Esteban http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=45412.msg549057#msg549057

So really, Mary needs to pick another challenge - or - something besides a Cannon needs to be photographed because a Monument is a Structure created/erected to commemorate persons or events - in this case War, so it'd need to be a Structure which Commemorates War. A personal memento is not a Monument (Structure). Mary?

Non-GS500s can play, adidasguy.

I didn't say anything and you put words into my mouth on this post of course I was going to count it but since I don't live on this forum you decided to put them in my mouth for me thanks. But it doesn't matter anyway because 1,235 post ago someone posted something similar. Woulda ya look at that you even finally got to me!

This should be easy (easier than me!) There must be a dozen abandoned sites in every city.

We had a tunnel built in the city. It opened four months ago. This first shot is where the workers Used to park. Long since closed up...

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm5.static.flickr.com%2F4133%2F4955813356_0d5d0aa654_z.jpg&hash=60634304af48c12aebe835f7b112375224733968)

This was a horded site while the same project was going. This is where the TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) was pulled out of the ground. There WAS a 35 meter (115 feet) deep shaft in the middle of this block. Once the machine was out, the top of the hole was "bridged" over and covered with dirt. The hording was recently pulled down and this fence put in its place. Abandoned to the elements...

Out of curiosity I just did a Google on it to see what Google had in their system....

This was the parking lot. Pretty well always had cars as the project was 24/7. Also a Guard who would check to see your Project Induction Card to stop people using it as Train-station Parking

or

"LARGE ANIMAL" road sign? (aka deer crossing: animal is large, sign any size)

OK - we have a holiday.
Take a picture of your GS with a Bar-B-Q. If you're not in the US or not having a Labor Day party, your bar-b-q will still be OK.
And let's make it interesting - let is also see what you're bar-b-q-ing. Grill must be on and something cooking. Charcoal or propane or wood fired - don't really care (I'm not Hank Hill selling propane and propane accessories.)

Devon,

The idea isn't to see who - if anyone at all - is maybe remotely able to get the challenge. It is to see who can get it first.

In a cave.... no surprises there it failed. Can YOU get it?

Population sign UNDER 100?

Unless you can get this one, I also reckon it'll fail too. BUT, I could be wrong. I'll be riding through some pretty small joints next weekend. So maybe. But I doubt even they are Under 100 even if they have a population sign. Guess we'll see though after seven days...

I'd be happy to get a picture of my bike in a cave. Unfortunately it is in pieces right now and I need to wait for the new chain to arrive before I can do that... I will after that, assuming I manage to get it back together...  :thumb:

I'm sorry my challenges seem impossible. That certainly was not my intent. I was actually having a difficult time coming up with an idea for this one and I remembered the less than 100 sign was a challenge on another forum's photo game I saw a while back.. it was found pretty quick. I can think of a few towns I've driven few with those signs..

How about under 1000 then if 100 is too difficult? I am sure most people can find one of those.

Well, according to http://www.city-data.com/, there aren't any towns with a population less than 100 in CA, so looks like I'm out of this one  :icon_sad: ...

-SPiNNeR-

I think that list is incomplete... Maybe doesn't include unincorporated areas?

Here is one someone else found in Marin County...

I'm pretty sure Oakville is under 100 as well... though am not positive.
Also those are both up North... I don't know where you are located.
Doesn't really matter though, changed it to 1000.

Alright, you got me.  I just did a quick search for population of cities in CA.  I'm even from Marin County (although, I currently reside in Chico).  I might have to do a better search...

I've also been dragged over the coals from posting too difficult of a task.  Would have worked well for you, though, one task I asked was for a picture of your bike in pieces.

We Had "your town/city population sign" which was completed by jfinstrom. But the challenge wasn't a Specific Number.

Dogtown? Is that a place or just some sign nailed to a tree somewhere?

I think there's more chance of this one being done.

It's a place. Sign is just all marked up from the constantly changing population.

Yes that would have worked well..

I've actually been exploring Marin a bit lately... mainly around the Tamales Bay area... lots of good roads

I'm from Sonoma. You might be able to help me out with something. I'm actually heading up to Chico next month to visit my friend who is going there. Any ideas for a fun route there?

My vote would be OK because I want to see the game get moving again.

The game should not be how hard it is to get a picture.
The game should be a RACE to see who can get that picture first with a little searching required (or who is gutsy enough to pose in their underwear! LOL!)

NEW CHALLENGE your gs next to a building or site a movie was shot. must be recognizable. Please also say the movie and scene. screen shots == brownie points. I still like the <1000 pop sign though.

Movie shot:

This shot of the Bank of Statesboro is taken at the location of the cafe scene in Now and Then. A coming of age story about 4 girls growing up in Indiana. The scene looks out the window of the cafe onto the bank building and the adjacent theater.

The movie was shot in 1995, and the cafe is now gone (it's a bank parking lot now). Demi Moore produced the movie, and here is a shot of her and some production staff in front of the old bank during production.

Next challenge: Show your bike with something you just bought for your bike BEFORE you install it. You can show it in the package, the shipping box, etc. It doesn't have to be really brand new - you could have bought a used part but it is NEW for your bike. If you just have the part and no packing, then please show a before (with the part like on the seat) and an after (after you put it on). Should be easy - could be anything... new lever... light... mirror... accessory... bars... bar ends... whatever as long as you're giving your bike a present to make her run prettier, better, faster, higher, just run or you're pimping your ride!  Bikes love presents!

What I don't see is SOLD signs. Realtors don't typically put "under contract", "sale pending", or "sold" signs up because they limit the number of possible leads they would need if the sale falls through.

Well, if you had a stuffy animal cat I suppose I could allow that as long as it was sickenly cute and adorable. LOL cats?
I wonder how nauseatingly cute someone can get with their cat on their bike? You know, that tosh.0 type picture so unbelievably cute that you just feel like puking!  :oops:

Wow! It really was a GS500! and let's have respect for the dead: no puking at dead cats - even if they are on a GS500 (no, that cat was alive when the picture was taken. It died in 2002 and not from dropping the bike, either.)

Good one. I'll give it to you. First to post a pix plus you're new here and you have the same model as me  :D  
Enjoy the feeling of winning! It doesn't last long.

OK then you picked it: Your GS and a dog (probably that does NOT include unattractive dates  :icon_eek: )
But hate to say, dog has been done. You have to pick something else.

You can search the list to be sure it is a new challenge. make it fun and not too hard. We hate to see the game get stuck. It is more a race to get the picture than a challenge for something hard. We like to see the challenge then jump on the bike and go shoot that picture. as if we really need a reason to ride!

http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=45412.msg575727#msg575727


PS: the WIKI page and home page (when it gets un-hacked) have topics on mods. One is how to remove those fugly stickers on the side cowl and fuel tank. makes her look better.

PSPS: I would still love to see a pukingly adorable cat photo. Just for the fun of it and to see if you can really get your cat to stay long enough for a photo.

Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: Firstoni on October 06, 2010, 05:12:29 PM
Currently the only Mod I am looking at is getting her name on her (probably a nice white vinyl sticker)  um gs and a dog has been done ..... so then lets see.....

Your gs next too .... a tennis court ^_^
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: adidasguy on October 06, 2010, 05:29:39 PM
TENNIS COURT it is. Let the challenge begin!

I guess removing the fugly warning stickers isn't really a mod, but looks better with those 3 removed (Warm with hair dryer until you can peel them off).
What's her name? Mine is Suzi and now has a personalized license plate. Easier to remember than those goofy license plate numbers.
Our bikes started out the same. I changed bars to the factory European ones, changed windshield and added side marker lights, removed warning stickers. Thinking of a Tarozzi rear set. Will try on Junior (the '92) first. Getting white rims ready for her.

For the name - places will make cut outs with just the words and no background. Look for that. It will make your bike happier. They like attention.

Her name is Serenity, just remembered when I bought her from the dealer he said the same thing about removing the 3 stickers to me lol, how do you like the EU bars, and whats different about them? The acquisition story for her is kinda long and ends with a chocolate cake.   Thinking about it last night I guess there are somethings I might like to change, the seat being first, both in comfort and I would like to be able to cowl it. I haven't really thought about changing the pegs, I look at the rear end and can't decide whats not right about it (the fugly fender needs to be chopped down) but besides that I am not sure what I want to do, maybe after I can find a cowl / seat and do the fender chop I will figure it out....  Was also thinking about a new gauge or gauge cluster ... i'm just a digital type of guy =P

Alot of my mods are actually to me, started with an Icon sacrifice jacket because that's the only thing they had at the dealership that fit me and had a decent set of pads in it, and I wasn't about to drive it outta there without some body armor into Houston traffic for riding a bike for the first time in 10 years. The icon jacket was too hot to go riding in so I bought a joe rocket mesh jacket (matches the bike better anyway) which is really nice to ride in during the day, but now when I leave in the mornings its 50 degree's outside so I am back in the icon jacket and wear the liner out of the jr jacket under it but its still cold when I have to get on the hwy (but not bad at the end of the day without the liner when its 80 - 85 degree) starting too look at leather jackets (kinda like the look of the shift octane and street fighter hybrid jackets, just not sure how warm they are at speed or how hot they will be at the end of the day, and will probably need a new set of gloves... today ... my jr mesh ones just are not doing it in the morning last 2 days my fingers where numb by the time I got to work, think that's causing me to grip too hard on the throttle too, wrist is sore this morning.  Hrm this is probally longer then I should be randomly inserting into the pictures thread.... sorry...

Danielarms,

Welcome to the game.

We don't just pick random things to get. To offer up a challenge you First have to complete the previous challenge. And currently, that is, your bike with a tennis court in the pic. Whomever gets that challenge can issue a new challenge.

But before they do, please check the link in my sig file http://tinyurl.com/GS500PictureGame because it lists ALL previous challenges. (Press F3 on your keyboard to bring up a Word Find window - quicker than reading them all.)

Previously, we did have a cop challenge. It was not completed at the time. Later I got this...

Yeah, but it goes over much better on sites that are smaller, tighter communities. I started it on the EF civic website which has about 250 members, and it is as epic there as it is here. I was going to start it on gixxer.com but did a quick search and found it had been started a couple of times and was an epic flop. Same applies to the 8th gen civic site, and importatlanta.com as well. The most epic one I have seen is here     http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=303910&highlight=picture+game

No - I mean put a Halloween costume on it. The way it is painted every day doesn't count as a costume.
A costume is something worn that is not your everyday wear - for a party or festive occasion.
How your bike looks every day is not a costume. Its just your paint job. Plus it still looks like a bike. And not even a GS500!

Come on - give your bike a COSTUME - make it look like a dog, cat, skeleton, truck, boat, pile of fur, mobile DJ stand, fruit stand --- something. Be creative.

Its Halloween. Lets farkel the geebeeziung our of your bike.Add a horse head and jump on as the headless horseman? Lay it dow with baby pumpkins nursing on it. Get your kids to do it! Put a junker in a crusher and say your bike is a coffee table. Di I have to load mine up with fur and skins and a drum, spear and a war bonnet and call her "Riding Bull"? Put her on a navajo blanket and call her "sitting bike"?

Making a bike look like another bike is not very creative and doesn't fit the spirit of the holiday.

So let's get hopping! Let your kids do it

Tiger,

Thanks for sharing a photo of your bike.

The idea of the game is... you need to complete the current challenge. At the moment, that is a pic of your bike at a Japanese Restaurant. If you are the first person to post a pic of your bike at a Japanese Restaurant then you get to pick what the next challenge will be. See my Sig file for a link to a list of completed challenges.

Turns out I was riding past a small Japanese restaurant every day on my way to work.  I stopped today and took a picture.  As it was too early in the morning, the sign on the door says "closed", but I hope this will still do.  As usual, apologies for a crappy picture: all I had was my mobile phone.  If this doesn't cut it, tell me and I'll get a better picture tomorrow.

As we talked about this game being about who gets it first as opposed to who manages to get it at all, here's a simple one: your bike at a barber or a hair salon.

You see the sand?  Right at the mailboxes it is packed enough to support the sidestand, no problem. But where I decided to turn around it is about 6 inches deep! Yeah, I dropped it. >:(

So, the next challenge is your bike in the sand. Laying on it's side is optional.

LOL I would love to do this but my dad is 4 states away and probably wouldn't go near my GS if I paid him, dudes a snob when it comes to bikes. "If it does say HD on the side its not worth riding, and why the heck did you buy a 500, you should be on at least an 883 ... blah blah blah....."-_-

Okay for clarification. A bikie as in someone who is part of a bike gang (predominantly HD owners) who wear leather vests/jackets with their club logos on them and may or may not partake in extra activities out side of normal society.

In my case I'd get my bike with a member of the gladiators sitting on it with his glad vest on.

Ok. So you said GANG right, as opposed to CLUB. In other words, 1%ers

Not something like this... (or does something like this do?)

I'm planning to do a Santa's Toy Run this Saturday.  Should be a friend of mine there with his "colors" on. Or another tough looking biker dude- bald head, beard, tattoos...  rides a Honda Big Ruckus. With horns on the front.

<edit>
Friend with the colors was too busy talking to get on my bike.  Probably wouldn't get on it anyway...

<rant>
I don't think I'll be doing the toy run anymore.  Probably drop off the toy and ride away.  It was painful to ride behind someone who doesn't take it seriously and wanders all over the lane - with her 5-year old grand daughter on the back wearing a chrome hat that was several sizes too big.  Her husband was up ahead, not doing much better on a gold wing with his other grand daughter, about 4 years old with the same size lid as her big sister.  Cute as hell sitting still but made me a little sick seeing the chrome dome flopping about in the breeze and her feet not even reaching the footboards.

Dear picture game:

   I loved you. I cared for you. I tried to comply with your every want and need. But that just wasn't enough, and you are now gone. You changed, started wanting things out of the normal and taking erratic turns, asking things of me that no man is capable of. I don't know what it is that you are looking for, but I hope that you find it.

Love, Gavyn.

P.S.: I want my pictures back.

So, let me get this straight...

At the earliest (we're talking the most Christmassy of Christmassy people here), Christmas trees won't be up for a week, right?  Meanwhile, we're stuck with ANOTHER pic that is pretty much impossible to get (at least for an entire week).

And we wonder why the picture game is dying...
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: adidasguy on November 22, 2010, 12:02:13 PM
I think I'll opt out of the picture game.

How long since a winning photo was posted? (or that is, how many post ago was it?)
This fun game has turned into a personal blog of what everyone is doing all the time "My neighbor is doing...", "I think I....", "My girlfriend's family..."

I thought it was a photo challenge, not twitter. When you get the picture, you post it and the next challenge. Next comes the next picture and new challenge.

This endless blogging and twittering in the photo challenge is boring and a waste of time.

There's about 30 of them back there, good ol' Wal-Mart.

NEXT CHALLENGE: Your bike with your favorite Waffle House employee.

I am on a first name basis with about 30 between 4 locations, so surely somebody knows one. They must be in uniform, if not in front of their work.

Post by: 007brendan on November 23, 2010, 12:15:55 PM
Hey, I have an idea.

How about we make a giant list of all the possible picture challenges.  When someone wins the challenge, they pick the next one from the list.  That way, there's a sanity check on the list beforehand, and we can cull any challenges that are too location specific or just don't seem like good challenges.

Just an idea.  It could be that the game has gone on too long and we've just run out of good ideas.  Maybe we should start a new thread and reset the list.

Man, the old game on the R6 board had like three/four times the number of challenges. So I don't think it needs a reset.

A list of possible challenges could be doable. I mean, I've got my own list with like a dozen things on it. I compile it by seeing stuff when I ride and I think... that'd be something for the game. All kinds of businesses (retail and industrial estate - open the yellow pages for ideas, loads to choose from and there can be variations such as car hire, motorcycle hire, costume hire, party hire, formal hire, dj hire, dukebox hire, tool equipment hire, etc., etc.), different kinds of machinery/vehicles/plant, street names, signs, certain types of structure or parts of a structure (revolving door, for example, as Part of a structure). If it's a noun it's a thing and it's something that can be a challenge. Objects of virtually any description. Best to ride to them but hey, if you're stuck any object in the house is doable (knives, forks, playing cards, chesspiece or game, etc.). If you have kids, toys, all kinds. Again, you don't ride to them and it's not necessarily an outside challenge but it's still a possibility as a last resort.

Wafflehouse = doable
Wafflehouse with favorite employee in uniform = most likely fail

Everyday Object or thing (business, vehicle, sign, structure, etc., etc.) = doable
object or thing with another person = fail

XLAR8: We don't have Wafflehouse in Australia. Closest we have is Lovely Pancakes.

Redhen: Any chance you can modify the challenge to drop the employee part and just keep the wafflehouse (maybe pancake joint for those without that particular franchise business) so we can keep the game going?

Alright then, forget the employee part. It only came to mind because one of the cooks asked if he could sit on my bike the other night.
I also second the suggestion of a list of ideas for challenges.

Michael
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: adidasguy on November 24, 2010, 04:27:12 PM
A list? Vote? Now it is getting too political.
Set rules - which have been done. Tell the person if the challenge is getting outside the rules.
Basic rules:
1. Challenge to see who gets it first, not who can get some difficult challenge.
2. Call it a Picture "Race" rather than a "challenge" to make it clearer that the intent is fun and to get on your bike and get that photo.
3. Challenges should be open to interpretation. Waffles? Pancakes OK. Visible sign in a restaurant for waffles or pancakes? OK, but lower on the pecking order.
4. When multiple people post at nearly the same time, the one that meets the challenge closest wins otherwise first wins. So 2 people posting nearly the same time: waffles would win out over pancakes. Both with pancakes? first poster wins.
5. No place close? Allow a photo of it (bottom of pecking order in case of a tie. Example: my father died 20 years ago, a photo would have been the best I could do.)

Use common sense in selecting a challenge. It was that way for a couple weeks and was fun. Then it got all weird and twittery. No post of "My girlfriend might..." or "Maybe tomorrow I can ride to...". No. Winning pictures only and questions regarding what a challenge requires or will allow. Or just post the picture and say "Does this count?" Something hard to do but close could win just for the effort. Let the administrator be the final judge.

Enjoy the challenge. As said before, I'm out of it but felt I should give my opinion about it.

If it gets back to being fun, I'll get back in. I enjoyed it while it lasted.

I can put a bowl next to the wheel, but there won't be anything in it cause I don't eat cereal. And I usually don't eat breakfast, as such. Might eat a banana or two and maybe half a cantaloupe before heading off to work or have a smoothy. So if... let me see... back in a minute...

Okay. This would be my breakfast in a bowl, if I used a bowl...

I was just at the surplus store. I got some new riding gloves and a neck warmer. I should have checked the thread before I left work.

Has anyone got a Biker on their GS yet?

Still the scuba/dive shop. Weather has been so attrocious here last couple weeks - good to ride to work, afternoon rain and storms and weekend rain.

First dry chance I get I'll get it. Maybe tomorrow morning  :dunno_black:

NEXT CHALLENGE: Your bike next to a car you would really like to have, and could actually reasonably afford.

Mine would be a 2nd generation Toyota Supra, I'd give anything to have my '85 back. They are hard to find in good shape, but only go for around $2k.

I saw the police and the "pedos around the school" post - I say that with kindness - and was reminded of a bad run in with the cops I need to share.
So I am a new elementary school teacher and was working at a school last spring. I was running a little late and the school bus full of the students was in front of me just about to turn in. All the kids were waving and yelling hi because they recognized me; at which point the cop flashed his lights and pulled Mr B over for having an expired sticker.
Luckily the cop let me go, but I still get teased by the kids for that.

I mean that price when you are a disabled student is not realistic for me. Even to get the Neon or Caliber I have to wait until Flick is paid for before I can think about it. Money takes on a whole new meaning when you daily have to decide between paying, rent, medication, or food! Be glad you have your health!

Also, Nik did you need a front tire? I'm sure I can help you out!

Nothin' like Mopar Muscle!!

@redhenracing2: my buddy has a '71 in Charcoal, his is a Boss 302 car...very sweet car...

My neighbour across the street has an '09 Viper SRT-10 convertible...yup, that would do fine too...used to know a guy with a Z06 Vette...but he sold that one...

You might get a bit of sticker shock because everything is more expensive on a bike esp. if one were to buy everything commercially! Like if you took your bike in to the shop for the oil change that can run $75 where these days in a car it is like $30. Tires I got pirellies for my sunfire GT $190 and they are warrantied for 35,000 miles. MC tires well they are about 10,000 or less for a change and you can easily drop $200 on tires.

If you want a safe and properly maintained bike it is probably not going to be cheaper than maintaining a car Just sayin!

Still, no Caliber today! I'm off tomorrow I will go hunt one down! LOL. But, that Challenger man it needs to be in Dodge Lime green with the black racing stripes!

I'd say it counts, since I failed.  I went for a ride, forgot to take a camera then forgot what I was doing.  I just decided I had to get rid of the chicken strips.  I didn't, because I'm not a good enough rider, but I did find some fantastic twisties and spent about 5 hours riding.  Pacific drive down to Bulli through the Royal National Park makes me a happy rider.

I'll take your dealership challenge, although I think with my f%&ked old gs500 it's probably a little late to take it back to the dealer.

I'm sure there was a guy with a helmetcam behind me on part of the weekend's ride, but no one's posted video of it yet.  Anyways, it has to be fresh, so I'll see what I can do.  Closest decent set of twisties to me are probably 5 minutes drive, but a half hour walk for the sucker with the camera.

Hmmm... bank has been done so it'd need to be something else.

So as *I* understand it... some interesting place that COuld be used in the 1st scene of a movie - and - all the better if we add a paragraph or two to help Set the Scene, right?

Yup  :thumb: That'd be my bike. Beware... Just hope you realise how many wires are hidden in the original GS headlight bucket lol.

I just replaced a headlight. There must be 50 pounds of crap stuffed into a 3 pound box. Kind of like some women at the gym - a size 14 wearing size 6 spandex. Just because spandex CAN stretch that much doesn't mean it was intended to stretch that much.  :dunno_black:

Talk to me about spandex.

Having a package that needed to be delivered to The Castle, I asked the other couriers what they knew of the joint. Some said it belonged to a Highland Immortal called Connor MacLeod, some said an eccentric millionaire lived there, some said it was one of the original homes built for the Queen as a Holiday Home in another country. Which basically told me, know one had a friggin clue. Which was unusual in the courier business. Cause couriers are generally in the know about anything and everything in a town with their wide roaming about and conversation with all kinds of clients throughout the day.

As I came around a corner I saw an Alpaca grazing. I was certainly taken aback. Like who the heck has an Alpaca as a pet and lives in the city? So dismounting my bike I had to take a photo. But bugger me if a couple of deer came to have a look as well. Okay, I thought, this is now officially wierd.
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_AYmU9ozxu_o/TXwRiGHDHdI/AAAAAAAAAlQ/zUvhsgr-I4k/Challenge-110314-MovieSet2.jpg)

Riding past the joint to get a bit of an idea of the layout before parking it up, I couldn't believe its outlook. Doing a u-turn I pulled up at the gate, walked across the road and took a photo through some metal fence panels. I was at road level and the view was awesome. I can only imagine what it was like from the grounds of the property. I can only imagine what the truth behind the property was.
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_AYmU9ozxu_o/TXwRgvWka0I/AAAAAAAAAlM/l83sXDRaz_8/Challenge-110314-MovieSet3.jpg)

Turning back to the property I saw someone out the front. Oddly, they were covered in head to toe. Long pants, long sleeves, gloves, broadbrim hat and what looked like a Bedouin's shemagh wrapped around their face. And where the eyes were was an overly large pair of sunglasses. I called out to them and they slowly turned to me. I waved the package at them and they nodded to me, turned to face The Castle, nodded and then the gates opened. The person beckoned me to enter and so I did.

Walking up the drive they took shelter under the eave, unwrapped the shemagh and took off their gloves and glasses. The face, while not young, was not old. It had a youthful but experienced appearance. And the amber colored eyes held my gaze without menace. Shaking hands I informed the man who I was and that I had a package for him from Dr Cruor at Livingstone Pathology & Pharmacology. "Ah, my good friend Sanguine" he whispered with a wry smile on his face. Asking me to wait he went inside briefly with the package before reemerging with a small package of his own and two C notes. Pressing the money into my palms with his preternaturally cool hands, he asked if I would take this package back to Dr Cruor right away, Personally. I looked down at my wristwatch and figuring I had time, agreed to his request.

Pleased my agreement he accompanied me to the edge of the shade and stopped. As I turned to ask if he wanted a return receipt of the delivery, the sunlight reflecting off my wrist watch moved across his face. I was stunned every so briefly as it looked like his entire face had become like a skin colored mirror ball as small shards of light reflected everywhere. But no sooner had I seen the effect then it was gone as the light from my watch now cast a small dot of light on the wall behind him. He knew I'd seen something but he acted as if nothing had happened, said he did not need a return receipt cause he trusted me and I started to doubt myself. Had I really seen what I thought I'd seen? Maybe I'd been watching too many Twilight Movies. Either way, I dismissed it, walked back down the drive way, stowed the package in my top box, fired up my beast and rode off down the bitumen street without realizing we would meet again under less formal and less normal circumstances...

Yup. AFTER the challenge.

I've got loads of group pics and vids but such rides only happen on weekends when people are available, and if the weather is sh!t then...

I'm leading a ride next weekend so will also have pics and vid. So if no-one has it by then and peeps can wait, I'll have it.

I knew cold rock icecream had been done cause I got it. I just checked the list and yep, Mary got "icecream shop" previously.

Also "overlooking a city" was also done previously. So please pick something else - check through my compiled list (see my sig file). Hit F3 then type the word you want to search for.

I'm guessing you just pick another challenge.

I don't see what the big problem is with picking something twice though in the interest of keeping the game rolling. Just my 2c.

But I spose every game has rules for a reason.

I tend to agree with you Twisted, especially with new members joining all the time. This thread was one of the first ones I looked through on here after signing up and all I could think of was the cool places around me that I could ride my GS to and get pics. I understand that I am coming into this quite late in the game but, whatever the group decides is fine by me. That being said, I searched the list and museum isn't listed so I would like to see your GS in front of a museum.  :D
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: zirconx on March 31, 2011, 07:06:09 AM
I agree that we should allow repeats. Its way too much work to search through the previous 103 pages and see if your idea has already been done. Even if you use the search, you might be searching for "ice cream" and the original poster typed "icecream" so you won't find it.

Maybe if someone posts an idea that was just done a few pages ago, someone can call it out and they will have to pick another one.

You don't need to search through 104 pages. Click the link in my sig file " GS Picture Game - List of Completed Challenges & Current Challenge http://tinyurl.com/GS500PictureGame " and you'll get a full list of every completed challenge and who completed it. Then, press F3 on your keyboard and a Search Box will appear, type in a word to search the list. So you could search for icecream or part of the word like cream and you'll see if what you have in mind has been done. It's not hard to do a search this way.

@JW You had already got the pic so no point denying it. But you cannot complete your own challenge until 7 days is up.

So next challenge is: your bike at a museum

I think this is the rule that we should go with...if you are playing the game, you will know what the last few pages hold...but I don't want to have to scroll through a few years of completed challenges (even if they are on a nice list...thanks MR) to see what I can use...sorry I didn't go through the challenges, but I just wanted something relatively easy to get some new people playing...

Noone needs to scroll through any list. Hard hard is it to hit the F3 key and type in a word to see if it has been a previous challenge? How lazy do you want to be? Seriously?

Last few pages? How short term is your memory?

And Gregg... you haven't even completed a challenge and you want to change the rules WTF?

If you're going to call someone out for repeating a challenge only recently, then why not after taking 30 seconds to do a word search on a list?

If you're stuck for challenge, pick a street name - any color, name of flower or some other proper noun.

It truly isn't hard to pick something easy that hasn't been done before.

I'm not aiming this at you Mad, just saying in general.

Now go git a pic of your bike at a museum.

Whoa, now... I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes, I just thought reasonable repeats were acceptable. I didn't know there was a set rule. It seemed like everyone was discussing what SHOULD be the rule. I plan on playing, that's why I chimed in.

Honestly though, I think the only reason I liked the idea of repeats, is because I really wanted to do the skyline challenge that was changed to the museum. If I really think about it I'd have to agree with you, Mister. Let's not stifle creativity.

If you're going to call someone out for repeating a challenge only recently, then why not after taking 30 seconds to do a word search on a list?

If you're stuck for challenge, pick a street name - any color, name of flower or some other proper noun.

It truly isn't hard to pick something easy that hasn't been done before.

I'm not aiming this at you Mad, just saying in general.

Now go git a pic of your bike at a museum.

Michael

Thank you...sorry, but I really don't see the need to repeat things. We went through this before, games have rules that aren't supposed to be broken.

We already had a WRX, any chance you (or whomever) can get some other kind of Subaru... just for variety sake? If not, just get the WRX again.

I'd say it fits, but the person who put the challenge is the one who decides if it fits what they meant.

As for Exotic car, what do you mean by that? We've had Classic Car, Muscle Car, Sport Car, Ferarri. What defines a car as Exotic?

My GS and my Sentra.

Next challenge is your bike and a "welcome to state" sign. So any sign that says welcome to one of the US states, not a town or county. For our Canadian, Australian, English or European friends something similar (province etc) will be fine. Have fun!

HA, I nearly ran over a koala today! Walking in the middle of the road. I think I got him on film - I was filming at the time. I'll post a screen cap for no other reason than curiosity. One of the guys I was with stopped riding, turned around, walked back, picked it up (yeah, I know, brave of him cause their feisty little buggers) and took a photo on his phone. I think it fell down the bank and couldn't get back up, so he slowly approached it, picked it up and put it back atop the bank out of harms way. As he says "As you can see I got closer and closer and in the end just picked it up and took it up the bank away from the road and out of harms way. It wasn't aggressive, just a little bit unsure, but very very curious and hardly took its eyes off me from the moment I stopped." How very cool. Here's the sequence...

Nope, that's my Honda 919 / 900 Hornet / CB900. I split up the riding between the two - GS during the week, Hornet on the weekend. This way the mileage is shared and I can keep both bikes longer  :thumb:

We consider them as we do crows - but - they are protected in most of the country.

I know where heaps of them sit in trees. It's an hour away. maybe if I have a chance on the weekend - if course, they'll probably be gone when I go, but we'll see.

A mobile target. That's gonna make this an interesting challenge to get.

About the only way I can think to do wild live ones is to park the bike nearish to them, cover it in bird seed and wait for an hour.

i got my car brand new in 2009 and the second time i drove it to work i got attacked by them almost ripped my bumper off. you know they have been moved on from there 3 times now and they keep coming back, i thinki should just be glad they only go after the cars and not the bikes.

i know they did move the birds when they started the new tunnel extension but knowing them they will be back.

I'm currently unable to ride till I get the tyre replaced. At the moment my bike is the back of the box trailer hitched up to a 4x4 so it can go get a tyre tomorrow, so unless I'm lucky and can find one while driving around like that, I'll miss the timeline.

This could be open to interpretation.

Exactly what is a "cockatoo"?

a) Spanish slang for two piles of doggie doo doo
b) Two guys doing it
c) A tattoo on a certain body part
d) a type of bird
e) how a retarded rooster sounds in the morning
f) a redneck slang for "time to chicken both your guns"

Wish I'd seen this challenge sooner. There's always a few hundred of them gathered out the front of the school across the road of an evening. These were the best shots I could get, the light was fading and they flew off before I could re-shoot them.

If these count, then your bike next to the entrance sign for a state/national forest.

lol dont think this games That technical.

and the ricketts glen state "PARK" I plan to take a ride to is like 75% forest. (not going because of this thread, its just a nice country destination to park and smell the roses)
Hiking paths, camping grounds, cabins, area for trailers and a Huge lake at the top of a VERY steep and Very long mountain road. (road just goes straight up)
Doubt I will wanna push my bike That much as even cars sometimes have trouble going up it.

Only place I know of in this area with Forest Rangers, so its not just some little kiddy park or camping grounds.

Well, will have to pass on this one, I guess. I'm heading to the Tonto National Forest this weekend to camp, but not taking the GS. The state mountain park near my work is considered a city park, instead. So, no dice, I guess.  There are a couple of county and regional mountain parks nearby, but no national or state.

On a side note, has anyone tried to go back and get as many of the past challenges as they can? I think it would be an interesting, but separate, challenge.  :woohoo:

If so, then how about your bike in front of a "red neck" house? Like the Blue Collar Comedy guys joke about: a really trashy place with weeds, crap & whatever. Car seat on the porch and a rusted car in the yard gets bonus points.

I should have rode over to Eckville (even the name is red necky)...I'm sure they have some nice trailers with dead cars on the lawn...the house I was thinking of, the guy moved out and took his crap with him (or the new owners had a scrap company come in)...the house is settled weird (windows aren't square to the frame & siding is slanted), the lawn is over grown...but the real kickers are gone...the old tub in the yard with an old hot water heater in it, the rusted out truck with four flat tires...he must have moved a while ago though, 'cause the "grass" has even hidden where the junk used to be...??  :cry:

It was a dead ringer for what you wanted, but...all gone...well, the house is still there and the grass is too tall (mostly weeds) but the crap is gone...

I'll try harder next time...  :embarrassed:

Maybe I should get it now and then again on the Poker Run. Hmmm...

Yup, I'll do this...

No, Walmart is NOT a curtain business. They are a general retailer.

Curtain businesses normally have the word Curtain in their name.  :thumb:

We Make Curtains, Curtains R Us, Curtain Wonderland, Curtains Curtains Curtains, Dial A Curtain, Curtain Warehouse, Curtain Makers, Custom Curtains, etc.

Doesn't need to be a retailer. Maker is also fine. Remember, Curtain Business.

Check your Yellow Pages, eh?

Curtain Business. Business folks, not necessarily a retail store.

And dude, I just checked the Yellow Pages for your location and got 43 matches. There is more than just one curtain business where you are. You might need to travel a bit to get it - like more than 5 miles - but it is very doable.

Ok well there were a few stores near me. This doesnt have curtain in the name but I think "window coverings" fits the bill. This is actually in my town Mister so even closer then Albany. Sorry for it being sideways.....

If it counts. Next challenge is: Your bike on fire!! Ok not really on fire but with fire or near a fire. Decent size, as in not a lighter.
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: mister on June 01, 2011, 04:01:32 AM
I understand the USA likes the term Window Coverings and Window Treatments, so think it meets the intention of the challenge.

So next up, your bike with a fire.

Nah, just slows down when a challenge is issues that requires the additional input of people. Existing fixed objects of some description are easier than moving objects or objects that need to be created first (like fire). It always comes good but.  :thumb:

I have an idea for a new game. Turn it into a relay.

Basically the rules are this: You take a picture of your bike at a location and then go for a ride somewhere. Once you arrived at whatever destination you've chosen you take another picture of your bike and then upload both to the forums. The next person to come along takes a picture of their bike at the last destination of the previous submitter (try and replicate/out-do the photo somewhat) and then they go on their own ride and take a photo at their new destination. This way the game/challenge would hop and skip all over the country getting everyone involved.

Now since I expect we wouldn't have the numbers to span the continent in a single relay (challenge accepted?) the relays would have to be fairly regional. A north east relay, a south west relay etc etc (city relays maybe?). This would allow multiple groups of people to get involved and bring some people together.

Anyway, just an idea.

I think it is a good idea, but no thread jacking...start a new thread for it and see how it goes...

I went for a ride tonight and thought I could find a flare stack burning, but no luck tonight...only the igniter flame was burning, so I didn't bother taking the pic...

Mad: try posting a pic of your bike with the Sun that you just took. I cannot think of a bigger fire than the Sun. Might be accepted by the challenger.

@Jacob_ns dude, we have enough trouble completing challenges as it is without adding more complicated things. But as Mad said, feel free to start a new thread but don't use this one to try to launch your idea.

This is Dockweiler beach, right beside LAX. Their are probably 15 - 20 bonfires every night.

Next, your bike next to a movie theater, ideally an old school one, like this...

The Admiral Theater is a landmark of the North Admiral neighborhood of West Seattle, famous for showing films that are just about to be released on Video regardless of format.

While the Admiral used to be the spot to go for "tight-wad" Tuesdays, at a mere 99 cents per flick, and a normal price of $2.00 (with tickets good for a double feature) the current cost of a ticket is $5.50.

The Admiral has been sold as of June, 2008 to a new group out of Bainbridge Island, WA. Admiral Entertainment, LLC will be managing the movie house.

The theater was designed by noted cinema architect B. Marcus Priteca.

Go up the curb and park ON the round-about (that way you're not blocking traffic)

I have one right out front. But it is FULL of vegetation.

The one down the road has a tree in the middle of it with a Cross stuck in the ground where some kid drove headon into the tree a couple of years ago. Besides the tree the rest of the ground is bark. A few others I know are doable but are main road round-abouts so they're out. The search continues...

We already had a "with your father on or next to your bike" and it was a FAIL (noone got it). You'll need to pick another challenge cause even if this is completed, it is completing an old challenge only and doesn't earn the completer to issue new challenge.

This is a list of completed challenges http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=45412.msg575727#msg575727 Hit F3 and enter words to search the list to make sure your challenge hasn't been done before.

As Twism said, my sign link (goes to the link I posted) and is a Current Up To Date list. Go check it out to see  :icon_rolleyes:

Wheelie... unlawful in your area (I cannot think of any jurisdiction that allows it) as well as requiring two people to complete the challenge - one on the bike and one to take the photo. *I* don't think asking people to do something unlawful is an appropriate challenge; and experience tells anything that requires two people to complete the challenge is a fail. But hey, that's just my take on it. Your challenge, leave it as a wheelie if you like, just be prepared to offer a new challenge in seven days when noone has gotten it, is all.

Twism, I'll add you as completing the Father challenge so that challenge is no longer a Failed challenge.

Apparently it can be done, particularly if you go down a tooth or two on the front sprocket.

Post by: crzydood17 on June 18, 2011, 12:25:40 PM
you can pull the front tire on a GS pretty easy actually, I did it not even trying once when I was learning... gave it too much gas let the clutch out too fast and the front popped up just a hair and dropped... if i had been leaning back and pulled up on the bars it would of popped up pretty fast... just get a front wheel off the ground for a second while someone rolls video and post a single frame would be the easiest way.

Boat has been done (I won it with Suzi on a ferry boat).

I don't like the idea of a challenge doing something dangerous and unsafe. The idea of the challenge is to see your bike in on near or around something interesting. Requiring you to do squidley things is a bad idea and not the point of the game.

If you really want a wheelie, then allow your bike with the front end hoisted up with just the rear tire on the ground.

PS: Allow running over a speed bump where your front tire goes off the ground for a brief moment. In a way, that is a wheelie. You don't say how long you have to be doing a wheelie.

OR how about your bike wrecked after you attempted your first wheelie? Your broken bones? Your bike on the tow truck? Your ride to the ER?
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: crzydood17 on June 18, 2011, 05:40:49 PM
this isn't a dare, if you don't know how to do a wheelie DONT DO IT! I dont... and yes i said all you have to have is the front wheel off the ground moving... speed bump jump is totally acceptable...
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: Twism86 on June 20, 2011, 09:10:46 AM
FYI for everyone who can do a wheelie (not me, so I wont try). You dont need two people for this challenge. Just set up your camera in the parking lot or where ever. Set it to make a movie and ride by with your wheelie or just pop the front up real quick. Just take a screen shot and your good to go.

Ill do a wheelie on a dirt bike but not the street.

a drag strip is much different than a roundabout? I know many citys with drag strips that don't have roundabouts... Maybe drag strips are just a southern thing but they are all over down south... theres one less than a hour away from my house... hell the texas mile isn't even THAT far from my house... I cant get a picture of my bike on a boat... you cant get one of your bike at a drag strip... sometimes life just ain't fair... why dont you send me a list of your local landmarks or hell just send me some pictures you already took of your bike next to stuff... I will look at the list and pick out a target that you can win at...

Uhm, the only dragstrips I know of in Florida is where you have to go to a race track and they have them in there. But, wouldn't one have to be registered to get on a racetrack?

I was going to do the round about but my heart flipped out this week and my doctor has said no Flick for a bit  :cry:

Post by: crzydood17 on June 23, 2011, 04:09:47 AM
yeh lots of drag strips are on the inside of larger road courses... but Texas at least has many dedicated tracks... no you don't have to be licensed to race on one. Some require full leathers/armor some only require it on 120+mph bikes(in the quarter). To get in to watch the races is like 10-15 bux and racing is generally 25 more. Some tracks depending on where you are you don't even need to be inside to actually snap a picture "at the track" just park on the side of the road and snap a pic. Hope you feel better real soon Mary.

There is a Drag Strip & Raceway maybe 30 minutes from home. I'll get this on the weekend - but it won't be the bike ON a drag strip. It will be at the Complex where the strip is. And that'll have to do, otherwise to get ON the strip would require the place to be open for business - and - for me to register the bike to drag and that requires a whole heap of safety gear etc.

You can just be by the strip or at the place with it in the background. He said you dont need to be on the strip itself.

I could do this today really quick if it wasnt raining all day  :dunno_white: I have a strip 15 mins away. Lebanon Valley.

IGNORE THIS as MISTER did a big BITCCHHH about my new challenge. Bye. I am forever out of this game because of Lord and Master of the Game: Mister.

Next: Its summer, so you or someone on your bike in swim trunks or bathing suit. One condition: RIDE SAFE! So must have on your helmet, boots and gloves.

PS: try to respect others. Please avoid overhanging bellies so we can't see the swim trunks. Wear clothing of the appropriate size.

PS. PS: We did have this, but it failed and is not the same as it wanted flip flips. I believe in always having on proper gear

Addy,

You picked a failed challenge? But add one small twist, must have helmet, gloves and boots on, to make it Different. What? You want to stall the game on purpose or wait until no-one else gets it so You will get it.

Surely you can come up with something else, eh?

Post by: adidasguy on July 06, 2011, 08:14:16 AM
It is different:
1. You must be ON your bike - not next to it
2. You must have on your gear - not flip flops

It may be somewhat similar, but not the same.  Go down the list - there are lots of similar challenges.

Hey - its summer. How hard can it be to throw on your swim suit and sit on your bike with your helmet, gloves and boots? Its SUMMER - remember ( at least for MOST of the world. So you're in YOUR winter. Boo hoo! as I have been told in this game: that's life.)

You never complained when I did "non-domestic animal" and there was a prior challenge of "animal". Then there was animal shelter and business with animal in the name. Similar? Different?  There was "fire truck or ambulance" and "fire truck with firemen? Same - with a slight twist. Right? There are LOTS of similar challenges. "Similar" is NOT the same as "the same".

"In front of a church" was done TWICE!

How similar or different are these challenges?
 - next to a mail/post box
 - bank/group/cluster of mailboxes
 - drive-up mailbox with a "funnel"

And Hey - you' don't play fair. Go down the list: see how many times YOU did YOUR OWN challenge! You do NOT do your own challenge - someone else should do it.

Look at this snippet:
 .....
 dive shop or w/ scuba gear -- adidasguy
 pot hole -- mister
 skid mark -- mister
 tinsel -- mister
 locksmith -- Paulcet
 .....

You said "wait until no-one else gets it so You will get it." - Hey buddy, I NEVER EVER do my own challenge. That is not playing fair with the others. If that was the proper way to play the game, I'd fill up this thing with 100 challenges and photos in a day.

I mentioned the failed challenge so those looking up prior challenges would know I already checked it and have a different challenge.

If you want to get your panties all twisted up then do it in your underwear - oh, right, I did that one - because someone posted that challenge after everyone got bent out of shape about war memorials. Then YOU go do a dead end sign and start a new challenge. I knew I never should have gotten back into this game 'cause some of you take things just too seriously for a game.

Question, and maybe I should look a hundred pages back for the answer but, I noticed a couple of posts where the challenge was completed not on a gs.  So it's okay to complete challenges on other bikes?  If so, mannn I've been missing out all this time cause my GS is in project state.  Someone clear me up so I can play too, if I can use my other bike.

Post by: mister on July 06, 2011, 04:05:05 PM
Um... yeah I got my own EASY challenges cause noone else had gotten them AFTER the allotted time even after prompting. I was even telling people how to get the tinsel one and there was just excuses WHY it couldn't be gotten. Come one now, don't leave out such important info when trying to prove a point against me.  :nono:  ;)

Swim suit with flipflops - FAIL
Swim suit with riding gear

Leave it as essentially the same challenge so someone can get them both in one hit - just swap the gear for flipflops and they'll do two in one. This way we have one less fail on the list.  :thumb: Besides, we don't all have abs like Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen to show off.  ;)

I know you'll be willing to get it, cause you already did the underwear one like you said. Underwear / swimwear, not much difference to me, which is why I mentioned it.  :dunno_black:

I didn't get a dead end sign. And it wasn't my challenge. You've lost me there. But the game has rules. All games do. Foootball, baseballl, basketball. It's Cooperative Competition - we agree to compete by staying within the rules. If a war memorial has been done it has been done, don't blame me for that, sheesh, and don't blame me for the only one to ever point out duplicates either. Swimsuit was a fail before, changing flipflops for gear doesn't mean it'll suddenly not be a fail. I just didn't see how it was different enough a challenge.

As far as I'm concerned, you got the deadend and posted the swimsuit with helmet, gloves and boots and unless you change it, it stands.

QuoteMISTER starts going off on me and accusing me...

@Addy. Unfortunately, much is lost in textual communication. Tone, syllable intonation, facial expression while expressing, etc. It was NOT my intention to upset you in any way. And what I wrote was not done so with any malice intended. A lack of any emoticons to represent such makes it worse. I apologize.

If this counts, then next challenge would be in front of a TOOL TRUCK.  Any of the BIG names would work, Snap On, Cornwell, Matco, Mac, or an independent would be okay too!  Extra bragging rights if you can get the dealer to wave.  haha  Thanks for letting me play even though my GS is still in project state!

FYI challenges where you need to "happen upon/ come across" the object always tend to fail. When people can go find something they know will be there they are much more likely to succeed.

In those instances, it generally defaults Back to the previous challenge. In this case, a Tool Truck. Get a pic of that and you can issue the next challenge.

Everyone cool with that instead of waiting for Edchen to issue a new challenge seeing as Edchen has not logged in since July 21?

If this is good, how about your bike in front of the biggest mobile tool box you can find.  Yes I know tools again, but just about every guy has a box.  (Adidas will probably knock this one out easy.)  Has to be a mobile box with wheels on it, doesn't matter if it is a small one or 16 feet long.

You made me go to the bank drive-up on my bike so I had an excuse to go home and take the picture  :woohoo:
Any excuse to ride.
Wasn't going to drive into the cave until all finished - you made me do it!  :mad:
With that in mind -

Your bike (bonus if you on it) next to a bank drive-up ATM or drive up teller or drive up teller thing with the vacuum tubes.
NOT a walk up!
Extra bonus if that drive up has braille on it  :cookoo:

Yea, Las Vegas has drive through weddings. I think there is a drive through funeral home somewhere.
Believe it when I say there is a drive through bank ATM that has braille! There is truth when you say "That driver must be blind"

I'm out of town (read away from my bike) for this week, but I could get this easy...I think all of the drive thru ATM's in Canada have braile (I'm hoping it is for the bulk buying discount for keypads :icon_eek: )...I just went thru one last night with wifey...but didn't know about this challenge...

No wonder we are becoming the two fattest nations... :cookoo: Life's just getting too easy!!

Thanks!
I can't wait until this weekend. I hope to finally epoxy the floor - in Suzuki blue! I've uncovered parts of the garage floor that haven't seen light for over 20 years. Still a couple weeks until all finished - or is it ever really finished?
More pix will come next week in the bike cave thread.

That was the lucky free one I found on CL. If I hadn't jumped on it at midnight when I saw it, I know someone else would have snatched it up. The owner must have been partying Friday night. He texted me back at 1:30 AM to come pick it up in the morning. That's the motor going into your frame I bought and we will be building a GS from the ground up for centuryghost's wife in the new bike cave. I'm really excited about this project. I'll learn everything about a GS from centuryghost and scottychop while doing something good for a friend.  :woohoo:

Now..... let's get the game back on track. Someone go to a drive up and get that picture. Surely someone needs to go get some cash  :icon_lol:

(Play find the GS parts! Unpainted rear seat cowling on back shelf. To the right of it stainless chain guard and Werks shock. Red headlight cowling center top. Junior's black belly pan on shelf (he has a red one now) with 3 front fenders (2 black, one yellow). What else can you spot? The pile of early 80's disco LP's? and????)

Dude. This is NOT a place to just post pictures of your bike. It's for a game we play where the object is to get a pic of your bike next to a nominated object. The Current thing to snap a pic with is a Bank's Drive Thru ATM.

Sorry the tanks are so far away.  There were other options, but everybody was getting off work.  I didn't want to get in the way trying to use one of the other tanks.  If anybody is wondering these are at the museum at Camp Shelby, MS.

For the next challenge let's keep the same theme.  Picture of your GS with your favorite personally owned weapon.

Whoa there FJCharlie... that was REAL quick for an "on a ferry" challenge.

Is this a photo you already had taken or one you took only after reading the challenge, quickly riding to the ferry, getting on it, taking the photo then riding home and posting the image?

Rules are: Image has to be taken AFTER challenge is issued and cannot be a pre-existing image.

I think the ferry challenge is ok. The challenge that adidasguy completed was "on a boat".  Technically different. I believe in the past we have allowed subsequent challenges to be more specific versions of prior ones.

However,  overly specific challenges slow the game quite a bit.

Yes, I double and triple searched for ferry but I don't see it on Mister's listing.  I'm going to stick with 'by or on a ferry' if everybody's ok with that.

Or if I'm really froggy ride over to my Alma Mater and have my NJROTC instructor Chief Brigham hop on my bike. I'd love to see that being he is a Harley guy.

Google Earth WITH your bike in it? GE would need to be Real Time, which it isn't.

Back to the challenge... your favorite curve.

Mine is 30-45 minutes away but has nowhere to pull up to take a snap. So secondary curve would need to suffice - if only this darn rain would now stop.

Hmmm...

With this challenge in mind yesterday, I went through Galston Gorge, Cattai Ridge, Wiseman's Ferry, up through Mangrove Mountain, up to Broke, across to Mibrodale, and then back down the Putty.  I honestly cannot nominate one corner amongst it.  I was also having too much fun to stop and take pictures, cos when you do come across a really awesome corner in that part of the world it's usually followed by another one.

That doesn't really help this challenge, but I did have a fun day.

Nice first time win. My Coot Tha is a blast to ride around. Got to watch for blueheelers but, otherwise, good ol' fun.

Now, use the list Mad linked to, it's in my Sig line. It links to a post which lists ALL previous challenges. When there, press F3 on your keyboard to bring up a Word Search box, then type in the word you are looking for. In this case, tennis Court has been done, was completed by Mr Deux. So, pick another challenge please.

Damn thought this would be easy. Clearly not. Ok next challange your bike with a locomotive (front part of a train), it can be any kind, extra points for a steam or mechanical drive one etc, but a diesel or electric one is good enough. And it can be coming through the shot in the background. Can you tell I love trains lol?

Steam Engine....hmmm.... now where did the Gold Coast Council take the one they had in the park at Southport?

Anyone in Victoria close to Puff'n Billy?

I wonder if the Oxley Model Shop has on in their window?

I know there is one at the train museum at Woodford - and it works and you can ride on it for like $2

Hmmm....

That one from southport is at the qpsr box flat, but it's all stripped down, there's one at north ippy workshops, there is one at rosewood, bit u can have the miniture ones that you can ride on too, or any other engine that uses steam to power it.

When I was a child, the seat I sat in belonged to a Holden Station Wagon - bench seat. I don't think the GS could manage that. Other times, I would scrunch up in a box and be tucked in the boot. So a box would do then, right? Other times I just sat on a pillow - so that would also suffice, correct? lastly, I cannot put my mum's lap on my bike and tie it down, that just wouldn't be right.  :icon_mrgreen:

Sheep, and a Lama guarding the flock.

No, I got a "Harley sized girl" stopping by so maybe she will pose on Suzi or Trey.
Actually she has a Hinda 1300 because she said she wanted a bike that doesn't break down all the time.

OK, back to "plus size lady" but let's allow a girl in a bikini (as long as it is not gross) so you have a choice of sizes. Heck - if you got the balls, a GUY in a 2 piece bikini!  :o

Um, initial fat Girl challenge was with your bike Extra point for ON your bike. Your challenge simple said, change fat girl for bikini girl. So this actually meets the spec - a pic of a bikini girl and my bike in one. But, sure, I'll wait.... tick tock tick tock, only four hours until my clock turns from Sunday to Monday  :icon_mrgreen:

Extra points if you do this (http://bestplanking.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/motorcycle-dangerous-planking.jpg)

P.S.
Don't hurt yourself
QuoteNews just in of another planking death this time occuring in NSW, Australia on 18/05/11. Apparently planking on the boot of a moving car. People we have to be careful here. We do not want anyone to die planking. For the sake of your family and friends, please plank safely.
The 20yo is in an induced coma in hospital with his distraught father by his side. The father of Simon Hallam has urged everyone not to be dangerous and to seek attention in safer ways. While the planking craze is getting bigger it is up to all of us to plank responsibly. DO not be a sheep and follow the crowd. Plank safely... for the sake of your family.......http://www.bestplank.com

OK, keeping with the Halloween theme and easy things to keep our game moving...

With a WITCH - good witch or bad witch. Bonus if witch is in a tree or on a utility pole. Can even be a person in a costume, a doll, a yard decoration. As long as it is a witch in the picture with your bike - you get to pick the next challenge. (No, your mother in law doesn't count - even though she may be an evil witch.)

The point of the game is not to see if someone can maybe, if they are lucky, complete the challenge - but - to see who can do it First. Easy means everyone can play and then it becomes about who can do it first, not can anyone even do it.

Right - it is more of a race, not a difficulty exercise.

Your bike with a stuffy animal panda? Do you have stuffy animals or know of a kid with some? Probably. So how fast can you get it? That's a good challenge - a race that everyone can participate in.

Your bike with a real panda? Who would ever get that? NOT a good challenge.

Nice gourd! :whisper:

This is what we call a Pumpkin in Australia. We don't call things Gourds, Pumpkins and Summer/Winter/XXXX Squash. They are all pumpkins to us, just different varieties. The only thing we generally call a squash is that small yellow thing the size of a plum/peach - Sunburst Squash/pattypan squash. To us a zucchini is a zucchini not a courgette or Italian marrow squash.

A Cantaloupe is known as a Rockmelon down here. Bell Peppers are know to us as Capsicum. What you know as Aubergine we call Eggplant. And what you call a Cherimoya we call a Custard Apple. Such are the idioms of our respective English.

I'd think the English in England might disagree...

Although....

Seeing as English is, itself, a bastardized language and the Americans bastardize it better than anyone, you could say that the USA is leading the evolution of the language as it originally formed. And who knows, maybe we will all end up speaking Spanglish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanglish) or Cityspeak (http://bladerunner.wikia.com/wiki/Cityspeak)

Now go get the musical instrument store...

Ah, Seattle. If I'm not mistaken didn't that win the "most liveable city" award one year? I do know WA is one state I def want to come see one day. If I lived in the US it'd either be WA or the New England area - Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire - but I think WA would be the safe option  ;)

Sorry, didn't know there was a list.

New Challenge:

Your bike at an embassy.

This is gonna be real tough cause a country usually only has one Embassy in the Capital City and then smaller Consulates throughout and only in Major Cities. And I have found a lot of those consulates are on the higher levels of a multi story building. I don't know, maybe things are differing in the USA  :dunno_black:

We'll see... Hmmm....

Good find gsnewb. Welcome to the site and game.

Welcome aboard ghost. Pics are easy. If you don't have a photobucket, flickr or picasa (google pic hosting) account, use either tinypic or imgur to upload pics - neither requires registration.

Now to find a house owned by a italian or greek :-)

I went to get the one I'd shown and the bastards don't have it up this year.

Earlier today I found another one but they didn't have their lights on yet. So, go home, wait an hour or so then go back out. Oh, better check here first. Oh look, Kms254 has now got it. Well done.

Salvos don't hang out front of stores over here. But they are what we do the Toy Run in aid of...

I'm the helmet to the left of the blue/white flag just above the green sleeve.

Mister that is one he#l of a bike rally. Wow, looks like a lot of fun :cheers:

That was 2009's event. 750 bikes. Only down side was... the route was 20km long and it took a tad over an hour to do it. That's how slow the bike cops were riding. They were crawling and there were LOTS of complaints. Bikes were pulling up to cool down, some even left the ride cause of it.

The 2010 even had clouds that looked like rain and only 350 bikes turned up (only). The pace was much better, near 40km so the distance only took half that time and it was more enjoyable. And the kids that come out to see and wave at Santa and the bikes. Some people set up lawn chairs on the footpath to watch us go by. Brings a smile to your face seeing the joy of the kids.  :thumb:

Ok... here is a couple of panoramas of the toy run - start and end. This is a ToyRun for the Salvation Army.

The pics of my bike (Honda 919 with top box) show a tent in the background - this is the salvo food tent, then a photo of the tent looking back to the bikes, as they were some three hours before the ride departure time. I was told the 4 abreast photo would be taken and when I get a copy I'll post that up...

Yeah, I know it is not a salvo guy dressed as Santa standing in front of a store ringing a bell. But it is a Salvo Fund Raiser.

So...

Newb, I've spent a fair amount of time down in Statesboro over the years, but it's been awhile... What a great town!  Is the Fast'N'Easy still in business?  :cheers:

Heh, I went to school there for a couple of years.  Now I live a few miles from Georgia Southern, posted by GSNewb.  And my wife has her undergrad from SAU, and a Master's from GSU.  Funny coincidence, to me anyway.

Yes Fast and sleazy is still going strong. They have 3 locations now. I actually live right behind the one that drops down off of Lanier Drive. There are at least 3 other GSs that I see on campus.

Down here it is still a little popular but it seems to only be the bombadores that cruise the main street with their "fully sik" super cheap exhaust cannon's and incorrectly installed aftermarket tail lights.

These cars are hardly fast 'n' furious so I haven't got a picture.

One of the oldest structures in Seattle. Log house built around 1905. Originally the carriage house and servants quarters for the main house which is now a block away. Today it serves as a museum.

The best I could get of the main, 2 story log house. Suffered a fire a few years ago. Impossible to restore without replacing many of the timbers. Unfortunately, the Historical Committee is staffed by a bunch of old bitties who won't allow replacement logs: must be original. But the original are burned and rotten. So it will probably fall down because of that.

The plant was up and running until it caught fire in the 1920s. It is said that 23 employees died in the fire due to the fact that the exits had been chained shut by the plant owner. Shortly after this, the owner committed suicide by a gunshot to the head. The four story building is a hair-raising site just to look at. It is noted by those who have entered the building that shadows have been spotted running to the exits. On the far right window of the third floor, a woman with a look of terror on her face has been reportedly seen by those who have attended. Not only this, but on nights of a full moon a gunshot can be heard followed by a flood of screams.

Next Challenge: Your GS next to something that is Haunted, with the story behind it.

I've been trying find as many reviews as I could, and talk to people on here who have used those.  That's what I was looking to get (the knock-offs).  Glad you like them.  Looks like another purchase I'll be making shortly.

Yeah there not big you can't make out detail of cars such as police. And you have to glance at them not look down at them, otherwise you might get a nasty surprise

Here is the transmission tower for the local radio station here in Statesboro. Sorry for the poor photo. It is foggy out and it was taken on an Iphone.

Next Challenge: Your GS with the MOON in the background. The one that revolves around our planet. Not the one you sit on.
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: madjak30 on January 23, 2012, 03:37:04 PM
Good clarification on that one...I don't think we needed to see the "Hangin' Moon" in the back ground  :icon_eek:

Next: With a snow sled. NOT skiis or snow board as that's been done. A sled - old style, butt sled, saucer sled. If in the snow with you in it - SCORE BONUS CREDIT!

Post by: mister on January 27, 2012, 01:41:20 AM
Apart from it not snowing in the southern hemisphere, down in Aust we call them toboggans. And they are usually made of plastic. Maybe a snow ski shop might have one in their window or something. If only this rain would stop.
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: adidasguy on January 27, 2012, 01:43:01 AM
That would work - look in your garage! Basement! Attic!
SNOW IS NOT REQUIRED!
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: gramlord on January 27, 2012, 01:52:46 AM
When you live in a place that never snows it doesn't matter where you look, you ain't gunna find any snow-related stuff.
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: madjak30 on January 27, 2012, 12:42:22 PM
REALLY??  You're gonna whine about not needing to have SNOW TOYS??  I remember the ski one from last year...I won that one...

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-a_kw0UzFbDE/TZNdhrIErQI/AAAAAAAAA30/RLLer1sbfK4/s600/IMAG00032.JPG)

since I only have to open the garage door, I could even win this one with a broken bike and get the bonus points  :thumb:...but I can't ride for two more months, and I will get the YOU'RE NUTZ!! stare from everyone who sees me...except maybe other riders, but most will think it even if they are really hoping riding season is just aroung the corner...

Quit your whining since you don't have a "riding season"... :flipoff:

If it is still light out when I get home, I will take the pic and see what you think...

My mate kept his off road wheels n tyres when he did his motard conversion if he felt the need to bush bash.

Is this one yellow enough, Aussie?  It's a bit darker in real life. 

If so....

Next challenge... a pic with a mountain in the background.

Anyone can play. Take a picture of the current challenge with your bike in the picture. Then post the next challenge. Should be something lots of people can get. The object of the game is to be the first to get the picture - not to get a picture that's nearly impossible to get (like your bike next to the Concord airplane)

Search the list for previous challenges and if you get the picture, pick something different

Ryan, it didn't.  You need to upload your pic to an online hosting site first.  And traditionally, only pics taken after the challenge is posted actually count, I believe.  And Welcome Aboard  :cheers:
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: adidasguy on February 02, 2012, 08:47:10 PM
Correct: after the challenge is posted , you need to go take the picture. Old pictures don't count. That's the fun: who can go take that picture first and post it!

It said a mountain. No mention whether it had to be real or man-made.  :icon_rolleyes:
I suppose a mountain of dirty laundry could qualify? A mountain of poo in the kitty litter box?  :flipoff:

How very strange. Didn't come up in a word search when I checked it. Got a lot of 11s but none from the list. Damn odd if you ask me.

I thought it was all too familiar. HA!

Anyway. The Adjusted challenge then...

Your bike at a tattoo parlor

Yes addy. I have since found it. Back in Nov last year.

Think I'll slowly go back through the list adding links to the winning challenges too.

No go get a tatt parlor - y'all might need to do this early in the morning, cause they stay open late and the big bad tattoo wearing people might think something odd about you taking their photo and chase you down.

Good one Addy.

Mary already got firemen - and fire station in a sep challenge.

We had a police officer one which was a fail (also needed to be getting a ticket). I got this though http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=45412.msg573015#msg573015

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm3.static.flickr.com%2F2547%2F4062414331_2500eee1f6_o.jpg&hash=42367378a8177d491c8d15e0463411eea0befbbf)

Granted, it's NOT a person. So being a police officer would be the only option left  :dunno_black:

Post by: adidasguy on February 11, 2012, 07:48:17 PM
No ticket required. I saw that was a prior challenge and failed.
Mainly thought about   :police: police, marshal, highway patrol, sheriff, other law enforcement officer. Just threw in fireman just because. We can eliminate fireman if you want.
I can select something different if you wish. I think this challenge is different from anything that has been completed.

OK? After all, it is a game. Mary: if you get an EMT first - I'll let you win.

Problem with the bikie-gang clubhouses is... they have CCTV cameras monitoring the outside. Even if you pull up up the street they are watching you take a photo of their digs. You obviously aren't a cop. So might be a rival gang member on a lowly bike. They'll suddenly feel the urge to check you out. Only thing that will save you is a bazillion photos of your bike completing other challenges and showing them a link to this thread on your smart phone. You'll lose your phone and camera as a matter of course and a lesson NOT to do it again, but at least you'll still have your bike.

Oh, and Cods, my rule of thumb for posting challenges is, only post challenges I can get myself if noone else does.

Bikie gang... are we talking 1%ers only or.... cause I know where the local Ulysses Club House is, if that will count...

Ok update,
I have since asked a member of said gang if it was ok to take a photo and he advised me that it would not be a good idea to take any photos of said building/clubhouse with bike in front of club as bike would need a rebuild if there was anything left of it. So as I now cannot take my own photo I will relinquish challenge for a new one. sorry I FAIL
Photo with Ronald McDonald in the photo. Not the shop but actually the figure of Ronald. You will find these as they usually have on at each store. You do not need to park your bike inside so you may have him showing through window.
Hows that?

Ok 2ND Update,
Another friend has told me he can organize said photo of said clubhouse and even include members with full patches through the week if I want and include my bike in one piece in the photo. other said member that asked me to not do so did not know me and thought I was maybe a reporter.

So I will change the photo anyway but maybe still get this one to keep my pride intact.

What's a "combi"?

You're not going to give us time to do the challenge? Give at least a week. There's a biker bar near me where lots of choppers and harleys hang out on a nice day. Maybe not a "club" but a hang-out for them. I've been waiting for a nice day. Usually Thursday evening was "their" day at the bar. Poor weather this past Thursday so they weren't there.

other challeng was a biker clubhouse and not a hangout.
They are different things. There are many biker hangouts here but only a handful of clubhouses
Clubhouses also have there name on the door/wall

Combis are vans commonly identified with hippies and surfers.

Yeah bike gangs originated in the states, formed by returned ww2 servicemen who could adjust back to life after the war. Basically there was a giant party/rally and some of them got arrested. Then there mates got together and a riot followed to break em out. After the dust settled tge people organizing said it was the 1% minority that caused the trouble and hence the term. And from it the hells angels was formed. And down here those vw vans are badged as combi vans down here. Cause of the 'combinations' you can have.

Remember, HAS to be something like in the photo. Not ANY old van from any manufacturer, not a Modern van from VW, an old retro Combi Van as used by hippies in the 70s and stuff.  :thumb:

That was how the Hell's Angels got started. The AMA was doing a rally and the Hell's Angels crashed the rally along with the town of Hollister during the next few days. The movie The Wild One with Marlon Brandon was taken after it. Then a photo appeared in Life with a druken motorcyclist propped up on his bike with beer bottles all around. The AMA trying to control image said that 99% of motorcyclist were law abiding citizens and it was this 1% that caused all the trouble. Soon, it became a badge of honor to be a 1% er.

I don't know about you guys but I'm proud to be a 99%! Now where's the combi bug?

Otherwise, I would have just taken a picture in the bike cave (https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1206.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fbb442%2Fadidasguy%2FVideos%2Fbonk.gif&hash=0e811b8287aeb48bcc5079d05a4dde2ec9ec142e)

Would a Bergman count?

There have been repeats - like Suzuki Dealer, and many others.

i was under the impression i wasnt allowed to post a repeat but since that is apparently ok sticking with the original challenge i will just declare you the winner and move on lol
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: adidasguy on March 02, 2012, 06:36:13 PM
OK. Here's a different one:

A utility pole replacement. They're replacing a lot of old wood utility poles with new wood ones around here.
This could include:
1. Where they've stuck a new pole in the ground next to an old one where they're getting ready to move things to the new pole. That's where you see 2 poles right next to each other: a new one and the old one. Usually they are wood poles.
2. A new pole laying on the ground next to the old one, that they have not yet stuck in the ground
3. The old pole laying on the ground next to the new one, that hasn't been hauled away yet.

hmm, might be time to roll the bike into the front yard.  I've got 2 poles in the corner of my yard.  Only had 1 when I moved here.  Then they added a second pole, moved 1/2 the stuff from the first pole to the second, but kept the other 1/2 of the stuff on the original pole.  So now I have 2 poles right next to each other permanently :cookoo:

So go do it, Slack!

@riot, no we don't normally accept duplicates if they have been pointed out. The dupes that have gotten through have not been spotted before being completed. Just keep it in mind for next time. Addy put his pic up Hours after it was pointed out it had already been done, but you accepted it so we now move on...

@Addy not updating the list in two days is hardly a justification for repeating an old challenge from a year or more ago. And neither is that Some have slipped through in the past. And certainly not after putting up the pic hours after it was pointed out it had been done. You even spent time to go through the threads to find my pic so you KNOW it was already done. Sheesh!  :icon_rolleyes: BUT we hate to see wasted effort here  :icon_mrgreen:  :thumb:

For those who wonder... 6kph is a mere 3.75mph. It's Brisk walking speed. I think my 919 rolls along at idle faster than that.

1. Saw challenge of speed limit sign
2. Took picture
3. Posted picture
4. Read all the broo-ha-ha about a repeat
5. Knew there have been repeats (I noticed that before and searching is just typing a word into the browser, not reading all challenges)
6. Posted about the repeat
7. I was then told I won
8. Posted new challenge
9. Mister has a tizzy over my posting
10. Bought the TS-185 because the challenge was your GS next to a Suzuki that wasn't yours. I took picture then decided yesterday I wanted that bike.
11. Went riding Junior since it is a sunny day
12. Bought cat food at Target
13. Got home
14. Went to bathroom
15. Watched motorcycles crash on "Worlds Dumbest"
16. Made this post
..... now going riding again

There was a tizzy, but I believe we decided on the new/replacement utility pole thing. Surprised no one has it yet - even those who said it was right near  their house.

As soon as this arrives I can get my bike out of the garage again and take a picture.  The hill on my property is too steep to push my bike back up to the garage if I just coasted it down to the poles.

No signs there to prove it's a Joe's. 

We have a Jumpin Joe's Fun Houses too, but no sign there either.  I'm thinking he may have one on his truck.. I'll have to see if I can find it tomorrow.

course they can post the pic up then pic a new challenge. Click on the link in Misters signature hit F3 then search through the completed list so you don't pick something thats already been done. Welcome to the game and enjoy! Just as a helpful hint pick something that can be done internationally if your going to be really challenging.

Yeah anyone can get in, only rule is that you take the pic after the challenge is posted, and when you post a winning pic, post a new challenge that hasn't been done before. 
If only my dad's house had a big sign that said Joe's.

Post by: adidasguy on March 19, 2012, 06:13:51 PM
Keep in mind the purpose of the game:

Who can get the picture FIRST!

it is NOT "Who can get this nearly impossible shot"

Make the challenge something most can do. Sure, things are often regional or climate specific. Like your GS near the beach. That is OK, even though somewhat regional specific. Lots of people can get that. Could even be a river or lake beach or water park beach, as an example.

You do not want the impossible: Your GS stranded on a sand bar or rock at high tide.

another example: Your GS at a non-Suzuki dealer. Not too hard.
Your GS at a Bimoto Dealer: Too specific and too rare to find one.

Enjoy! :cheers:

Sorry for the lack of clarity. I did mean a Gun shop or a outdoor sports store. I know some countries may not allow guns so I figured the outdoor sports store should allow every one to play. I believe the picture with a Gun has been done in a  previous challenge.

I have to agree, a trailer park and a camp ground (caravan park) are 2 different things.  I think the challenge should go back to a trailer park  :dunno_black:

A few double wide trailers for sale in Statesboro, Ga.

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww5.picturepush.com%2Fphoto%2Fa%2F7922678%2F640%2F7922678.jpg&hash=4dda87d8f3114756cd10754d1c64861b7a7e67f5) (http://picturepush.com/public/7922678)

This is an RV park. Outside of the states it is known as a caravan park.

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww5.picturepush.com%2Fphoto%2Fa%2F7922818%2F640%2F7922818.jpg&hash=00ca8a565bc201370fd364712809d504556a3aa7) (http://picturepush.com/public/7922818)

A trailer park has prefabricated homes that are put on site with the intentions of not moving the home again. An RV / Caravan Park is setup for the purpose of travel and recreation, not a permanent homestead.

Next Challenge:  Your bike at an antique store. Bonus if you have an antique sitting on the bike.
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: mister on March 31, 2012, 01:08:54 PM
Down here, the prefabbed buildings that sit and are not really intended to be moved are Also in caravan parks  - along with Permanent caravans. Most the prefabbed Only places around here are over 50s places but they are not called anything special other than XXX Community or some such. Hard to find a weekend/week only empty site in a caravan park here cause they are all filled by fixed-in-place prefabs or permanent caravans.

Thanks for clearing it up, Newb.  :thumb:

To my knowledge, we don't have a town icon exactly. Although Virginia Tech has tons of the Hokie birds with different designs all over Blacksburg. They look similar to this:

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm8.staticflickr.com%2F7058%2F6980134057_abb937fc84.jpg&hash=17d3218252ffe0b0cedb91da8937c57163b53a64)

a few other designs: 1 (http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af301/shana84/Hokie%20Birds%20Statues/FreedomHokie2.jpg), 2 (http://spec.lib.vt.edu/imagebase/09LH/screen/06Hokie_Stone_front.jpg), 3 (http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4030/4713100507_a1d9307a53_z.jpg)

She's more a national mascot Adidasguy.  I'd still go there, but my tastes are best left to more special interest forums

Moving along, here's my attempt at a town icon.  You can have it with or without the bridge.

If that counts the next challenge shall be either

A.  The girl from Adidasguy's post riding pillion on your bike (bonus points for bikini)

B.  Your bike next to a flood sign.   The ones with the the markings on them that show the depth, often found at causeways.

PS: I see you ave the taller Euro clip-ons. That answers the question of whether they were sold down under. Seems everywhere except the USA.

Are those stock adjustable forks or what?

Lol whatya want me to do?  I don't come from a small town that's famous for it's giant frying pan or whatever.  I was born and raised in inner city Sydney.  I do a lot of jobs in that funny looking building.

Edit- As far as I know the forks are stock, I can't remember seeing a GS without the preload adjuster at the top.  There's no dampening adjustment in either direction though, I just switched to 15W oil which helps a bit.

Nice 185 suzuki btw.  I think that was my dad's first bike, although he put sports bike rubber on it and used it for urban hooliganism long before anyone coined the term motard.

I have dump truck will post soon on ferry boat home.

OK - here it is. Suzi, Zute72's GS and Yamaha 200. We latched onto a new friend who is now an associate member of the West Seattle GS500 Club ("associate" because he doesn't have a GS500) on our day riding around Vashon Island. Saw the dirt bike go by. Yelled to Zute "Bike! Follow it!" After a while he stopped to take pictures from a beach spot and we stopped, made friends. Rode as 3 for the rest of the day and took him to the Bike Cave after the ferry ride back to West Seattle.

Bonus points? 3 bikes, 3 dump trucks and a dog.  :woohoo:

MORE BONUS POINTS! The bikes and trucks match in color and are lined up in the same order: Yellow, White and Blue!  :cheers:

So this is a tripple win by adidasguy, zute72 and our associate member - call him CG-yamaha for now. His bike is called "Sparky"
(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1206.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fbb442%2Fadidasguy%2FAssorted%2Fdump_trucks.jpg&hash=617522eac12a3f3381ac375ce927184d4888f7c4)

Next:
Anything Coast Guard. Can be a boat, helicopter, sign, light house, car with coast guard parking sticker, a coast guard person. ANYTHING coast guard (no Army, Navy, marines, Airforce, etc.  We do this to honor our new GS500 Club associate member who is a proud member of the US Coast Guard.

In Aust we don't have a Federal Coast Guard as such. We have... Volunteer Coast Guard (VCG) organisations and Volunteer Sea Rescue (VSR) organisations. In some states they have merged in others they have not. Where the VCG are the VSR are not and visa versa. For instance, Manly in Brisbane has the VCG while Raby Bay in Brisbane has the VSR. The Manly group takes care of the northern part of Moreton bay while the Raby Bay group takes care of the Southern part of Moreton Bay until it extends towards the Gold Coast where the Gold Coast VCG takes over.

The actual patrolling with powers is done with Water Police and Australian navy - both of which frown upon people taking photos of their establishments.

Headlight is an original NOS 1973 headlight so I think that still qualifies as original. At $99 it better qualify!
The original tires were not available so we found some that were really close to the originals.

As far as I see it, it is bird poop and it is on your bike. It fulfills the requirements. No different than grabbing a coconut and putting it on your bike it is?

So.... go grab a coconut and put it on your bike, snap the pic and we can then move on to something we hopefully need to ride to, to get  :thumb:

We do allow other bikes. While this is a GS500 game, we do not discriminate if a member uses one of their other bikes.
We know codpice is full of shiiiit - but in this case it came from a bird and we do accept it.  :flipoff: (I think his poo is bigger and doesn't stink.)

:2guns: We must member that all Ausies are decent ants of criminals shipped there from England long ago. We do not want to piss of the descendants of criminals - they just might come here and knock over your GS.   :nono:

Actually, it would only be Georgians that would be the criminals. But, they were typically sent down there from other states. So, rednecks are the criminals LOL!

The CURRENT item is a coconut. Get a pic of your bike with a coconut and then you can pick a new challenge. Refer to my sig file to see a list of completed challenges.

What's a "Basha"? Is that a motorcycle?
You did that too fast. Its night time.  :flipoff:
Did that crawl up there or did you put your bird there and let it poop it out?  :flipoff:
My coconut jumped up there all on its own.  :bs:

Seriously, that was a coconut. They call it a young coconut in the store. All the husk has not been removed. In other words, they charge more for a coconut where they were too lazy (like Bender) to take the whole husk off.

Oh, dang. Now I have to go feed Nibbler.

What does that mean? "Home environment"

Car yard? doable by just about everyone.

Gone bush? Another mistaken "see if you can even get itat all" challenge instead of a "race to see who can get it first" challenge.

Please define "home environment".

That would have to be the most blatant "USA Only" challenge we've had here. At least if it was "school that has your state in it's name" we can still compete globally. But not this... UNITED STATES. Boo hiss.  :2guns: Someone get this so we can get back to a more globally achievable challenge...

A challenge is a FAIL if it is not completed within seven days.

At which point the person putting the challenge can then complete it themselves.

This is why I always suggest to only put up a challenge if You would be able to get it yourself. That's not to suggest only a challenge you could get. But one you would be Able to get Just In Case no-one else can.

No "car on blocks" but we did have "rusty old car"

I feel like car on blocks is pretty attainable.

On the note of failed challenges, I was gifted a pink Snuggy from an ex. I use it to cover up my backseat when I cart my sister's dog around. I would be willing to take one for the team in order to complete that challenge. Just have to find it...

Well, sure. If you got a snuggy, complete the challenge. You won't get anything extra for it except your name next to the thing, but tis way we have Closure  :thumb:  ;)

So next challenge is: a pic of your bike with a car on blocks

I'm sure you all have a neighbour you wouldn't mind doing this to.  The one who whinges about you warming up your bike first thing in the morning's a good start.  After you've taken their wheels make sure you're the one to knock on their door an tell them.  Then make your views known about "the neighbourhood going down hill" and "kids these days" known to everyone.

Then take a picture for the internet.

I really thought I would find a car on blocks with no wheels here in rural Georgia...  I took a 30-mile ride through the countryside and found none! 

But I took a 30-mile ride through the countryside!  Clear skies, clean roads, windy and cold.  Totally worth it!   :woohoo: :D

Rain's supposed to hold off tonight, and I'm waiting on the post man to bring my next batch of parts.

I'll give it a shot tonight! Can definitely get the one on blocks, but that still has wheels..

Edit: Well after an hour and a half ride i come up with nada! i figured i'd get one with no wheels sitting on the ground atleast. Hell i don't think i spotted one flat tire!! I saw some haggard POS's too haha

Could i pull a technicality? I can get a car with wheels on blocks.. the current challenge is "car on blocks" but he mentioned it being wheel-less early :dunno_white:

Next to a car with no wheels. As in on cinder blocks or something.

So actually the initial requirement was without wheels, with cinderblocks being the example/condition in which you usually see a car missing one or more wheels. But, seeing as no one has posted anything, and  the week is about to expire, I say go for it!

I didn't expect it to be hard to find, especially when we have people driving 30 miles through rural georgia. Glad you got a good ride out of it though Paulcet!

-Hope that clarifies things....

Post by: mister on April 24, 2012, 08:59:40 PM
Clarifies. Now I wonder ANYWHERE in Aust that does this? Most likely Alternate Fuel that is not e85, gasoline/diesel/heating oil/kerosene is LPG. But LPG might be covered in your ETC. Otherwise I think besides that we cold Maybe park near a small runway and photo an avgas pump otherwise I think most peeps are SOOL on this.

New Challenge:  Your bike next to a ricer (i.e.  a cheap junky car with oversized wing, or 30" shift light, or unpainted body kit, or  several different rims, etc.) the more ridiculous the better! :)

Check the complete lists in my sig. I'm pretty sure ricer your car had been done - so was under bridge but as you already got it...

Post by: Paulcet on May 02, 2012, 03:44:29 AM
ON a bridge was done, but not UNDER a bridge.
"Fast and furious" car with aftermarket wing, lights, wheels, etc. was a fail.

I did see the " fast and furious" challenge, but I think ricer is different enough. I'm just looking for a car with one rediculus upgrade. Idk, i'm new at this.  :dunno_black: what do u guys think? what's the rule on fails anyway?

What if you chopped off the start of the list so we are back to one list? No doubt so many people have come and gone since it started that we could get away with removing the first 50 challenges and let all us newer members go at it again.

Post by: steezin_and_wheezin on May 02, 2012, 01:32:03 PM
no stress mister, was just pokin fun :cheers:

i kind of like the nostalgia feeling of having all previous challenges. the TT drz riding game doesn't even have a list which makes it easy, but a whole lot less interesting.

I've always said winning a round of this game is only 1/2 taking a photo the other 1/2 is thinking of a new challenge.

Alright, does this count?  A mid 80's Honda Accord 4-door with rust holes on the rear passenger side quarter panels.....with one of those fancy "Coke-can" exhaust systems.....

If it meets the criteria (which I think it does), the next challenge is:

Your GS in a picture with.........a large area (like a side of a building, rail car, wall, bridge abundment, etc.) that has a lot (like most of the wall covered) of illegal graffiti on it.  Bonus points if you take the pic in a fancy-artsy-type of way (I.E. black and white, HDR, etc.....)

Bonus point if people can be seen climbing in the picture.

One moment while I check the challenges......

OK. A WINERY or a WINE SHOP.
Must clearly be a wine specialty shop not just a store that also sells wine. if "Wine Tasting" sign is visible - bonus!
You could be next to a road side "Wine Tasting Today" sandwich board along the road. We'll know there is a winery that is open.

Wine store near me.  They do wine tasting every Friday, but the sign is not up until the afternoon of the tasting.

University of Hertfordshire

In 1951, the de Havilland company gave land in Hatfield adjoining the A1 to Hertfordshire County Council for educational use in perpetuity. In 1952 the Council used this to build and operate Hatfield Technical College. The college rapidly became a centre of excellence in mechanical and aeronautical engineering, training engineers for Hatfield's then dominant aerospace industry. In 1992, the institution received University status. - Wikipedia

Below, Mr Geoffrey Dehaviland himself.. Well, a statue at least:

You have 24hrs, from the time stamp on this post.

Old challenge still stands. However, the new challenge is:

Your bike with a bunch of bananas. Obvious bonus point if your in a gorilla suit.

If Term doesn't respond soon and we all agree, I'll set the new challenge. I did take my photo of the hammock within the 24 of window, but didn't post it as the bunch of naners had been posted first. I didn't want to confuse the situation.

If Term doesn't respond soon and we all agree, I'll set the new challenge. I did take my photo of the hammock within the 24 of window, but didn't post it as the bunch of naners had been posted first. I didn't want to confuse the situation.

I'll wait to hear back before posting any new challenges. What do y'all think??

... yeah I think my 'banana hammock' comment was innocently misunderstood. Which was probably a good thing for some folks I guess... but I agree if nothing is heard back from Term.

Just google cars for sale in your area that meet the challenge requirements.  Set up a meeting to 'look at the car' or ask where it is at for viewing... Show up to snap a photo with the bike next to it or in the background or whatever, then peace out!
To much work you say? I thought it was a picture challenge - what happened to the creativity found all over this forum?!

Post by: steezin_and_wheezin on May 31, 2012, 12:17:03 PM
Setting hard challenges that required any kind of leg work(other then getting of the bike and taking the photo) makes the game stall out.. Like it is now...

If you set a challenge that everyone in any hemisphere or country has a great chance of finding one/it. Makes for a more interesting game. Turns into more of a races to get it first. Faster pace and less of a buzz kill.
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: Paulcet on May 31, 2012, 07:08:00 PM
Well, I think Steezin should post the next challenge.  In the past, when a challenge went over a week and the challenge maker wasn't around to post a new one, it was incumbent on the prior winner to post a new challenge.  In this case, the prior challenge was a hammock and Steezin satisfied it, albeit somewhat late.  So, Steezin please post a new challenge.

As for an MR2 or Supra.... I looked up production numbers for the somewhat rare MR2 vs. the ubiquitous Corolla.  For all years of MR2 in USA and Canada:  about 157,000 (http://mr2wiki.com/AllModels/WorldwideProductionNumbers)  For just the years 2000-2011 of Corolla in USA alone: 3.6 million! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Corolla#Sales_numbers)

So, in the interest of keeping the game moving, I suggest choosing more common vehicles!

In Aust all post office boxes which Receive mail are visible from the street or parking area. I figured it was the same for the USA. If they are indoors, then park in front of the glass door and take a snap  :thumb:

I was told a "PO BOX" where you RECEIVE your mail. Your picture is a mail box where you deposit your mail which,  I was told was not what the challenge was.

WTF?

I was told this was not the challenge: "Or do you mean the box you put mail into to start it on its way?"

The mail deposit box is a piece of cake around here.

Oh, well.

I'm with Aussie on this one, I know lots of people that have kids, but none are "babies" that I could borrow for this.

Again, including other people or too much work for a challenge kills the game. The point of the game is to post a topic and get the picture FIRST!

I might have to take up the girly challenge of the Fish & Chips place.

I think it is the SW Motec rear carrier and a strap on bag
Oh, ASV brake lever and ASV clutch lever (on a Honda F4 perch with custom clutch cable by MotionPro)
((Other bikes have LSL levers which are 100% compatible on the clutch side - the only $125 clutch lever that is GS500 compatible))

AND a carbon fiber rear hugger
AND the old style mud flap added to the front fender.
AND all 4 indicators switched to LED and the gauges have LEDs.
AND front running light is an LED

Nice! There's a heap of things on that list I need to get for my bike...just got the frame sliders (because I still feel a bit n00bish on this bike and I know I'll eventually drop it!). Want a double bubble zero gravity screen, luggage rack, I like the look of the exhaust protector, and I've been meaning to hop onto ebay to get some rim tape...that's probably all I'll do though, maybe aftermarket exhaust eventually...

Good move keeping the engine stock though  :thumb: I've been told by many people that the more you do to it, the more it will go wrong...I just want my bike to look pretty haha.

Forgot to mention there is a carbon fiber ("fibre" for the non US people? like "tyres"?) rear wheel hugger. Helps keep the suspension clean.

Number 1 on your list should be the R&G sliders and the muffler protectors. That will protect your bike and probably prevent the turn signals from punching through the fairing.

Now, will someone please put gas in your bike and snap a picture?

I only had to ride ~240 miles for this one!  (Trip report to come later.)

I haven't had time to fully digest the master list yet, so please tell me if this has already been done:

    Take a picture of your bike with the wheels straddling a deep-ish "void"
    of some kind.  Not just a pair of 2x4s, but something like a serious crack
    in the ground, or maybe a manhole (with cover removed)?  The idea is to
    do some problem solving as part of the challenge.  (For example, you should
    remove the actual manhole cover BEFORE the bike is moved into position.)

Just in case this one is too hard, I'll be trying to absorb the master list ... or to come up with something else and check it against the list.
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: AussieChick on June 10, 2012, 01:20:14 AM
 :o Way too much effort required for this one...in finding an appropriate "void" that I will be able to get my bike out of later. Looks like I'll be waiting for the next challenge...and hoping the weather clears up in the meantime!  :thumb:

Sure that would work... I was just trying to keep it different from roller coasters (which had already been done), and carnivals have the smaller rides like a tilt-a-whirl, etc..  and this is the time of year when they are popping up everywhere.  So definately any small amusement ride would work for this challenge so long as it isn't a roller coaster.  :thumb:

Your bike next to any other bike with the same or close to the same paint/color scheme as yours.

Extra cudos if you get the previous challenge:

This one was mine on the previous page.  At close to the end of the day, this road looks like night.  It's also an amazing road.  Alot of nice corners.  Right here in Factoryville, pretty close to the little rocky glen.

There's a better canopy road semi near me about 20 miles away, but I can't remember how to get there.  last time I was there was like 3 years ago.  If I took the time to find it, Formor would have won. lol.

I would say so. Kind of our equivalent to a moose/deer. Not that they're that big in real life but the Americans probably think so haha

Kangaroo will do! :icon_mrgreen:

I was trying to make the challenge less "this specific animal" and therefore easier to get. I've seen signs for buffalo, moose, deer, caribou, and bears so I figured any 'large-animal' would do.

It's the challenge of parking next to one and snapping the picture!

Haha somehow I don't think that counts as  "still functioning for power production or pumping water"

Yet another challenge I won't be able to do since I don't think I've ever seen a windmill in real life :( or at a golf course even....

We did have a "dead end" road sign that adidasguy got, but the signs  you are after are different and often temporary or for severely damaged roads.

CAUTION: Venting Below

These signs are 'temporary'... unless you live in a town where they add an additional tax to gas to allocate more funds for the roads... only to find these signs still up on the same 9 roads after 5 years of the additional taxation!

Vent Over.

A puppy its not a valid security device, imo, as it cannot be taken with you wherever you go. It's no different than the bike being in a garage. A dish lock on the other hand IS a valid device. I reckon That is the winner Not a puppy. But the person who coasted the challenge of security device decides.

Post by: djslowmo on June 21, 2012, 08:58:02 PM
Yeah, I don't really mind either way. 
It is a cute puppy, so I think that would simply make it a perk of snagging VerdonD952's sharp looking bike.  I also feel an unfair biased because I want to do the next challenge and I have NO idea where or how I'm going to get my bike in and back out of a pool (non kiddy sized).

How about I defer to mister as it looks like he's the guy in the know.

Post by: mister on June 22, 2012, 02:20:10 AM
Well, three peeps ok-ed the puppy so it stands.

A note to all new players.... the idea of the game is not to see who, if anyone at all, can get the challenge you put up - but - who can get it First. Making it hard (or improbable) stalls the game. Making it easy keeps the game going.

ALSO, if you could, only put challenges that You could get if no-one else is able. If you cannot get the challenge yourself, don't bother asking others to get it. What happens is we end up with a game that is dead for a week and then a new challenge needs to be made.

Please just keep these in mind when coming up with your challenges.

Nice job on the picture, and even better challenge! Those are the types of challenges we need to do, because it keeps the game moving and makes it fun for anyone to get. :thumb:

Does anyone have the list that was kicking around here of possible challenges for future? There were a couple of ideas like this one on that list and along with the lists of completed challenges I think they should be kept together so if someone is trying to come up with a new challenge and is stuck they have some ideas.

Maybe we could sticky this and also stick the lists of challenges at the beginning of the thread to keep it a little organized and easy to find for members? Just a suggestion.

Far out - pool pic. But I gotta ask... how deep is the shallow end? Even the most shallow pools down our way are a good 2 feet deep which would make getting a bike in/out bloody difficult.

Formori: For a complete list of Challenges, see my sig line. It is in two lists due to the forum software not allowing posts longer than X number of characters. Also, te problem with list of Future Ideas is, people could go get them Now and then Wait for when someone goes with one on the list and then post the pic - which defeats the spirit of the game - to only get a pic After is has been posted as a challenge.

He says it's a zero entry pool. Basically a long ramp that mimics a beach (i.e., the water gets deeper the further you walk in).

Yeah it's a 0,0 entry and goes to full diving depth. You can see in the middle of the pic, there is a bump out, and then the degree angle decreases rapidly to the diving depth. I think he said it was 20ft at the diving end.

Thanks for all the kudos.

My bike is silver. Would you accept "pearl white"?

Let's see if we can get someone with a real match.  Maybe after a few days I'll accept white to move the game along.  Or...you could just repaint your bike pearl white.

Not my GS but my XT250, I think it's ok to post with your other bikes.

Ok, you need to search with Part words too - such as Plane or Air

Areoplane has been done. I got it On The Ground and another challenge of one in Mid Flight (jet powered aircraft) and we had another with a Propeller Powered Plane.

So yeah, been done. Please pick another challenge.

To add a little challenge: NOT shoes (sandals OK but not the pool slides), NO SOCKS,  NO GYM/SPORTS SHORTS and NO T-SHIRTS or TANK TOPS.
Well? Blankets, towels, key chains, coats, scarves, sports equipment, miniature adidas shows are OK as they're a collectable, books, watches, cologne, soap, board shorts and dress shorts  are OK and just about everything else.

It's not very clear, but it is an alfa romeo.  The enthusiasts can back me up I'm sure. (right?  ;))  I've seen this car in that driveway on and off for a couple years now and figured i'd cruise by to see if it was there.  Lo and behold...

Also funny fact, the other picture i have in here (of the main street diner) was also taken on this street (bank st.) within a hundred yards or so of this picture.

The shot was without flash. Hand held. Using the just released Sony DSC-RX100. 20 mega pixel and a host of features, though it lacks a real manual that says more than "Change setting: This changes the setting".

This should be a cinch.  Cincinnati is on a body of water and has a perfect skyline.  It is the city of 7 hills and is also on a river.  So, cross the river, snap a picture, and 12 miles home.

Radford's small, but still a 'city'. I'll give everyone a few more nights then i'll pull out the t2i and snatch a photo

How about things we have to actually ride to get?

Like he said. No fun just grabbing a newspaper (or printing a picture) and putting it on your bike for that picture.
Now if you said some past or present official on a road sign - that's different. I'd have to ride to find a Washington State highway sign with George on it.

I agree the picture game should be where you have to go ride to find something to take a picture of your bike with/next-to-/by/near/overlooking/etc.

If you think doing a challenge might get you in trouble, what with Homeland Security / terrorism fears / etc., then leave someone else to get it, or let it go entirely until it becomes a Failed challenge and a new one is issued. No challenge is worth getting in trouble with the authorities.

The roads around here crack down the sides and they fill them in with tar.  Hard as shaZam to get off your paint if you run through it before it drys. 

If this counts, next challenge, your bike with a 48" pipe wrench.  Figured some crane operator might have one lying around.  If noone can get a 48"  a 36" is okay too.

Damn - I was on Vashon Island today and didn't get to post until now. This where one of the twisties ends and joins back to the main road.

FYI: Today I bought a 10 ride ferry ticket. That makes it $6 round trip as opposed to $9.15. So I guess I'll be riding Vashon a lot the next 90 days before it expires. So anytime anyone wants to go to the island.......

Heck, when you got a ride like that just a few minutes away - why not? Nice ferry ride.... lots of fun riding.... good food.... wineries....  nice ferry ride back to West Seattle. How could a ride be any better?

Challenges should be something that requires riding.

Vinny, has to be 48" or 36". .A fourteen doesn't cut it. Nor does a picture of one - we ousted pics of items on bike when I tried to put a pic of a girl with a tattoo on my bike instead of a real one. A plastic one is fine, a paper mache one is fine. Any real object is fine. But not an image - unless it said image/photo/drawing/etc.

Does this sign meet the challenge?

If so the new challenge is in front of a McDonald's, if not proceed.

Edit, next challenge is a No U turn sign.

Given the openness of the challenge "water sign" I'd say that works! And it's interesting to boot!

Funny, I live on an island and we don't have any of those signs around me?  :cookoo:

We have signs that just have arrows without being crossed through, and some with the words "U Turn Permitted" as well as the arrow glyph. Whatever works in your jurisdiction that means a u-turn can be performed is fine.  :thumb:

Pull off on the side of the road, Opposite the sign, stand on footpath and take photo of bike, traffic lanes and then the sign in the background. Pretty safe that way. :thumb:

Don't mean to kill the fun, but pulling over at the side of the road inherently increases the risk of a collision, especially if you're focused on getting a picture of a road sign and not watching traffic (who knows what they're looking at). Again, not being a killjoy, but urging all the Twinners to watch their backs when stopped in traffic.

Having said this, I know of a dead-traffic road and might be able to snap this one.

Agreed.  Life is full of risks.  Riding a motorcycle in general is risky.  So is driving a car, eating a T-Bone Steak, and leaving the house.

Of course, not leaving the house increases the risk of pale skin, not enough exercise, and your mental well-being.

Higgins,

Assuming you have an image on your computer, you need a place online to host the image. You can sign up for an account with photobucket, picasa, flickr, imageshack - or - use the "no account necessary" hosts such as tinypic and imgur.

Let's assume you have chosen imgur. You go there and see an option that says Computer or Web. Chose where the image is and a box will pop up into which you Select your image. Select Upload and you'll end up with a URL like this http://i.imgur.com/KKpRw.jpg

Now, above the icons in the post box you'll see letter options (Bold, Italics, Underline). Beneath the B is a small monalisa type image. This one (https://gstwins.com/gsboard/Themes/default/images/bbc/img.gif)

Click that and you'll get a set of IMG tags. Between those tags you Paste the image URL from earlier. And when you do, from my example, you get this...

Hope this helps.

Um... No "shots on the go".

Ride to the target, stop, get off bike if safe to do so, take photo. This was decided long ago.

We already had windy road sign.

I would say a still from video is quite lame.  But I couldn't find that decision.  I found a couple of suggestions to use video and grab a frame, but no one was against it at that time.  Adidasguy had a challenge expressly forbidding video - had to be a self-timer or friend would take the shot.  Considering that we are now at one week, I suggest that we let Adidasguy's entry should stand.

Cods, you would see awnings daily on your rides. How about YOU get a snap?

You wouldn't allow a try in footy just cause noone has scored in a while would you? Same deal here, no shots on the go, no video caps. These things are everywhere, a ride along any street should see them. Just laziness noone has got it is all.

OMG Addy.... it would seem you have an animosity of me to go to such length to try to locate things from over 2 years ago! Jesus christ man, that is quite an obsession you have for me :cookoo: I mean, really dude, I've "corrected" plenty of others in this thread which you conveniently forget about or ignore - you're not that special that I would spend my precious energy giving a stuff Specifically about you enough to pick on you. Get over yourself man.

Windy road sign that was already done matched the picture of the sign you put up. Calling it a "fun road" sign doesn't change what it is. Don't blame me for seeing they were the same and mentioning it.  Sheesh.  :icon_rolleyes:

Sorry for not recalling every single double challenge either. Sorry also for not being on here 24 hours a day to make sure people who offer up double challenges are corrected within 5 minutes of doing so. After all, I am human and humans are fallible. I do try to "catch" all double challenges but alas, some obviously slip through my fingers. Now that I have mentioned it here and now perhaps you'd like to bookmark this post so you can fetch it up again in another two years if I make another error and let something slip  :icon_rolleyes: :icon_rolleyes:

I recall, a discussion about pics taken "on the go" (as in, from on board the bike while the bike is being controlled by the rider) after something similar to yours was offered up at a set of traffic lights in traffic and it being decided as a "no no". Sorry for not bothering to look through 180+ pages since 2008 for the exact wording to satisfy you. Surely you can even see this is a Picture game not a "ride around video taping everything then going through the video to find a match then get a screen cap game".

But most puzzling of all is, I don't know what you're doing on here searching through years of posts trying to prove yourself right / me wrong /whatever if your 91 year old mother is going downhill. Go spend time with her man. THAT is real life, this is all just meaningless internet bullshit.

We don't just randomly take shots of any old thing. We try to get a shot of our bike's with whatever challenge is issued by the person who got the previous challenge. In this case steezin_and_wheezin got the Chicken Wings challenge so earned the right to issue the next challenge which is

"your bike under an arch"

Whomever gets That challenge can then issue a new challenge.

There is flexibility in the wording. as long as it tells you parking is for patients only, how it is worded won't matter.

Drive around some small doctors offices with small parking outside. Bet you'll find that sign really fast.

Next:  Your bike next to abandoned railroad tracks or an abandoned railroad right-of-way.  BE CAREFUL.  Bridges and trestles can be VERY dangerous.
Here is the location of Pretoria Station.  The actual railroad bed is just beyond the building you see here.  It was part of the S&S (Savannah & Statesboro) Railroad.

The railroad bed here has been converted to a "Greenway" walking/biking path.

The location on a map from 1899 (Pretoria Station is where the black line and red dashed line cross):

I am finally back on the road after replacing the head as well as all the top end gaskets on my gs. Does this count? It's a DC police department Harley road glide (1400cc) with a sidecar, more utilitarian than cruiser. If it passes the test, I will edit the post and add a challenge.

Damn you mister! You, maybe even unknowingly, set me up! haha

We have a small dance studio here in town, the Radford Dance Center. Just a few blocks down from me, so I thought, "Cool, I'll go snatch this quick on the shredped." Throw my work boots on and toss my nice camera in my pack to get a good low light shot.. Pull up in front to find a group currently dancing, a group of 10 years old and under! Here i am with my green brain bucket, beard hanging out, work boots on, riding a moped, trying to take a picture of a studio full of little girls.. Definitely didn't get the cam out, pulled out the cellie snapped a quick one with strategically planned photo angle and got the hell out of there haha

TLDR; shaZam! was sketchy

AC, if you're doing the phone thing, as soon as you've taken the photo, log on here to this thread and post a message something like "Got it, just getting it off my phone." And you should have more success not getting gazumped. Peeps will wait, even if they already have it, cause you posted success first. But take much too long and they will post their pic up.

Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: adidasguy on January 30, 2013, 04:32:26 PM
Really looking for some reference in WORDS to cats. Now if you went up to the store and there were signs for cat food, cat adoptions, or something with CAT, KITTY or similar wording that would be OK. Or something named specifically for cats, as in "Purrfect Pals" or "Kitty Harbor"

Please go for WORDS. Try to save us from torture and avoid anything to do with "Hello Kitty".

Try again for one more day and if no one comes through, I'lllet go as a win.

Interesting: Ryot has an original old OEM fairing! Not may of those in the USA. Is it stamped Five Stars or TCP?

Really looking for some reference in WORDS to cats. Now if you went up to the store and there were signs for cat food, cat adoptions, or something with CAT, KITTY or similar wording that would be OK. Or something named specifically for cats, as in "Purrfect Pals" or "Kitty Harbor"

Please go for WORDS. Try to save us from torture and avoid anything to do with "Hello Kitty".

Try again for one more day and if no one comes through, I'lllet go as a win.

Interesting: Ryot has an original old OEM fairing! Not may of those in the USA. Is it stamped Five Stars or TCP?

That's actually my CBR, I sold the GS a year or two ago. It no longer looks like that though, it's naked and blue as of last week.

If you zoom in, over my cowling, there is an adoption poster with a picture of a cat. So there are two Cats in the picture. I didn't see the word "cat" or Kitty anywhere. I hate cats.

I've got one 500 yards from work. Alas, incessant rain when I go to that depot and no rain when I work elsewhere, has prevented this getting done. If it's clear tomorrow I will probably be working elsewhere. No need to go to the depot and do nothing when it is clear, as clear means I can be elsewhere doing something. Rain means, do nothing and that means depot time, but rain means no riding to work.

How about your bike with a Chevy Astrovan?

WTF, we failed on pipe yard? Its not like you said in front of the space shuttle or something. I blew it and pulled my plastics for painting when I had a few days off in a row. Then I got drunk, now I have half sanded plastics and no bike to ride.. This one should be easy for us USA guys

1. Use a camera and take a photo of the phone scree?
2. Plug phone into computer?
3. Email it to you on your computer?

lol.... i was tempted... very close... found the issue though ... we were having intrusion attempts on the laptop last month and i set the security system to snatch and bin the data ... not sure what.. i just told the puter to seek and destroy.. but i forgot to check the little box that says inform me of each event... so it was happily doing its job, just not telling me about it.... and according to the phone it was 'in progress' but thats kinda optimistic... all good now though... i have reset the popup alert thingy and allowed the phone...

oh and i have a cable ... yep .. sure do.... around here .... somewhere?!

so.... hope this one is good enough... i wasnt allowed in the yard itself... or in the actual clear gateway .. the big security man and his german shepard said NO!!! .. but i was allowed near the fence... (this place does a lot of gov't gasline preparation so they 'worry about people tampering with pipes' )

ok... and i searched the thread with search .. it showed no matches soooo..

your bike with a cheerleader .. not a mascot... a real live cheerleader .. either beside the bike or on the bike... NO NUDE SHOTS!! (sigh) ...

these wont be as hard to find as you might think... dont have to be famous cheerleaders... can be your local football/basketball/etc team ... but you will probably have to be polite and ask eh!! ..

some form of team colours and a winning smile!! .. pom poms optional...

and dont be whinging at me!! .. while i havent been in this game before... a lot of the challenges are very generalised... thats cool... i just want to be a bit more specific  :D

Here's your 6 degrees of separation.

I live with a guy--->> who has a girlfriend ---> who lives with one of the cheerleaders at our college.

BUT it's raining for the foreseeable future. While that doesn't dissuade my riding, it most definitely dissuades me from asking the cheerleader to come outside and photo up with me.

Ahhhh come on people!! ... Not a very hard core bunch of bikers we have here!! ...

No basketball games? ... No football games? ... No friends? ...

It's not like they have to pose on with one leg draped seductively over the tank and a "come on" expression on their face ... (30 sec pause to reflect on that) ..

You could even go watch a local game.... Have fun and cheer loudly when they doing the squad thing during the game ... Then get all shy and have your bike parked near the exit and be "just taking a photo of my bike" as they walk past... Or say "hey, hiya! .. That was some great cheering today! , you gals sure boosted the team spirit!" ... I'm in a "tag competition" where we have to get photos ... Bike with cop, bike with fireman, bike with 'science lab geek' , bike with a grandma  and bike with cheerleader ... It's this weeks challenge .. Sometimes we do landmarks and stuff .. Could I get like 1 photo with you just standing next to the bike? Even a couple of you? .. Then I only gotta find a traffic cop  .. Please? .. It'd help me win! " ... I bet Pandy could get this done before you lads!!

After a week you do it yourself or post a new challenge. Those are Mister's rules.



+1, don't post a challenge that you cannot complete yourself. Complete the challenge yourself, or pick a new one and lets move on.........

ok ok ... let me check .. well .. i was intending to park the bike near the local stadium at the next basketball game .. but they dont play local till 15th march .. and i doubt you lot will want till wait till then ... so i'll change it to something else.. ummmm .. (goes to check list) ... dang!! 619 challenges.. sheesh ... ok with a real size historic type or antique vehicle WITH wooden spoke wheels!! (i dont care if its a car, a wagon/dray/cart/gun carriage, bike?, or some form of agricultural machinery .. but all wooden spoke wheels actually present on their axles please ... and guess what .. you wont even have to ask them nicely!!!.. unless its the owners cos its on private property and too far for easy viewing!!!

in the interests of this particular challenge though i will do my best to still get a pic and post it afterwards in the spirit of getting it done! .. but only as a random photo on the page, not as a later claim to another win.

No where around here that I can even imagine.

Maybe the rule should be --  "If you didn't show it, we won't do it!"

Show us YOU can do it and maybe I can ride 200 miles to find one. However Ausies are a little behind the times so I would guess your GS has wooden spoke wheels!  :flipoff:

OK. Let me think of a new challenge.....

A Pond - if it has Koi in it then DOUBLE BONUS!
Big, small, decorative, whatever. Not a lake. Not a river. Not a stream. Not a tributary. Not a brook. Not a puddle.

Nice adidas! Its crazy how little way's there are around my area as well.

My neighbor has a small koi pond. He had the big expensive 12"+ koi in it, but lost most(maybe all after getting this photo) after the big wind storm we had back in June.

That's a Givi A750 I picked it up on ebay for ~50 bucks. Pulled it apart, painted it when I did the repair/paint work on everything else. It has a little notch cut out on one side from the master cylinder on the bike it was on before, but it's tough to notice. Pics in the link in my signature.

Umm, OK then, your GS and someone in drag in the picture. Can be a boy in drag as a girl or a girl in drag as a boy (or a sheep if you are in NZ), bonus points if they are a "professional"   :D

If this proves too difficult maybe I will change it to your GS at the drags, but it must be on the strip itself..

Coworker has a suzuki kizashi, but the garelli is down at the moment for her engine transplant. Got most everything mounted last night, just need to modify the exhaust hanger a bit, then fresh fluids and start attempt #1.

Next Challenge: Your bike with a public slipperydip (possible known as a slippery slide in the USA). That is, a slide, similar to the one pictured, as seen in a park playground. (NOT one in your own back yard)

OK what is the ruling on this? I waited 12 hours for Alex to post before I did. I also had to wait at the park for the family that was there to leave so I did not look like a creeper..

Winner. 12 hours is plenty of time, I think. On ADVRider forums, there is no time factor: first pic posted is the winner. It's called getting "Bruced".

Ok then..
NEXT CHALLENGE:
Your GS next to a El Camino/Ranchero/Ute type vehicle (Car with a bed like a truck) like this.

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gt350lady.com%2Fimages%2F67_RANCHERO_05.jpg&hash=a03b5ed8cc842545f9a5501ce198376b98a58c7f)

No home made jobs, has to be from the factory like that, no Subaru Brats or anything similar to those. Bonus points if it is muscle car era, extra bonus points if it is one of those Caddy funeral flower car thingies from the 50s-60s..

Just to clarify...

In Aust we have what we call a Ute. They come with a style side or tray back. This is the style side...

Post by: mister on April 06, 2013, 05:28:37 PM
Cal,

That's why I asked for clarification. In Aust we call them both UTEs

The style side....

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.drive.com.au%2Fdrive_images%2FEditorial%2F2007%2F08%2F24%2F24HeSyas_m_m.jpg&hash=009e47e281f4c594f92bb1eb747f51c12eae90b8)

The tray back....

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.whereilive.com.au%2Fimages%2Fuploads%2F2010%2F06%2F17%2F737be45058074e8a27c8d0adfc2cca7a_resized.jpg&hash=36ac9dda4d172b95af5f6b3fa6be5af75b2ebfa8)

Both come from the factory like that. The trayback can be bought without the tray, but almost noone does. The sides of the tray can be removed making it a "flatbed" - as Cods has done. BUT we still call it a ute, down here.

To an Aussie a UTE means the style side as well as the trayback with or without sides.

Ahh, its pretty obvious the tray back is a pickup front end to me. I should have stated it more clearly I guess, I actually included Ute for you guys as I am sure Rancheros and El Caminos are a bit rare. I should have said something made by GM (Holden) or Ford that shares the same front end sheet metal as a car model..
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: mister on April 06, 2013, 05:44:15 PM
This is why it is confusing for us, Cal

You've seen the style side I showed?

Well, here is the same XR6 ute but with a tray?

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ftopdek.com.au%2Fsysimg%2F14761_pg_size.jpeg&hash=aafe176e1785334f7a24190a3a82c4c36e74a503)

That shares the same front end as a car model. So would That be acceptable even though it has a tray and not a style side? The importance is in the front end matching a sedan's front end, right?

OK so you don't have pickups.. I thought it was obvious what I meant, next time I will use my Aussie to 'merican translator.
As far as the rules I thought they were this...
RULES :

Name a place or thing to take a picture with your GS500. First person to go out, take, and post the picture picks the next one. Must be a picture taken AFTER the challenge is picked. Try not to make it impossible. NO photochops. If nobody else gets the picture within 1 week the person that picked it can choose a new one.  New challenge must be picked when picture of the last one was posted.


Now about the "Streets Icecream" challenge, being that it is only available in Oz and NZ right can people from the rest of the world just print that out on paper and stick it to a window and take a pick real quick before the shop owner comes out with a broom?  :icon_confused:

According to Mister (who started this thread) The bike can be ANY bike you own and not just the GS500. This has been covered many times before.
I was not aware that streets was only southern hemisphere but thats a moot point as my photo was bullsheet according to you so move on please

Streets is an international brand for Unilever but uses different names in different countries. The logo is the same though:

I know there is a US brand with this logo (Good Humor or Walls?).

The old company logo is:

If I was Cods, I'd accept either of those logos regardless of the name with it.

Just for clarification. Around 3 years ago I think, it was decided that ANY BIKE not just GS500s could play the game. So former GS owners could still participate.

Cal,

Just for clarification. Around 3 years ago I think, it was decided that ANY BIKE not just GS500s could play the game. So former GS owners could still participate.

Cods, pick a new challenge please.

Ya, I only read the first few pages of the thread. I am still a newb to GsTwins.com. Didn't realize Cod's did not have a GS.. Its all good

Lol...
Cods doesn't have 'A' GS... He has two!...
Just too lazy to move one in the same camera angle as his Ute! Or maybe he figured his postie bike would look better paired with the Ute...

:flipoff:

Ah we'll guys fugeddaboutit all and move on... It was confusing as a watched it throw down... Somebody nab this ice cream challenge!

0-60 mph in 5 seconds is faster than the average Jiu Jitsu fighter I believe, unless that one chase scene from Kung Fu Hustle is accurate.

While working on the garelli i had the tomos ready to roll when i heard the whistle. The tracks are down by the river, but i thought i'd have plenty of time. I cut it a little close, the caboose past right as my phone was loading the camera haha. Not a good action shot, but i snapped two photos to show it was in motion. Bikes in bottom left corner of photo, and the train in motion is on the far right.

If you do the challenge, then you do.
Otherwise (in random order)

* The prior person if the day ended in DAY
* 2 people prior if full moon on a Wednesday
* 3 people back if the date is odd and there is a high tide that day
* 4 people back if the date is even and the day does not end in DAY
* 5 people back if no one cares and a cat picture gets posted
* grumpy cat

Nugent (and other new players), for future reference....

The person who issued the FAILed challenge, is the person who issues Another Challenge.

Keep in mind, it is not designed to see if anyone at all anywhere can maybe possibly get it if they try real hard and are lucky - but - Who, in the rush of bikes speeding off in all directions, can get it first.

Hint: The easier the better.  :thumb:

THINGS work well, things we ride to. Street signs with certain words on them; business types, names, words; objects that can be seen from the side of the road; etc.

Generally speaking: If it requires effort (two or more people to pull off, constructing things to put near the bike, asking permission for access, asking permission for photo, etc.) it will be a FAIL. The more obscure the thing, the greater chance of fail.

Common things on the side of the road that can be ridden up to, a photo taken after quickly hopping off the bike, then getting back on the bike and riding away, have an increased chance of success. Generic worldwide things = good. Highly specific/regional things = not good.

Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: W79 on May 26, 2013, 03:31:13 PM
I was still thinking about a next challenge.
When I tried to complete John's 'bulldozer challenge' a few weeks ago, I mentioned that I'd start a picture challenge of my own.
Figured I might as well do it here, in the picture game.

Reason why I was still thinking about the challenge, is because I want some sort of link with Belgium.
But, as was discussed here very recently, very specific / regional things tend to lead to failed challenges.

So, here's an idea:  a picture of your GS in front of a chocolate shop.
Any kind of sweet shop will do, just one condition: there have to be chocolates on display / visible through the window.

Don't know how difficult this will be (in Belgium this would be a doddle: there's chocolatiers everywhere...), but I reckon chocolate's a pretty universal product so it should be feasible.

Reason why I wanted a link to Belgium is pretty obvious: the winner will get two bottles of my favourite beer: 'Tripel Karmeliet'.
Good luck ;)

Played with the idea of a pub/bar, with a 'catch'
There had to be a sign outside of a Belgian beer...

No clue as to how difficult that would be for you guys, that's why I didn't go for that one.
I know it would definitely be possible for the guys in the UK (they seem to love our 'Stella Artois')
but I wouldn't know about the US.

My guess is there's probably a few places out there that have some kind of logo outside (probably from 'Duvel') but they're probably few and far between...

What Belgian beer is there? We have a few boutique bars here with international beer. I believe even a Belgian beer cafe

There had to be a sign outside of a Belgian beer...

Brewery Vivant in Grand Rapids comes to mind. That's the place that gave me an appreciation for Belgian beer.

Yeah, problem is that we're still in the Spring/Fall until closer to the end of June (solstice is around 22 June, IIRC). Now the Memorial Day is past here in the US, the stores should start changing their signage to reflect where we're going rather than where we are. Soon...

Challenge is getting a bit stale so I will modify it.
A business for activities that are primarily outdoors (eg gardening, sport, hardware, equipment hire etc) that has a promotional sign with either "summer" or "winter" on it that is not part of the business name.

The game is dead. Been 2 weeks?

We need a challenge that someone can get.

Lets add a rule: if you post a challenge, show a picture of it so we know it can be photographed.

So lets get rid of the summer/winder challenge and get something that can be had in 1 hour to get the game moving again.

I don't like that rule.  For example, I don't live near the shore, but I should still be able to request a pic of your bike with the sun rising/setting over the ocean behind it.

How about the rule states that if it is not completed in a week the person that requested the pic has to post it. I don't care if Slack wants pics of the sunset...   :flipoff:
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: mister on June 18, 2013, 12:06:42 PM
The one week rule stipulates... the person who issued the challenge can only get it themselves after one week.

My number one personal rule when issuing challenges is: if you cannot get it yourself, don't issue it. Only issue challenges you know you could get IF noone else can get it within a week.

And so, we have 3 fails in a row. Banzai, a new challenge please.... without the Summer/Winter thing, it's pretty obvious noone can get anything like it, not at this stage.

Any bike is allowed to play Pete, even if the person writes "A pic with your GS". "Your GS" is code for "any bike of Yours in general".

I'd venture to guess, the PeeWee50 is actually the property of your Son, as it was probably bought as a Gift, right? So that doesn't count. Technical eh?

But seriously, Pete, any bike.

See back in the age of the large reptiles, all the world rode GS500s. As some of those faithful steeds died or moved to greener pastures, the riders now had new steeds. But they are family and cannot just be fobbed off like yesterday's stale peanut butter and jelly sandwich. So the GSTwins love shone through and the rule was passed to allow people to play our game here, even if they did not have a GS500. The universe was once again at peace.

i hadn't checked the thread for a few days and i though the "summer" signage one was still going on since everyone was having trouble with it. grabbed this one this morning on the way to work to see if it would sate the masses, but it was in vain :(

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi65.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fh222%2FLBstud42%2FDSC_0159_zpsc88837da.jpg&hash=bda29e5ce4cda6b608b53eded1db8aff16d30712) (http://s65.photobucket.com/user/LBstud42/media/DSC_0159_zpsc88837da.jpg.html)

it's a condo complex that goes by Summer Key. it had the needed word so i thought "what the hell, why not?"

lets go ahead and call that one done, but stick with the newest tag?

your bike and a citrus tree (lemon, orange, etc)

Post by: mister on June 19, 2013, 04:43:02 AM
Yes Dry, we stick with the latest challenge. But you have been accredited with the Summer win - though no prize of choosing a challenge awaits as it was a failed challenge completed.

Note to all new players. Failed challenges can still be completed. You just don't get to pic any other challenge by doing them, is all. And the failed challenges currently are...

- with you and a cop
- you and your bike next to a policeman getting a ticket
- a HazMat vehicle
- in front of a snow plow
- "No Hitchhiking" sign in front of prison
- WOODEN roller coaster
- your GS in a cool costume (such as Halloween costume)
- with a bikie/biker sitting on it
- a car you would really like to have, and could actually reasonably afford
- a rolling wheelie (NOTE: It was this challenge which saw the "no action shots" rule passed. Eg. no stunts, wheelies, skids, donuts, jumps, stoppies, etc.,)
- person on bike wearing a Snuggie
- car that is FAST AND FURIOUS! -  Something with aftermarket tail lights, wing, hood scoop etc
- Toyota mr2 or Toyota supra
- baby capsule w/ baby
- flex change sign with a joke on it
- a cheerleader in costume
- your bike wearing cardboard armor
- garden centre/plant nursery with a sign that has either "summer" or "winter" on it
- business for activities that are primarily outdoors (eg gardening, sport, hardware, equipment hire etc) that has a promotional sign with either "summer" or "winter" on it that is not part of the business name

Can we please get this game back on track. Challenges should not take a week to complete! Also I know its not a rule, but I try to make a challenge that everyone can play regardless of location.
IE: Not something that may be regional like citrus.

Post by: slipperymongoose on June 26, 2013, 03:32:51 PM
Challenge is infront of a citrus tree. I said karma if its in fruit so it's not a seasonal challenge.

Pete, a quick note for future challenges... the pic must be taken AFTER the challenge is issued and should not be a pic you already had on file. Just saying cause that ground looks pretty dry considering all the rain we've had the last couple of days.

Ya not bad, got it earlier in the week (the pic)... When the sun was out a little more than it has been in the last couple of days...

Were not playin for sheep stations, wish we were :)

After all it's a game & you have to play a smart game...

That's life!


The challenge went up & I thought I have one of those pics from my last outing on the humble GS ...

So the overlook went up & took all stations..

Wooo first photo challenges with Gabby!!

Previous old challenge of a car you want and could afford. I debated on an old land cruiser when I bought my Durango, but none were for sale locally..

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi287.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fll129%2Fsteezin_and_wheezin%2F2013-07-01_17-56-27_670_zps4e6e6a8d.jpg&hash=14164b8098851023b4336563759951b9d7c68b49)

Not sure if this will work for the Current challenge.. This is a cookie shop(shop above the white car) that also sells coffee, doughnuts, and Hershey icecream. Not sure if it passes a "cafe" though

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi287.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fll129%2Fsteezin_and_wheezin%2F2013-07-01_17-45-40_951_zps01dce6fa.jpg&hash=8e75cfd718fc67354fbd19d643bbd4ed86a5f660)

If thats acceptable, NEXT challenge; Yer bike with a restaurant that has an out door eating area. Can be anything from a lone picnic table to full blown covered area

Seems like many try to make the picture game into "get me a picture of something I want to see".  That's a good way to kill the game for a week.

If so, next challenge is, your bike with a firearm. :) This should be interesting.

P.S. I think this is different than the "Armed with a weapon" challenge previously completed.

Here are three of them. I couldn't move the Ninja as it is not mine and for some reason Olly did not take Nina to work.

Next: Your bike with an animal cage: could be a trap (raccoon in trap is a bonus and dead raccoon even more bonus!), chicken coop, gerbil in a cage, bird cage, or whatever. Bonus if strapped on a rear carrier.

Good the rule wasn't that they couldn't all be my own bikes.
If it was, I'd have to wait until the weekend when other twinners come to the bike cave for a wrench session.
I'm sure you've seen the pix when there were as many as 10 GS500's there at one time.

I saw a lot of interesting things at that crossing.  One of the things I didn't see, however, was a train!
The sensor just decided to lower the gates.  After sitting for about 10 minutes and seeing a taxi run the crossing  :mad: some cops show up, an ambulance shows up heading for a nearby hospital, cops guide ambulance across the tracks, then cops direct the traffic across the tracks.
In passing I opened the visor and said to the cop "What, no train?" and shrugged.  His reply, "Yeah, this happens all the time, it sucks!"
Some buildings obstructed the view of the tracks so you couldn't see if there was a train or not from the street, I was too lazy to turn around and take a detour.



OK, I'd like to see your bike on a balcony or on a railed ledge over a height you wouldn't want to jump down.


I don't think I saw anything like that in the lists, let me know if I need a new one.

Not sure what you want for "pavillion"
Here is the high school field and stadium which also houses a shooting range.
Does this work?

Hey, Pete, I know you've got a pic showing this "Pavillion" but we are still unsure...

We had Stadium - which was previously completed with a pic of The Gabba. And now Addy's High School Stadium.

But when I think Pavillion I think of those things in gardens

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bodew.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2011%2F10%2FNatural-Wooden-Pavilion.jpg&hash=ddb57f9f62d1b435ca85ad46d68da2b6648a5068)

Which can also be called Gazebo, I suppose.

Ok, nevermind, found this definition on Wikipedia....

A sports pavilion is usually a building adjacent to a sports ground used for changing clothes and often partaking of refreshments. Often it has a verandah to provide protection from the sun for spectators. The term pavilion is also used in stadia, especially baseball parks, to distinguish a typically single-decked, covered seating area from the more expensive seating area of the main grandstand and the less expensive seating area of the uncovered bleachers.

What's a "footy ground" and what do you define as a "pavilion"? Is it the bathrooms at a park? Dressing room? Indoor arena?

  :whisper: Addi, you do have local footy grounds , in your area maybe it's called "Gridiron football, or North American football, primarily played in the United States and Canada. You do have em across the pond... Normally it is the dressing rooms.  IE: Change rooms, like the pic I put up for an example.  :thumb:

*My* understanding is.... a Small freestanding structure that has change rooms, covered seating and maybe a small kiosk all in one.

This is what I think one is at the Richmond Cricket ground in the state of NSW....

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fscreencentral.com.au%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F11%2FScreen-Central-Richmond-Oval-3.jpg&hash=fa9139aef164e444877cc5ade068fe7fa540fdcd)

Pete's original example... is small, freestanding, has covered seating, what looks like a kiosk window and internal change area...

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gresleyabas.com.au%2FProjects%2FSports%2Fimages%2FCapelSports01.jpg&hash=365626700e946eb537eb1d1f82d9090253ea1562)

I think the key here is Small, or smallish... not like a huge Grandstand.

BTW, Footy is Aussie slang for Rugby League (or Aussie Rules Football depending on your prefered code) ground. Most of the clubs have a small thing like the wooden one pictured. Even some schools have them.

Here's another one (covered seating, small-ish, change rooms, etc)...

Terms we do not use: "Gridiron football, or North American football

So you want the toilets at a park?

Changing rooms are normally in the school that has the athletic field. Or they are under the seating stands if separated from the school. Can't think of any separate "changing rooms" at a park or athletic field - at least in this area. Only thing was the locker room and bathrooms in the seating stands (also a gun range under there). Other ones are in the adjacent school, by the indoor gym.

So you guys will have to do this one.

Yes - it wasn't that big of a place. Maybe 150 feet long. The left end has the bathrooms and locker rooms. Range is middle to the right end. 50 foot range so not that long. The side with parking is actually about 7 feet lower than the front side where the athletic field is located.

To the right of the utility pole you see the door for the range that goes to the right. Left is entrance to bathrooms and locker room. The roof really is the seating

I didn't see this in the list:

"Next to a no parking anytime sign" and make it a street, legal no parking sign. Not one on private property (like next to a building or driveway of a business). One where you will get a ticket for parking there.

Does this count? I figure I'm parked in a no parking zone AND I'm facing the wrong way, so that's a possible double ticket. Plus I've seen multiple get a ticket for parking there. Possibly experienced it first-hand...

We can do it with a truck while loading/unloading .... Kinda ... Hazard lights on, safety cones around perimeter and have to be able to show unable to park facing other way because doing so would mean impeding something/someone or otherwise causing a safety issue plus give a defined timeline till gone.... Even then it's up to the cops or parking rangers discretion ...  :icon_rolleyes:

A nearby Ducati dealer (also Triumphs and Husquvarnas).

If that is good enough, your bikes headlight shining on the entry/name sign at a national park or monument.

Yeah I know .... Used to be same for me... But the Missus has a recent fascination with tv shows of incarceration etc... Jail is where you go for misdemeanour or pre sentencing ... Prison is where you spend long stretches of your life trying to convince the authorities that 'you have found Jesus and should be released' ....

My mates refer to it as 'a trip up north'  :dunno_black:

Hi all,
Ages since I've contributed to this picture game.  Bike was out of action for a while.

Is the current challenge:
"Your bike parked on a ... Brick paved road, not a driveway an actual road."
or "donating to a homeless person or beggar"?

Pics that require Other People invariably fail. So a pic that requires three people - you the rider, the picture taker and the homeless person - is doomed from the get go.

So Talle... make the next challenge an inanimate object on the side of the road, ok? Something simple so the game can continue...

1. ! desperately need a new challenge while the Scottish weather is good!  Who is deciding?

2. Suggestion to help the game move on:
If the current winner is genuinely out of inspiration, how about they take an interesting challenge off the first list.  Alternatively, if there is a delay in a new challenge being set, we work through the first list successes, ignoring the FAILs.  (Would need to rely on Mister to mark those old list entries as being reused...)

Anything to keep the game moving along while it is summer... (I'm sure our Southern Hemisphere partners understand!)

now just need to find a mortarboard.

"On the other hand, the square academic cap also called a mortarboard-because of its resemblance in shape to the device utilized by masons to hold mortar-was reputed to have originated from a biretta worn by scholarly clergies, which was used to signify their superiority and intelligence. These hats became popular in the 14th and 15th centuries and were only worn by artists, humanists, students, and all those learned. They usually came in the color red signifying blood and life, hence, power more than life and death."

One the first times I got the piss scared out of me riding I almost got merged into on the expressway by one of those big semi-truck sized tow-trucks.  My little "meep-meep" horn and "vroom-vroom" exhaust wouldn't do anything to get his attention, good thing the Explorer next to me saw what was going down and stomped on it so I could squeeze in behind him.  Once I changed lanes the diver was like "Oh crap!" and went back, lot good it did then, though.
First thing I did the following days was cut off my exhaust and weld it back on without the muffler, and go to the local auto parts store and get a louder disc horn...


... Well, I went to the local Home Depot in search of orange doors, but much to my surprise they didn't have any.  All of the overhead doors as well as the pedestrian doors were steel and glass, and not painted...

But I did manage to see this in a neighboring parking lot.

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimageshack.us%2Fa%2Fimg801%2F2373%2F1fc4.jpg&hash=2bdf45bf5186b7f97d72910b2c11ace45c7d7794)

It's my bike next to the door of an orange Corvette.


I'll wait for approval on this one, I know it kind of violates the spirit of the challenge as it's an easy way out, but I'm not driving to all of the surrounding area Home Depots in search of one that happens to have an orange door.  However, the challenger said it could be any door so technically it fits.

Hi Inclement, welcome to the forum - and - to the game, all in one post. I guess we don't need to ask for a pic of your bike now  :icon_mrgreen:

Ok, so what is the next challenge? You'll find two lists of previous challenges in my sig line. Search the lists by hitting F3 on your keyboard and entering a word into the popup search box. Find something we haven't done before and post it up. No action shots or shots taken from your bike. And something we need to ride to get would be better.

thats kinda right for some

maybe on your keyboard!! .. or a standard desktop keyboard?? ...

on my laptop F3 is a screen brightness as default ... i was gonna say i cant find any F key that does that... but after a couple mins of checking and hmm-ing... if i hit the fn button on bottom of keyboard AND hit the F3 then i get the box you describe ...

mainly mention this in case someone else is having issues with the thing ... its not always set out the same way with different machines .. and i suppose some will have yet another way of this happening eh!  :icon_rolleyes:

YOUR BIKE ON A BEACH TOWEL

Parked on it is fine. Laying down for a sun tan gets bonus points.

CHALLENGE:  Something anyone can get and you have to ride to get it.

We have had a broken guard rail, but not a good one.

So a guard rail along a street to keep you from driving over a steep hill or something like that.

NOT a highway guard rail, but explore your hilly neighborhoods and find a guard rail on a residential street.

Just a FYI I could have done the last challenge as I have the guard rail thingy less than 200mts from my house, Just CBF doing these challenges sorry :dunno_black:

Next challenge:

Your bike in front of a giant, oversized American flag flying on a pole (or your country of residence if not in USA).  Like this one:

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fphotos.wikimapia.org%2Fp%2F00%2F00%2F98%2F65%2F12_big.jpg&hash=1d1fac60356b12daab33cccff3ad563cd542c995)

I'll try to grab a pic of the one I pass every day on my way to work just for show.  It's almost ridiculous how huge it is, you can see it from a long ways off on a clear day.  It's at a park district/fire department, and on days where the wind is just right it can be quite a majestic sight!  It's actually only about a half mile from where I took the pic of the FPD sign.

LOL, thanks  :cheers:

I do see eagles flying around a nearby unincorporated field on occasion (or are they hawks/falcons? :dunno_black: ), but not as often as I'd like and definitely probably not bald eagles...

I had one pass over the street so close to me it scared me!  I don't think I'd be exaggerating much if I said that if I were standing on my pegs I might have been able to reach up and touch it!  It was quite large, and either black or dark brown.  It was shadowed by the sun so it could have been any color, really.  Possibly a young bald eagle based on it's size, but more likely an adult golden eagle.


I have been fortunate enough (or unfortunate enough depending on how you look at it) that a family of bald eagles had claimed a nest at a small lake in the local forest preserves where I ride my mountain-bike.  Was awesome to hear, and I got a chance to see 3 perched on a piece of dead tree sticking out of the water when passing by one time, but due to state law there was erected a 200m no-go-zone around the nest which meant that some trails were temporarily shut down.


Anyway, sorry to skew focus.


Current challenge:   Your bike on a sports field or court!

I consider Morgan 3-wheelers to be cars. They are small, British and do compete against other cars on the racetrack. Not particularly sporting but close enough.

A Reliant Robin definitely doesn't count even though they have also been on Top Gear.

Considering Mazda basically designed the miata around a british sports car concept, it's close enough to being british. They even sent engineers from Japan over to Britain.

Wasn't there rumours that Lotus even did final suspension and chasis tweaks on the first MX-5?

But it isn't British and therefore doesn't qualify. If we followed your logic you could also include the Datsun Roadsters, Honda S600/800, Daihatsu Spider and Honda S2000. All of those Japanese cars are arguably better than almost anything the British made but they don't qualify for the challenge.

Mazda bought a Lotus Elan and based a lot of the design ideas for the MX-5/Miata on the Elan.

The new challenge is:
Your bike and a small British sports car. Think Lotus, Caterham, Sprite, Midget. Definitely not large like Jaguar or Aston Martin.

Well done Radodrill. Every time I see a Morgan 3-wheeler I think of the hilarious Peter Sellers movie The Party. Birdy num-num.

Your numberplate frame is interesting. Here in Australia, you can't sell Honda and Yamaha at the same dealership. I think it is Honda that is responsible for the restriction. I guess it would be like GM and Ford at a common dealership.

They are an authorized dealer for Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, KTM, and Kawasaki; so basically all the major Japanese bikes.  In my area there are quite a few dealers with Honda and Yamaha under the same roof; some of them may also carry Suzuki or Kawasaki, but all of them together is not very common.

Not sure on the Yamaha bit.... but the bike shop in Ipswich sold Kawasaki, Suzuki and KTM. They Then became a dealer for Honda - but - the Hondas HAD to be in their own showroom. So they built a small glass partition to put the Hondas behind, as per Honda's rules. Meanwhile, the KTMs, Suzukis and Kawasakis sat next to each other. There was already a diff Yamaha dealer four clicks or so up the road so not going to have two so close.

this is in front of public school number 4 in jacksonville. supposedly one of the "most haunted" places in northeast jacksonville. google it and you will find many videos, pictures, and stories about what has gone on here. i will admit that it was quite creepy, even during the day and from the edge of the grounds.

If someone is near Moundsville, WV; then there's always the (now decommissioned) WV State Penitentiary; considered to be one of the most haunted prisons in the US.  Incidentally, there were 94 executions (85 by hanging and 9 in the electric chair), 36 homicides, several escapes, and mass riots.

The plant was up and running until it caught fire in the 1920s. It is said that 23 employees died in the fire due to the fact that the exits had been chained shut by the plant owner. Shortly after this, the owner committed suicide by a gunshot to the head. The four story building is a hair-raising site just to look at. It is noted by those who have entered the building that shadows have been spotted running to the exits. On the far right window of the third floor, a woman with a look of terror on her face has been reportedly seen by those who have attended. Not only this, but on nights of a full moon a gunshot can be heard followed by a flood of screams.

any kind of snowman will do. good lord guys use your imagination. if something isn't specified that usually means it's left open for some kind of subjectivity...

NEXT CHALLENGE: Your bike at a Ticket Office - place where you buy tickets for something. Must say ticket or tickets on sign. Only exception is outfront of a cinema with an inside Box Office and the Box Office sign can be seen through the window. Otherwise, an outdoor ticket center Must have the word Ticket or Tickets on the sign above it.

I was really excited when i saw this challenge since one of the things my small town has is a theater with an outdoor box office!

But when I went to get the picture I saw there's no sign of any kind above the window.....

Post by: CrispThat on January 02, 2014, 01:41:21 PM
Well this is as close as I can get. No sign saying tickets, but it's obviously a ticket booth at a movie theater. Maybe special consideration for still riding in January in Montana?

The Theater:

Even though the challenge hinges on the sign...

Your bike at a Ticket Office - place where you buy tickets for something. Must say ticket or tickets on sign. Only exception is outfront of a cinema with an inside Box Office and the Box Office sign can be seen through the window. Otherwise, an outdoor ticket center Must have the word Ticket or Tickets on the sign above it.

I've had a look around your town and boy oh boy you'd have no chance. So, we'll call this one done. Well done for winter riding in Montana - and welcome to the game  :thumb:

So, next challenge?

-- check both the lists in my signature line of previous challenges --
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: adidasguy on January 02, 2014, 09:44:23 PM
Congrats and welcome to the game.

I thought that theater was familiar. The Admiral Theater in West Seattle was also designed by Pritica.

Pick a good challenge: something not too difficult but something we have to ride to find. The real fun is in seeing who can do it first --- not who can do the impossible.

Sorry for taking a while with the next challenge. I was enjoying the ski slope for the last couple of days. You know its a weird year when you can snowboard and ride you bike in the same day....

Anyway, next challenge:

A slice of pizza from a local, non-chain pizza place. Photo must have both the outside sign, and the pizza in it.

Nope... we have redundancy...

If CrispThat does not issue another challenge - then - it reverts to the previous challenge of a Ticket Sales Office. That is, anyone can get the Ticket Sales one and then issue their own challenge. The game thus continues...

So, Crisp, please issue another challenge...

here's my entry for a past tag

your bike and a car that's "fast and furious"

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi65.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fh222%2FLBstud42%2FDSC_0345_zpsd4e8d386.jpg&hash=e66c49943d0d37906b09de04a47e4171ed07485a) (http://s65.photobucket.com/user/LBstud42/media/DSC_0345_zpsd4e8d386.jpg.html)

it's miata, so its neither fast...or furious for that matter. but it fit the description for the tag modifications wise. i couldn't find the van that i saw the other day again. would have been waaaaay better than this one.

If this passes, the next challenge is your bike loaded up with bags/luggage, outside a public service building; hospital, police station, etc. Tank and tail would be a good minimum.

I thought it was a good variation on the theme...so long as it is understand the more mundane the building, the more ridiculously loaded the GS should be.

A ranger station at the top of a mountain would only require a small tank bag. The post of down the street from your house will require a full set of Samsonite tweed.

Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: HotrodScamp on March 13, 2014, 06:50:48 PM
Tonight I spent a little time looking at past challenges to try to come up with something original. Now that's a challenge! By my count, over the last 5 years of this thread there have been 708 challenges, an average of more than 2 a week! Only 20 of them are listed as FAIL...

with you and a cop
you and your bike next to a policeman getting a ticket
with a HazMat vehicle
in front of a snow plow
WOODEN roller coaster
with a bikie/biker sitting on it
person on bike wearing a Snuggie
baby capsule w/ baby
flex change sign with a joke on it
a cheerleader
your bike wearing cardboard armor
garden centre/plant nursery with a sign that has either "summer" or "winter" on it
business for activities that are primarily outdoors (eg gardening, sport, hardware, equipment hire etc) that has a promotional sign with either "summer" or "winter" on it that is not part of the business name
Citrus tree
540i BMW (car)
awkwardly sized "natural" grocery item on the back
donating to a homeless person or beggar
world's largest ________ road side attraction sign
Jet boat
slice of pizza from a local, non-chain pizza place

Has there been a ruling on revisiting failed challenges? There are more than a couple of those I'd like to go after.

So, after careful consideration, I think I have an original challenge to suit the apocalyptic winter most of us have just witnessed:

Your bike near a large (or multiple) pothole/s!

 Hmm, potholes? I may be able to get this if I go out today. Only problem is that I'd have to find a place to stop by the potholes, because the huge ones are on a two lane backroad that gets traveled a lot.

in front of a snow plow

I can probably do this today.  My bike has no engine in it, but the building it is in also shares it's home with a construction company that has a lot of plow trucks.


If I get a chance I'll wheel it over and snap a quickie.

Hotrod, pothole was already done. http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=45412.msg617355#msg617355

Please pick another challenge...

Missed that one! I only searched 'pothole' as one word not as two words.  :dunno_black:
So, I'll try again... I searched race, track, racetrack, and nascar with no results  :woohoo:

Your bike at a race track (sign in view)

Hmm ... there is a motocross track fairly close by; but I don't think the track itself is visible from the gate, though there is a sign at the gate.  Would that count?

Closest Tesla dealer would be like 4+ hr one way (none in WV).

Morgan motors are spread even thinner here in the US (only 13 dealers) yet there is one 15 min from home.  Guess they thought it would be nice having a dealer in Morgantown ;)

I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing that it takes some time to accomplish challenges.

It might just take a little time to find a location with employees that aren't skittish,

or maybe folks are just planning something special ;) .

Rules a while back were that any bike could be used because many GS owners had moved on from a GS. Restricting it to only GS's then cut out many good members of this community.
Jacob is still a part of our community even though he no longer has his GS500.

Wait no longer, I also love this game! Much fun to go search for something right after work.

The new challenge is, your bike with a Violet Crumble. Some of you might have never heard of them, but it is a very rare seafoam candy, given the seasonal celebration. Here is a picture:

Of course if no one can find it, I will issue a new challenge, an easier one. I know for a fact that World Market carries them :)

Come on guys, the weather is nice out. Lets keep the challenges to ones that are easily accessible by Every user. That makes it more of a race to get it as opposed to us all just watching the forum for the challenge to fail..

Besides most of us are too old to be riding over to the local high school and ask the young biddies to pose on our moto(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi287.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fll129%2Fsteezin_and_wheezin%2Fsmilin%2Ftheyareontome.gif&hash=a17a70f1b65ee654e267f93c5f5a0173191fbe17)

Failed challenge - you and your bike next to a policeman getting a ticket(i'd assume this meant a cop Giving* a ticket?) Off in the background a local 5-0 giving a ticket to the SUV pulled over.

I understand exactly where you are coming from, but I think that's what the "7 day" timer is supposed to be for.

Well, this meant YOU getting a ticket from the cop.  Destined to fail.  Unless you just have an unusual desire to piss off a cop.

All that said, your pic as as close as anyone is going to get IMO.

Looks like i am going to miss the deadline on the cheerleading picture, although she is available this weekend so I might still be able to post it.

the OP of the challenge can always push it another week if others agree.


.....she better be super hot though.....

Haha, I think it will surprise you (in a good way!) :icon_mrgreen: :thumb:

I say lets set a new challenge. Shinji can always go back and accomplish yet another failed cheerleader challenge.

Lets pick something that makes us ride more out there and post less in here..

I definitely appreciate the offer of the extension  :bowdown:

I say for the sake of the community, go ahead and post a new challenge  :thumb:

Welcome to the game slicknezz! Bonus points don't make/break the challenge. However, photos submitted for the current challenge must be taken after the challenge has been set. No old photos can win current challenges.

If you are still close swing back by and snap a new photo, but I've got perfect spot in mind so the race is on!!

No .. I think you should leave it.... There's always someone not happy about whatever challenge... Too far, wrong country, wrong season, deep in city, deep in country, too hard to find, too easy to get .... Etc etc...  :dunno_black:

Why only finding/taking a pic of 3 up superheroes is a driveway only thing I don't know? .... Someone's buddies could live 30 miles away and have a better backdrop or something for photo??? ... Hiding in ones own driveway or in garage with costumes on to take photo is the photographers issue .. . Not the challenge setters!  ;)

It's been over a week, the three person in super costumes now joins the failed challenges.

I believe the issuer of that challenge now needs to issue a new challenge!

Ok then. That I will. This is a double photo challenge. I want a photo of your bike under a highway/freeway/old road sign along 2 points of the same road. In a way to prove that you rode it or at least travelled some distance along it. I thought this up in response to the "give you an excuse to get out and RIDE" comment. (No hard feelings. Completely agree)

Most all the good riding roads around here have no highway/freeway close by ( the beauty of riding in the country); would 2 route signs along the road count?

 I'd do the strip if I had one close enough. The local one closed down last year and moved about 2 hours away. :( There's another one that's about an hour or so away but they do their races on Thursday and I have to work the next day so that's out too.

Sorry to detract from the topic here, but @slicknezz double posting (or in this case multiple posting) is typically a frowned upon behavior on message boards.
If you can, please try to use the edit tool to make corrections to, modify, or replace the content of your post rather than make post after post after post.

Multi posting does several things negative, one of which is just to add clutter to the boards.  If you want to add something after posting, tap that refresh key.  If none else has posted after you, please do us a favor and edit your last post rather than make a new one.

As a mod myself on another forum, it is of my opinion that making instructions public is generally better for the health of the board as a whole.  Another newbie might read this topic and see the post and know what's up.  A PM to one person solves one problem, while when public it can solve potentially many problems.

Sorry to go farther off topic, please continue (sidles back into the shadows).

slicknezz ..You have part 2 of the list there by the look of it... The first one got too long... Member search the name of mister ... He has BOTH lists in his sig!

... The double post thing.... While it is a 'forum rule' ... Don't take it to heart ... I got over 30? in a row in the LPW thread (just to see how many I could get!) ..... That's in the tard farm though  ;)

... And while it's nice to heed advice given by members.... The RULES here on this forum are written by JOHN !! ... Everyone else is at his mercy the mods do their thing when required but it's normally all pretty laid back and friendly.... (Btw don't...I mean DONT ask for a custom title unless you are prepared to accept ANYTHING) ...

Grammar nazis, rule nazis and 'fairness' nazis exist here also.... But I'm an Aussie and care not for them! ... I abide by Johns word/rules and apart from that post where, when and what I want ... Sometimes it's even on topic!  :icon_razz: ...

Ok riders, think of the lion king movie. Remember pride rock?
Similar rock formation picture must be looking up to your bike on the rock formation. (doesn't have to be as big or identical) seen one on my way out to a lake :)

There is no excuse for what I'm about to do

I doubt this is going to count but I don't care. Decided to have a little bit of fun with this. We have a ton of rocks around our place so I set about making  Pride Rock myself. Haha.

Given the accurate representation, and dedication involved to pull it off - I'd give it to him, though its a twist on the challenge... I always welcome creativity and interpretation when it comes to the picture game challenges.

Side note - With all the new people playing and mister being MIA and unable to update the main list. I think we should have a rule change. I vote that we allow previous challenges as long as they haven't been used in the past month or two. This will keep the challenges fresh and hopefully stay away from having to pick random ass challenges that no one even has a desire to accomplish. In turn, causing most everyone(including myself) to lose interested in the game.. I will get my list up to date with recent challenges so there will be a list to check through. What say the masses?

Next Challenge;
Yer bike with a water treatment plant. Can be a fresh, waste, or any water treatment.

Usually every town will have one. The fresh waters are usually out in the country down by the holler on the side of that ole little crick

There is actually a ten foot bear statue about 30 miles from me... Also an ear of corn statue next to it too if I remember correctly... trouble is, you can only see it from the Interstate and there is construction down to one lane of traffic - so it would be a 'bear' to get a pic of it right now =/

I might be able to get it this weekend as long as its not raining.  But the range I go to is indoors...  Besides, if I was going to the outdoor range I'd be going to shoot and rifles and shotguns don't fit on a bike.

Pic game is starting to run out of ideas and get more obscure, if you ask me.  As noble of a goal as it is to never repeat challenges, I wonder if a clean slate is in order.
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: wahoohaw on July 26, 2014, 12:26:53 PM
I'd accept anything for it. Out side the indoor range with the sign in the pic or at the outdoor with a rifle leaning against it. Either way. I'm a gun nut so I just wanted to see another rider who likes guns too.

And A little while ago someone made the point of being able to repeat challenges as long as they haddent been done in the last few months or so. I came into the game late and would like to see a surge in participation. It's fun. Plus it gives me something to look out for while riding.

Bending the rules a little, couldn't find a Jeep however will a Aston Martin do?

If accepted next picture with cool dog wearing riding goggles (or without, must not stress out the dog) either like riding the gs500 or on the bike.

Tis an awesome car but challenge is with a lifted jeep as in a lift kit and big tires. Not on a lift.

However lets give t one more day. if no one else completes the challenge by the end if tomorrow I'll accept it. I do like your challenge and could def get my dog to put on my goggles. Getting him on the bike would be tricky.

Here's a pic I found on Internet that is basically what I'm looking for.

So I'm gonna just go ahead and give Jasper27 the win because I want the game to go on. His challenge is a pic of a dog wearing riding goggles/glasses. On or next to your GS.

Just for fun when I pulled into my parking lot at work today I saw this nice blacked out jeep. Kinda hard to see in the pic because it's black everything. I didn't think that challenge was gonna take so long to be accomplished.

Haha this was fun. My pup Jacoby. I am a strong supporter of animal resuce centers and adoption over breeding. Both my dogs came from the SPCA. 

Next Challenge;  your bike at an animal shelter/rescue. Hopefully you will go in and visit with some of the animals vs just stopping in the parking lot to snap the pic. Not required though. Lol.

It's been just about 2 weeks since the bikini challenge. I'm imagining nobody's gonna get it. So it's up to LocalGuyLawnCare to choose another challenge. I always like wen the challenge is easy to accomplish that way we move on quickly and can get a new challenge almost everyday. It's been cold in virginia the last week or so, so haven't seen any girls in bikinis to ask to sit on my bike.

Here's my GS next to my Ninja Turtle van I built back in 2010 just for sh*ts and giggles  :icon_rolleyes:

Hope this won't be too hard but the next challenge is your bike next to or in front of an American Red Cross.  (Seems random I know but I work at one and that's where I am now LOL)  :D

Well, you can still do it.  As per the rules of the game any failed challenge can be completed by anyone at any time.  You just have to name a new challenge so we can keep the game going.

Post by: i8ball on May 03, 2015, 10:40:10 PM
so is there a new challenge put out yet and i was thinking how this one might work since its not really sport season for schools so the cheerleader would be hard to find.

Right, the cheerleader challenge was a asking a bit much.

How about this. A picture of your bike in front of a river or creek.

I guess I won't call out for a 3-way or 5-way stop sign in the future  :flipoff:
I figured the good old 4-way was a staple across america.

I guess Oz is smart enough to use roundabouts instead of 4-way's  :cheers:

In front of my friend's Impreza.  Sorry for bad angle, didn't want to show his plate.

You bike in front of a sign that says "watch for motorcycles" or something similar.

Post by: Watcher on May 24, 2015, 10:05:33 PM
Actual road signs are pretty common in my area, mostly near busy intersections.

I'd prefer a road sign as it pairs best with the spirit of this game (get out and ride!), but other stuff can fit the bill.  A banner is a great substitution!
Bumpersticker?  Meh.  I guess it'll work...
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: Slack on May 25, 2015, 04:49:54 AM
Dude, bumper sticker is more "get out and ride" then a sign.
If I see a car with a "Stay Aware / Motorcycles are out there" bumper sticker, I'm going to have to keep on riding until the car stops and I can get a pic. If I see a road sign I stop riding right then.  :thumb:

Cali is a may issue state. i.e. If someone has tried to kill you and a judge has reason to believe they may attempt it again, you can get a permit, otherwise f off and move to a real state if you want the right to protect yourself.

It depends what county one lives in. The ones close to the SF bay is a shall not issue and the further out you go the better your chances of getting a CCW is.

I'm not a huge fan of open carry but I could care less if others do. The ten round limit is bull and the judges are bull. I can't wait till the day someone realizes that any law opposing or restricting the 2nd amendment is unconstitutional.

DB, did you get that idea of the boat from my Instagram??? :woohoo: I saw you were on there! It's an honor because of how beautiful your bike is. (I know I know you've heard that a million times) I could put my pic  up here but it's not exactly on a boat. Just near boats lol.

Thank you for the great words, but there is no reason for you to feel honored because i visited your instagram dude, i'm just a fool spending way to much money on an old GS.

I want to keep the game moving and all. But that pic doesn't count DB.
It has to be taken AFTER the challenge has been made. No scrolling through past photo files.

Oké to bad, i didn't read the terms.

I'm going to go with slacks challenge because he got it first... But it is close to dB's challenge. Just not on a boat.

Next challenge: (I'm sure this might have been done before so let me know if it was but...) Picture of your bike next to a curvy road sign!

I was gonna ask the same question.  Was thinking about how the forks and handlebars would look with pants and a jacket, then I thought it would be too much hassle removing the front wheel...

Hi Slack there is a rod holder on the back, two infact

as far as dressing the bike I was thinking safety gear on the bike its self but I didn't say there couldn't be a person so I guess we will just have to see what people do.

It rained on the ride home.  When I got home I was tired and cold and hungry, and when I remembered the picture I really didn't want to put wet gear back on...

Tomorrow I'll have something if nobody beats me to it.

Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: ShowBizWolf on June 27, 2015, 08:33:41 AM
I totally agree! And it was really cheap too, got it on (what appears to be) an eternal sale. I have the long johns, gloves, booties and that jacket/shirt thing in the pic. The gloves don't work very well for me though, I think they make my leather gloves too tight and prevent proper circulation to my fingers? Idk so I wear them when I shovel snow instead  ;)

Ok next challenge is your bike with your pet! Bark bark, purr purr  :D

Lot of ChiTown riders popping up lately.  We'll have to organize a GStwin ride soon!



I keep forgetting about this challenge.  Supposed to storm tomorrow, but I'm off work.  If the weather isn't too bad I'll try for something.  Don't think I'll be riding into the city to visit Lake Michigan but there's ton's of County Forest Preserves around, and many have good sized lakes I can get my bike near.

Does a dirt or gravel shore count?

My Browning Buckmark .22lr pistol.  Tons of fun to shoot, cheap, and very accurate!  My favorite pistol by far.

Next challenge, your bike with a sign for an animal crossing, but one that has a picture of a specific animal.  Like, if it says "Deer crossing" it's a no go, gotta have that jumping deer silhouette on it.
Bonus points if it's something unique like an armadillo or something.

Was thinking on a bridge or a dock or something.

I'll likely be out riding either tomorrow or Monday.  If noone else has it by then I'll knock it out and post something new.

I'm cheating to get the game going again.
I stole this pic from the "what did you do to your bike today" thread.
They are on a large ferry.

Next Challenge: A pic of your bike with a sign in the background that is mostly black, white, and orange.
H.D. dealer would be a last ditch effort, try to find something else if you can.

Yeah, sorry guys.  I had plans to solve my own challenge and post something new but, well, with the crash and all I simply haven't been able to...

going for a long shot to get the game going again, found this pic of my bike on my pc with my local garrage sign in the distant background, the sign is deep orrange with white lettering outlined with black...
NEXT CHALLENGE: Easy one, A picture of your bike with a starbucks infront of a starbucks!!

Almost 3 months later but I got it!!! I won't go near this shopping plaza during the day... the layout is horrible and it's usually very crowded so that's a no-no for this chicky.

Okay maybe we can get the game rolling again. The next challenge is a picture of your bike with something you collect. It could be baseball cards, shot glasses, action figures... you get the idea.  :cheers:

Hehe ohhhh I can only imagine  ;)

I have a huge collection of classic TMNT stuff... a moderate collection of ShowBiz Pizza memorabilia (can be pricey believe it or not and has taken me 15 years to collect what I have) and I also have a small collection of Bewitched/Liz Montgomery items.

Since everyone's bike is currently busted, let's get some momentum behind this thread for all y'all.

I love books, moving on... how about putting a big heaping bowl of ice cream on top of your GS, that sounds tasty.

ooo a day late, good win Iarn! Above is the beginning of a tiny collection(pun definitely intended!). A friend of my papa made the working crescent wrench from scratch and I found this tiny razor when I purchased my house. My dad has a tiny hammer a friend made him, but he's having trouble finding it, go figure! I have collections of other stuff, but this one is a bit special to me. I don't want to scour ebay for tiny tools - this collection will only grow as I stumble on, am given pieces, or finally get time to make one of my own

Raining today so I'll have to wait until next week for the Icecream challenge. Glad to see the game back moving though!!

I lack a sweet tooth in general, truthfully.  :icon_eek:

And I took my van to my parents house for Easter... had to take deviled eggs I made and also figured there would be lots of leftovers for me to take... mmm Easter ham and mum's potato salad, etc <3

Yeah, I don't think keeping the running list is worth it at this point. We've had soo many it's tough to even search through the thread for it. I think we decided a while back that to keep the game moving just try to choose any challenge that hasn't recently been used. Rules always hinder the fun anyways!

Ice cream or fav restaurant it is!

Bugger, I just got back from shooting my bike and when I couldn't find the challenge post I realised that I was viewing the first page instead of the last and so I did the "picture with a statue" challenge. Seeing as I put so much effort into this I'm going to post it anyway. The famous Bee Gees way statue in the background, I call the photo BGS...

That is super cool!!! I clicked the link and scanned through (can't do too much here at work) and I'm assuming I can't see the picture of your bike because again, I'm at work and sometimes these computers don't display pics in threads.

I got a pic with my boss yesterday but I can't post it right now, gotta wait until I get home later! !

@ lucas - That bike is an RG250, has 250cc two stroke engine. So those fatty exhaust pipes are expansion chambers. Two stroke animation;

It's never been a strict requirement.  With many members owning more than one motorcycle and "graduating" to bigger bikes it was bound to dissolve a little.  I tried going back to see if there was any particular instance of them discussing it but I am not digging though that many pages.  I saw a GSX-R on one of the 80s pages and noone questioned it, so it had been established as OK before then at some point...

So I'd like to still participate with my Honda.  I've owned 2 GSs over the last 4 years or so, and at one point used one as my sole vehicle, so I have some GS credibility :P

Too bad I can't complete the current challenge.

Thanks man. I went through alot to get this solo corbin re-done. You got a decent bike there as well :cheers:

Well, I didn't want to complete two challenges back to back but since noone else has stepped up...

I'm on that green machine.  Was screen-capped from a video a buddy took of a few of us going out for lunch...


Next challenge!  Your motorcycle nearby a farm animal!  Go explore some country roads!  Don't have to be right next to said animals, a good throwing distance away is plenty fine!

Awesome pic, Watcher... I was thinking about how I'd manage to get this pic myself but my dad would probably be the only one willing to do it for me and I don't see him much during the week. Glad you got the pic!!!!

Farm animal... hmm... good challenge  :thumb:

In my area there's a handful of farms with grazing areas that come close to the road side.  I'm not expecting you guys to ride your bikes through a field to get up close and personal with some cows, stopping on the shoulder nearby a pasture with horses in it or something should be fine enough.

Not sure.  It's my roommate's.  Just a wall hanger, not a serious sword.  Has nice weight, though.  Hand and a half size, and for some reason there's a decent sized ricasso but I don't think you've ever make use of it for half swording or anything... 
The grip is terrible.  Looks cool, though.

I have a mild interest in swords but don't personally own any.  I'd like a greatsword.  I like a sword that has wow factor but I don't like overly fancy either.
I'd pick up a replica claymore or a typical Zweihander eventually.

As for the challenge, part of the spirit of this game is getting out and riding, forcing adventure so to speak.  So I like to propose challenges that will get people out of the garage!

Local parts place.  Should be simple enough.  I'm working and it's supposed to rain for the next few days, so I probably won't get this one.


Just for giggles, I cropped that photo I took and added some kind of filter.  Looks kinda cool.

Local Cyclegear.  Not so much parts aside from tools and oil and filters and such, more so gear, but it counts.
They give me an instructor discount so that's win.

Your bike in front of a sign advertising something as the "biggest".
Worlds biggest pizza slice, Australia's largest emu farm, etc, you get the idea...

These always are tough to get as most of us don't have road side style attractions for the biggest in the country/state/world..

'Bout the best(well worst) here local to me is the Radford Arsenal. Known to be the biggest polluters in the whole state of VA. They aren't likely to put that on a sign though  :icon_lol:

Maybe a new challenge for a new week? I have the moto out and wouldn't mind searching for another win!
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: Watcher on June 07, 2016, 11:44:33 PM
There's a pizza place down the road from me advertising the world's biggest pizza slice.  It's basically 1/4 of like an 18" pie.
I think you're thinking too large scale.  Doesn't really have to be a roadside attraction, just some a-hole businessman...


How about we just modify it to include stuff like "Chicago's best pizza"?
Just someone making an outrageous claim.  Not necessarily size related...

Would that be any easier or would you like a new challenge completely?

Not sure how common C7 corvettes are overseas/outside of the USA. Maybe it could be broadened to any corvette to allow more people a chance at this one. Also, for the record, I wouldn't know the difference myself between any modern corvette.

I made my own rule that I wouldn't go to another car show until I finished restoring my Spirit... a form of motivation  :thumb: The Carlisle Mopar show 2017 is my goal... and even when/if I go, I won't be finding a Corvette there !  ;)

Hmm...  I'll have to stop by my old boss's house.  If he's home maybe I can get him to open the garage and pull out the old man's C3 so I can grab a pic.

Unless it has to be a C7.  If I spy one while out and about I'll grab a pic of one of those as well.

No luck.  Boss was out, and although I DID pass a C7 driving opposite me I wasn't about to chase him down and ask for a pic.  Nothing was parked.

I might head out again later, but I was out since noon and I'm hungry and my ass hurts.  Should have put on the Corbin...

Been looking but this is a VERY hard challenge.  The R90s seems to be a very rare bike, and I'm not in the most motorcycle populated area, nor the most euro-friendly area either.  People around here ride Harleys or crotch-rockets...

Can we broaden the challenge?

Don't look at me, I posted two which were too much of a challenge, apparently. FFIW I hardly think a photo of your bike with a bird sitting on it was too taxing. Maybe it's time to quietly let this thread die. Or maybe not. I'll gift my previously hard won right to set the challenge to whoever gets here first with the next challenge.

YOU sit in your front yard with a camera ALL DAY staring at your bike on the off chance a sparrow lands on it for 2 seconds while simultaneously resisting the urge to ride or tinker with it at all.
Sorry, not doing it.  I've got work and other things going on, and I didn't buy a bike to look at it.

A lot of people don't seem to understand that the concept of this game is to get people RIDING!  Go out and explore your area looking for a way to complete the challenge.
Stuff you can do in your own home is rather spiritless, and stuff that requires rock-like patience defeats the purpose in my opinion...

Although I guess "baiting" the bike was always an option.  But then you gotta clean that nasty bird crap off of it afterward...

I have to kinda agree... that the bird one was really hard... I keep my bike inside out of the sun and elements... and when it is outside, I'm either riding it or it's sitting in the parking lot at work. I can't watch outside and hope for a bird to land on it while I'm working :icon_sad:

I also am aware that the game is *supposed* to be challenging...!! I totally get that...  :thumb: but I'm being honest when I say that the last two were basically impossible for me. Best chance I would have had to get the pic of the BMW would have been back in June when there's a huge rally in my town... other than that, bikes are not too numerous around here  :technical:

Come off it Wolfy, it would have been easier than getting a shot of a ferris wheel in the background unless there's one in your town. What I had in mind was that someone would have a pet cockatoo or some other interesting bird that would happily sit on the handlebars for a selfie. tbh the biggest challenge for me was trying to think up a challenge that wasn't too hard and wasn't too boring and also had not been already done.
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: Watcher on September 13, 2016, 10:32:03 AM
Well, to be fair you did say "live wild bird" and when that comes up I don't think pet.  Exotic or not, a Macaw is not wild...

And we've long since given up the rule that you can't repeat old challenges.  Just that they can't be recent.  The original players here don't seem to participate so the list and OP don't get updated anymore.

As far as the ferris wheel goes, maybe it's something the USA or my area only really does but during the summer months we have traveling "carnivals" with rides that pop up somewhere new every weekend, and 9/10 there's a ferris wheel.
All one would have had to do was Google a nearby carnival and ride to it.

But let's please not make a huge thing over this.  The challenge wasn't completed in the span of a month, new challenge time, let's get after those sunsets!

Yeah live "wild" bird is what threw me. My neighbors have a very very loud bird (and also a motorcycle) lol... and I could have asked them...!! Didn't know it could be someone's pet   :oops:  :dunno_black:

Well, it's a good challenge.  Just the R90 is so specific.  If it was broadened to "any vintage BMW bike" rather than straight up changed to "wild live bird" I think someone would have nabbed it in time.

Post by: Watcher on September 13, 2016, 08:50:26 PM
This one's got a story attached to it! And I think I nailed what Janx requested.

OK, so the mountains are hella dangeresque at night, and although I was fine I encountered someone who low-sided!  Lucky for them, they weren't harmed too bad.  Squid, road rashed a little, some gravel in the arm, and maybe a tooth knocked out or a busted lip (was too dark to tell), I'm guessing he target fixated and hit gravel at a relatively low speed.  Lucky for him he wasn't banged up too bad, his bike didn't look totaled but it was leaking oil...
When I passed I saw his white what looked like a Ninja on the ground, and a Kawi Vulcan parked next to it with a man (geared up) who had just walked over to pick up the Ninja.  The rider was walking down the road in a rage, sun is fully behind the mountains by now, no riding gear so he's basically invisible, 15 miles from town, still about 5000 feet up.  I passed the whole situation and made a U-turn so I approached squid first. Asked is everything was ok and he just said "Yeah" and kept walking.  I said he better get off the road since he can't be seen but he ignored me.  The guy on the Vulcan, I'm assuming his dad, had better to say.
Said squid seems like he's not hurt bad, and that he was going to run home to the base of the mountain and come back with a trailer.
I asked if I could help at all and he requested if I could give squid a ride down since his Vulcan was a single seater.  I would have but I took the rear pegs off my Buell a few days ago.  So he asked to maybe try to calm down squid a little while he got the trailer.

I approached him again, got him to stop walking, checked out his injuries.  Seemed not too bad.  About 300 feet down was a parking lot trail-head with a bathroom, got him that far and sat him on a rock.  By now he seemed pretty calm, and used the sink to wash off a little.  Asked him a few times if he wanted me to stick around and he said no, he was fine, just needed to clear his head.  I didn't have any water to leave, unfortunately, and not wanting to be in danger myself I decided to make use of what little light was left and keep descending.
Stopped at a scenic outlook near the foot of the mountain to catch the city lights and saw a truck pulling a trailer headed back up.  I waved them down, it was Mr. Vulcan, told him where I left squid, wished them luck.  He thanked me and went on his way.  By now it's pitch black.

While taking in the sights I met a guy on a CBR600 F4i, got to chatting, he told me a few cool areas to ride, we exchanged numbers.  Spent way too long just looking over Tucson valley, and now I'm here at my PC.

Took a LOT of photos because I didn't know how my camera would handle the lighting, and most of them didn't come out too well.  Here are the winners, starting with my challenge submission, a shot of early sunset during the ascent, and just a shot of the valley.  Cell phone camera isn't the best but you get the idea.

OK, so next challenge:

You bike by a rust-bucket!  Could be a moldy old junkyard car, someone's project '52 Chevy, or that old man's Buick down the block that backfires every time he pulls into his house.

Thanks!  I actually didn't intend for the bike to be so distant, just when I was up closer the camera couldn't decide on what to focus on and I'd get a junky washed out lighting shot of the Buell with no detail in the background or I'd get decent background and an invisible bike.
So I skipped (yes literally) across the road, held the camera down at my waist, and got that one.  I think it came out just fine!

.... every mountain and situation is different, but personally I love a night run on my local mountain twisties. .  Very little traffic. Plus you get advance warning from headlight beams around the corner... I don't tear the road up... just try to make it a seamless series of corner transitions. .. often its a quicker run overall compared to blast&brake with daytime traffic!

I think all of us just want to see it regardless.  But that's up to user11235813 if he says that'll complete his R90 challenge.

Honestly, this game doesn't have any "winners" since there's no points tally (it would be hard to score anyway since some challenges are obviously harder than others).  Everyone who posts a picture basically just gets a "participation award".  But it gets us out riding, we get to share a piece of our lives with the rest of the world, and we get to see other people's love of motorcycling in their part of the world.

So if you want to post it, post it!  Hell, I've submitted photos despite someone completing a challenge faster than me just because I took it and still wanted to share it!

Just don't let this turn into just another gallery, though, the emphasis here IS still the challenges.

I don't know why I can't see your photo as embedded, but since I might not be the only one I went ahead and hosted your photo myself so I could embed it.

Nice challenge!  It's a hard one but a good one!  I don't know if there are any tunnels around me, but I'm surrounded by mountains.  Time to google!


I didn't realise you were a new member, welcome to the forum, and welcome to the best thread on the forum  :cheers:

Yeah I live about an hour from Pisgah national forest where the parkway leads into Asheville and there is an awesome tunnel that gave me the idea lol.

And thanks for the welcome.

And showbiz they came with the bike when I bought it. But I am not a fan of them.  I'm looking at a new set I can clean these up since they are supposed to be clear I have a compound that unyellows plastics and send them to you.

I have been searching google and ebay for the past... wow half hour or so just to see if I could find them... and I only found one place that lists them but they are out of stock.

Will do. Its getting cold around here 50s at night. So I'm about to store the bike and swap the front forks and bars.  It will probably be within the month or so.

As long as the roads are dry, I'll ride down into the 20's. Now I'm not saying long distances, just to work and back or to the store, etc. I get a little worried about the bike starting after sitting outside for hours in temps that low but so far, it's always fired right up after my shift at work <3

Okay so this is delayed but I am glad no one has completed this yet.  I have been scrambling at work to get people from our coastal locations to our location (I work with the elderly kind of) so that's been a challenge. 

Things are calmed down though and I'm warming my bike up as we speak  :woohoo:

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  :D

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  :icon_rolleyes:

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!

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  :icon_eek:  :icon_rolleyes:  :laugh:

Not really but I live at the base of the mountains so we get hit with rain a lot.  The forecast says its going to be clear tomorrow by 11am though so I should be able to ride.  The wall of plants is going to be a rough one.  They did a mass clean up of kudzu and ivy around here recently.

Yeah the horizontal cylinders are a bit strange. I think the orientation leads to a little bit more left-right shaking at idle than most bikes. You can actually see the handlebars and mirrors wobbling when its idling lol.

My dad let me ride it around the neighborhood which was pretty cool. It's a VERY heavy bike. You don't so much "turn" it as you do "wrestle" it around corners. The thing does not like to be anywhere but upright. Nimble, it is not. Likes to get up and go though, lots of power through 2nd and 3rd gears. Felt cool to ride such an uncommon vintage bike.

Yeah, the website has long since lost the ability to upload pics itself.
I'm amazed that 3rd party picture hosting isn't more well known.
I'm even more amazed there isn't a sticky about it since like 50% of all newcomers complain about it.
By the way, if you surround your link with {IMG} and {/IMG} but use [ ] instead of { } it'll embed the photo so we can see it without having to click on your link.


I'll accept that pic, moonlight it is!

Took the GS out for about a half hour to some local roads on my lunch break (the benefit of working from home on occasion). This is right down the road from my house, in the town where I've lived most of my life.

It's funny, that plaque has been there for 13 years, and I'm pretty sure that's the first time I've read it. I didn't read it until after I posted the picture, so I didn't realize that it's continued from the other side. I'll stop and grab a photo of the other side on my way home for anyone who's interested in reading it.  :icon_lol:

I've been meaning to get in on this for a while, but I always forget while I'm out riding. So I've had a while to come up with the church idea lol.

There might be many, many more players if the subject matter didn't have to be in North America...

Several recent quests have been more universal, but seriously, think about WORLDWIDE subjects if you want more participants, after all the bike was made in Japan, Spain, Brazil and is VERY popular in Germany...

Far too often posts on the whole forum are ONLY relevant to Merkins...

Please recognise that other Countries exist...

Many readers would thank you for being more considerate and thinking about other Countries than your own...

Too bad the challenge wasn't for "your GS500 in a million pieces in a repair shop," because I could have had that one today!

Hope to participate once my bike is running ... in a week or so.

I've seen pictures that my brother took of churches while he was in Germany, and their magnificence far surpasses anything we have here in the American Midwest. I think it would be cool to see more worldwide participation.

I didn't realize lots of these things were only in the USA...  :icon_eek:

...surely there is moonlight, ice cream shops, churches, ivy/plant covered walls, tunnels, bosses at your job, rivers/streams, rusty vehicles, swimming pools (I'll stop there but they are all previous and recent challenges) in other countries  :dunno_black:

I'd never ever want to be insensitive to other countries and people in them. If there is anyone out there reading this that feels that way, please know I apologize... I do not believe that the intent of this thread was ever to make anyone feel excluded.

North America is a big place.  I can't think of general things that are here and not elsewhere.  South America, Europe, Asia.  It's all geologically and infrastructurally similar.  Maybe there's differences in wildlife and culture but how often is something that specific challenged?
Your bike in front of a cactus?  Your bike next to an authentic Mexican taco truck?  I get that those would be easy for me but impossible for someone in Germany...  I don't see stuff like that being challenged, though.

Alright so its not a super old church but it is the oldest church in my town sitting at around 100 or so years. Maybe older. 

If I need something older let me know.

Deer hunting Saturday morning, but I'm going to try to get out for a ride sometime this weekend. I realized I've only put 900 miles on my GS since I bought it in February, so I'm trying to squeeze in as much riding as possible before winter hits.

By this time last year my GS500, which I purchased in April, had about 18k added to it...  Live to ride, ride to live!  :2guns:


I'm stuck inside babysitting during the day.  Parents come home near sunset so it's difficult for me to get out of the house while there's still light.  There's a park down the road but it's kind of an uppity neighborhood so I think if I park my bike right by the slide Mrs. Neighborhood Watch is gonna cause issues.

Oh wow.  I got my gs less than a month ago and I already have 1100 miles on it lol.  To be fair though I do ride full time and I go on adventures a lot.  These mountain roads are amazing. 

Fun fact. You can in fact scrape the footpegs on the gs500 with no problems.

I chased and kept up with a guy on a CBR650 with my little GS.  Got by scraping pegs and hanging off.  I'm not the best at hanging off, I probably have improper technique, but I get by.
He would stroll away in the straights, of course, but I'd catch back up with some late braking and really throwing it down in the curves.
With a few minor mods the GS is a better performer than most give it credit for.

Yeah I love this thing.  A guy I ride with has a NC700 and we go up to the mountains and the roads here are so curvy you seriously can't get over 60 or so and we can keep up with guys on R6s unless they are just monsters out there.

Post by: rscottlow on October 14, 2016, 03:14:25 PM
Yeah, so this is my first bike, and it has taken me these first 900 miles to get comfortable. I'd never ridden prior to taking my MSF last fall. And since I bought it in February, I've had to replace the signal generator and resolve countless carb problems. And I'd never worked on a bike prior to purchasing this one. So I've learned a lot this year.

Anyway...

Yeah, don't rush yourself.  Your first few thousand miles are when mistakes will be the most common while you are building muscle control and coordination and getting familiar with riding on the road.  As a result it'll also be a dangerous time for you.  Just take things one step at a time.

I'm certified as an instructor and ride full time.  If you ever want tips on techniques and strategies feel free to message me.
Also, it's encouraged to retake classes if you are able.  The intermediate course is a one day course with a primary focus on range exercises and fundamentals.  If you are having a hard time with any maneuvers on the street it may be worth it.


Your bike next to a HD.  That'll be difficult!   :laugh:

Thanks man, I really appreciate the advice. Now that she's running correctly, I feel a lot better about pushing my limits a little bit at a time. I've dropped it once. In my driveway, grabbed a little bit of front break while hitting gravel. Learned that lesson the hard way. I'm learning a lot, and doing my best to be patient with my progress. Since I haven't had as much time on the bike as I'd like, I'll probably get into one of the intermediate courses next spring. I learned a ton in the beginner course. It's just hard to put miles on the thing when I've got two little ones at home. Can't very well pick them up from daycare on my GS lol.

Hey, cool!  I don't know how far I'll take it.  Mostly got the cam for safety, but it has an external mic so I thought I'd give vlogging a shot, especially because I live in a unique area.
I'll probably continue to upload vids pertaining to the pic challenge, and I might do a tips and tricks vid here and there for riding techniques/strategies.

My cam isn't the best quality and editing on Windows Movie Maker sucks.  Very limited capabilities in both.
If I get decent interest I'll start increasing production value.

Yeah, the website has long since lost the ability to upload pics itself.
I'm amazed that 3rd party picture hosting isn't more well known.
I'm even more amazed there isn't a sticky about it since like 50% of all newcomers complain about it.
By the way, if you surround your link with {IMG} and {/IMG} but use [ ] instead of { } it'll embed the photo so we can see it without having to click on your link.

Someone decided it would be cute to drain the air out of my front tire and while I was pushing it to an air compressor the head unsealed on the tire. 

Took the front tire off and getting it resealed today.  Just need to do a chain adjustment and oil change and ill be ready to ride again.

Next challenge: Your bike with some sort of holiday decorations. ANY holiday. Can be your decorations, your neighbors, a strangers or ever a business/store setup. Doesn't have to be strung up, could even be advertisement or a Christmas tree yard.

Anyway, shame my city hasn't put up winter decorations yet, or I would have knocked the current challenge out over lunch. Maybe I'll see some yard decorations on the way home and can pull over and be an enormous creeper by taking a picture of my bike in a random stranger's yard.

The next challenge is your bike next to/near something(s) new you have for it that you haven't gotten a chance to install/swap/modify to fit etc. This challenge is inspired by the 'Busa fender I have sitting at home waiting to be modified to fit my GS. Can be a new battery, different seat, new tires... you get the idea.

Put the liner in my jacket and set off in search for turkeys...they must've all been in hiding this morning, so this was the best I could do. Wild Turkey and a ceramic turkey table topper. No points, but some comic relief nonetheless.

Haha I was hoping to get a chuckle or two. Usually I can spot some turkeys in the cornfields this time of year, but no luck this morning...

I'm guessing the challenge is still the turkey one? There used to be a whole bunch (like 20 or 30) that would show up in my parents' back yard... but that doesn't normally happen until January sometime...  :icon_sad:

Post by: mr72 on November 29, 2016, 03:00:45 PM
I suspect if the "live turkey" challenge is still active, and the "wild turkey" shot didn't suffice, then we're going to be here a while.

I mean, how often do you park your motorcycle somewhere where a live (wild, presumably) turkey is going to be, and then happen to go back to get it when the turkey is there? Because I guarantee you riding up near any wild turkey is going to scare it off long before you can get parked and take a picture.

I'd suggest the "wild turkey" gets the job done and we need a new challenge. :) Just my $0.02 ... my bike works now so I can play.

Haha live turkey could be an option for me, as there's quite a few farms close to where I live. I'd have a hard time snapping a photo of my bike with a live wild turkey, because like you said it'll be hard to get one close enough to the bike to get a photo. There used to be a farm up the road that always had turkeys in a fenced area close to the road, but it's not there anymore. I have a place or two I might check on my lunch break tomorrow. Otherwise, if we're counting my other photo, let me know and I'll come up with another challenge.

Nice pic, but what we've got going on here is a challenge game.  It's not really a photo album thread.

Current challenge is your bike with a live turkey nearby.  But seeing as how late in the season it's getting I think we'll end up just going with rscottlow's photo, or this thread will go into hibernation...

Welcome to the forum, by the way  :cheers:

Hupjai? Your call.  :dunno_black:

If we're counting it, next challenge will be your bike next to/in front of/under a covered bridge.
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: mr72 on November 30, 2016, 09:54:12 AM
Well, I think that means I am going to have to take another pass, considering:

https://www.coveredbridgemap.com/tx/

Yes... there is only one pin on that map. And it's nearly to Louisiana. Pretty sure I'm not going to do a 5-6 hour ride each way to go snap a pic.

This list shows a few more, some are only a few counties away:
http://www.dalejtravis.com/cblist/cbtx.htm

Many of those are inside parks like Fiesta Texas or Aquarena Springs, purely ornamental pedestrian outdoor furniture.

Still, a few counties in Texas is like small countries in Europe or New England states! So I think I'll have to wait for the next challenge.

One of these days!

Sorry Josh! Check out SW Ohio/SE Indiana on that map (where I typically ride) and you'll see why I thought this would be a relatively easy challenge...I didn't realize these things weren't found all over the place! They're a cool piece of architecture, that I enjoy seeing on my rides. My wife's late grandmother used to take her father-in-law (my wife's great-grandfather) out on drives once a week to go look at covered bridges. Also, the grandparents of a kid I went to high school with were the owners of this restaurant...it's about 4 hours north, so I've never been there, but he always raved about it. http://www.coveredbridgepizzaparlor.com/

Post by: rscottlow on November 30, 2016, 02:35:24 PM
Man, I feel like a real dummy. Covered bridges are everywhere out here. I usually see two or three of them on most rides. I didn't realize they weren't so prevalent everywhere else. I'll expand the challenge if nobody is able to get a photo with a covered bridge.

Haha. well maybe I'll post up "your bike with a long-horn steer in the background", since those are everywhere around here :)

Or, "your bike, parked between two 4wd crew cab pickup trucks", which is many times a day.

Anyway, local flavors. :) We just don't really have those funky covered bridges here in the "west".

But, have fun. I'll wait for the next challenge.

Post by: Watcher on November 30, 2016, 03:09:34 PM
I looked up AZ and it seems all the covered bridges are all pedestrian walkways or on golf-courses.


There's a cool Rattlesnake colored/shaped pedestrian bridge I might be able to park nearby.  You walk in his mouth and come out his ass on the other side of a 6 lane highway.  IIRC it's near downtown Tucson.
If you'll accept that I could nab it in the next day or two.

Truth be told my solid textile is still packed away from the move and I haven't felt like digging it out.
Plus I don't like the crappy C3 rated armor in my solid, I much prefer the D3O in my mesh, so then I gotta switch all the pads over and I remember fit being weird so I gotta play with it...

Just an inevitable headache I have to deal with sooner or later.

It's been unseasonably warm in Ohio. We had temps in the 60's yesterday, which is practically unheard of for late November. Usually we've had at least one accumulating snowfall by now. It looks like late next week temps are going to dip, and we might get some snow. I've already got my liner back in my jacket though, and have been riding anytime I get the chance with daytime temps above 50. I can't ride in the 20's though...last time I tried that I was sick for the next three days...oh the joys of having little ones bringing home germs from daycare!

LMAO Sounds like you need 2 more bikes!

Here I am complaining about riding home at night after studying in...48 degrees. Boohoo.  :icon_lol:
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: Watcher on December 01, 2016, 07:23:54 PM
Well, it doesn't get all that cold here compared to what I came from, but we still see 70s during the day and it drops to like 30s-40s at night.

One issue with that is you have to dress accordingly and it's hard to pack a whole separate textile when travelling by bike, but the major challenge is since it never stays that cold you can never acclimate to it.
So when it gets cold its not like it's a little bit colder, it gets freaking COLD!
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: ShowBizWolf on December 01, 2016, 07:38:16 PM
I couldn't agree with you more on that one. There's a time of year around here where it does get into the 60's and 70's in the afternoon when I leave for work... but then it's in the 30's when I go home at midnight.

For a normal person, it would be a real pain in the butt, I know!!

For me tho, I'm always cold unless I'm wearing lots of layers... OR unless it's like 80+ degrees... so when I leave for work and it's 70 out, I have all my layers on that are necessary to keep me warm on the way home later.

I'm gonna have a chilly ride home in about 3 hours, the weather right now is saying 35 degrees with a real feel of 25. Might see some snowflakes too... to go along with the Christmas lights!!

OK, I didn't want to choose as I cacked it up last time. But how about this, your bike parked with two or more other bikes that are the same colour. No extra colours except for neutrals like white silver or black. Also bikes cannot be the same model as yours. Bikes have to be next to each other or bunched up, so no long rows of bikes.

Surely that cannot be too difficult. Unless you have a purple bike, so this is not a challenge for extroverts ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As much as I want to do this so the game can keep going, I'm afraid I'll be out of this one too. Out of my friends that have bikes, there's maroon, orange, red, another maroon and a yellow. Even if I could get them to come out in the cold (which they won't lol) they aren't the same color as my GS. Not even a blue one so I could say hey it matches my nose fairing lol!!!

Was thinking about riding up onto the sidewalk next to the local Harley dealer's overflow showroom with the big windows... maybe there would be a few black ones by the glass but they are all in a line so that doesn't count either.

Welp, that probably rules me out! I'll look for an inflatable on someone's lawn that they haven't yet taken down after Christmas... but tomorrow the high is forecast at 82!! It's 76 out right now. I think snow ain't gonna happen in CenTX this year.

I rescind "non-gendered snow-person" and change it to "cardboard box robot".  Let's see some A.W.E.S.O.M. - O - 4000s!

Did you ever get this one jezza? We had great weather here over the weekend, but I wasn't feeling so well and I didn't get out and ride. Now that it's cold again, I regret not toughing it out. Looks like more cold weather and rain/snow for the foreseeable future.

Had the perfect snowman setup at the local hospital, but it's been taken down. Luckily I was bored and made a cardboard duder for this one.

My bike (in the garage.... *cry*) with a small part of my SF Giants baseball memorabilia collection:

THANK YOU for choosing something we could all do..can't believe no one else beat me to this! If this is found pleasing, then the next challenge to include all is bike with lunch on it. This can be someone out on a ride.....or your lunch served up on your bike in your garage. LOL Can you tell I'm hungry? :P

I opened up my garage to do this one, and got a phonecall for work, so I had to come back inside and get some stuff done. I'm glad you posted though, because I'm going out riding with my brother on Saturday. If nobody gets it before then, I'll post a lunchtime photo.

So I now realize that this challenge was a picture of you wearing something matching the color of the bike... When I took my pic I was thinking it was just your bike with some matching gear...

Well... here's a picture of my helmet on my bike. I posit that it should count since you technically can see me wearing my blue/white jacket in my visor reflection lol.

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi63.tinypic.com%2F157ofnm.jpg&hash=3bed052e9187207d8eb8f02bfa231d960f8adadf)

If this counts, the next challenge will be a pic of your bike in front of a fire station!
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: Watcher on March 29, 2017, 10:28:58 AM
I say you technically CAN'T see you wearing your "blue/white" jacket in the reflection since the lens makes EVERYTHING blue.
What, we're supposed to just go by your word that you're wearing something that's actually blue?  I don't think so.  The proof of the pudding is in the eating, unless I see you in your gear through an unfiltered lens there's no way in hell I'm accepting that photo...





...  In all seriousness, let's get this game rolling.  ACCEPTED :cheers:

Firestation should be easy enough.  I say bonus points with an engine and +1 man score if you ask them to light it up for you.
(Ladies, +1 man score shouldn't be taken to mean you're any less of a woman, lol)

Here is my firestation picture... Turned into an adventure really. First firestation the firemen were all outside spraying down the sidewalks/road getting grime and stuff off their driveway, must be spring cleaning? So I couldn't stop there, the next one doesn't have a great access point except for the trucks, so I parked across the street. Then after snapping my pic, I went for my first real cruise of the season, was out in the country when it started bogging down and then it died. I eventually got it fired again, limped back into town, it died again. Got it started again, got another mile closer to home, died again. At that point, I called my boss and had him come assist, decided to try 1 more time, he followed, got even closer to home before it died, this time about a mile from home. Was scratching my head, then put her on prime, and was able to get home with him following. So something must be stuck in my carbs or fuel system somewhere, on prime it was quite happy. Either way, glad shes home where I can work on her and hopefully get it ready for the reason. Hope my firestation picture counts, it was one heck of a ride just for this picture.

Your motorcycle in front of a bicycle shop/store front.

NEXT CHALLENGE:
Your motorcycle in front of a bicycle shop/store front.

Your image is accepted, of course.

Stories like this are, at least I think, what this game is all about: getting us out riding. I'm sorry to hear you're having issues (sounds like a failing petcock or clogged fuel line to me) but I am glad that you got out riding and had an adventure lol.

Next time I'll be able to ride is Sunday, so we'll see if anyone gets your challenge before I can lol.

Very much so, that's why garage pictures are discouraged and why we love so many of those "out there" type challenges.  Like a one-lane bridge or something.  You have to scour Google/Maps and go somewhere you've never been before!  At the very least, if it's a hot spot you get to share part of your world with the rest of us.

digging it. I was super pumped to be able to get a picture done. I've been following this thread on and off since last summer and never was able to get a pic in time.

Also, bike is running great now. Turns out gas was just low. I opened my tank when I was having problems and it appeared I had plenty of gas in there, but apparently it didn't. Odd since I should have had at least a half a tank since this was the tank I stored it on all winter, but I forgot some leaked unexpectedly right after storage, and I put maybe 50 miles on it, so I just assumed I had plenty. Guess not. Lesson learned, again, LOL. I hate having a bike with no gas gauge or gas light, HATE it. Anyway, limped it down the street later this afternoon, grabbed some seafoam, then rode it another quarter mile to the gas station, threw a little seafoam and a full tank and was able to crank on it for a good 30 miles with no issue. Note to self, use reserve setting when this happens next time. Looking forward to another riding season! Cheers all, thanks for the adventure guys/gals.

I can't wait to get back in this game either. Glad ya finally got a pic in time Torstein! I still love your bike... that yellow... 8)

I remember the first time I realized how tricky the tank likes to be... I had just bought the bike and had no clue as to how to fix anything on it... total noob. It kept dying (and the tank was full, that wasn't the problem at first)... and I took it to one of the only motorcycle shops in my town. They kept my bike for like 2 weeks and all they said it needed was a new frame petcock. I was excited to get my bike back and continue learning how to ride. Then the same crap started happening again... kept shutting off on me. I was on the side of the highway, frustrated, cold, embarassed etc... I pushed the bike over onto the grassy hillside and said I'm so done with this crap. My dad came with the truck and we got it home... turns out I was indeed outta gas that time.

Fun thing everyone should practice and get to know how to do is reach down behind your knee while riding and flip to reserve when the bike starts cutting out. Then remember that one of the next stops is to fuel up.

Or at least get to know mileage and be sure to reset the trip every fuel stop.  That's what I would do as I usually would bypass the petcock.

Your bike by a boulder or other large stone.  If you aren't sure if it's large enough, imagine if it would take more than 2 people to lift, or a piece of machinery.

Here you go! Surely not the landscape you were looking for, but I spotted these out by my work's maintenance building next to the motorcycle parking. They're definitely big enough to meet your guidelines though. Next challenge: your bike in front of a gym.

Haha, if you can get your GS in front of your home gym (maybe through a window with the equipment in the background) I'd count that. It doesn't have to be YOUR gym though. You could photograph your bike in front of any gym.

Next challenge: picture of your bike with some kind of interesting (preferably large) machine in the background. Was originally thinking about stuff like cranes or backhoes but it can be anything anything that can be classified as an "interesting" machine. Regular cars/trucks are machines but probably will not count unless they have some kind of obvious trait that makes them cool or weird in some way.

It's got some gigantic drill-like thing, looks like they are using it to make a hole that's like 30 feet deep and a couple of feet in diameter.

I was about to take off on it the other day and there was a cable guy working across the street and he said, "you can't beat the classics!", mentioned that he thought the bike looked great and he appreciated the classic look. I tend to agree. :)

2. What was the interesting machinery that was used?

Upload the picture to a different site, like photobucket or imgur or something, then post the link to the image like this:

Hey guys, not sure if this counts as a large field of wildflowers... Thought i'd post it anyway and see what you guys think. This was the first time I've gotten to really ride since the winter, all other times I've been trying to diagnose fueling problems which I finally figured out (thanks to you guys!!) so I'm ecstatic and wanted to share it :)

I was looking for more of a field, but this was the highest quantity of blooms I could find. Not sure what kind of trees they are, but they are more purple in person...

Anyway if that works then next category is Take a picture of your bike overlooking a city skyline Bonus points if you can see a sunrise or sunset as well.

But downtown Tucson and it's 3 buildings should work.   :laugh:

I vote yes, unless someone can get a city skyline before Lluraden replies. Most of the time when I go downtown it's to go watch the Reds with my friends or family, so I'm not riding the bike. Downtown Cincinnati has a great skyline, but I stay away from the city unless I have a good reason for being there.

I have two friends that ride... but not very often at all. One works opposite shift than me and the other one I don't see him very much at all (and he also works daylight, but not at my job).

And even though the weather has been slowly getting nice here, I haven't seen that many bikes out yet :icon_sad:

Ok so after I left work, I went for a short ride. The picture game popped into my mind and I thought maybe there'd be at least one bike at Quaker Steak. It IS one of my favorite places to eat even though I haven't been there for over a year :cry: I'm longing for some triple atomic wings!!! Anyway, I got this picture and I know it sucks but there is another bike in it. I was too nervous to park closer to it cuz I get really nervous around people sometimes.

My brother rides, but we usually only go out to lunch together on Saturday when I have the whole family with me. I also have a couple of old friends from high school who ride, but we don't see each other often.

I love that place, but...Triple Atomic?!?! I only made that mistake once. My wife and I went to Quaker Steak with our late friend Aaron and we ordered all-you-can-eat wings. We had our fill (along with a lube tube), and decided that we were "man enough" for a little more heat. We were wrong! Before the heat had a chance to set in, I scarfed down an entire drum and immediately started pouring sweat. Aaron took a little nibble off of his, and was in a similar condition. The bartender proceeded to bring us glasses of milk and fruit punch, insisting that alternating between the two would help. She was wrong too. Never again, but more power to anyone that can tolerate that type of heat.

So...what's the next challenge? Please don't say the Triple Atomic Wing Challenge  :D
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: ShowBizWolf on June 09, 2017, 10:29:07 AM
Hahaha that would be a good challenge!! Yeah idk how I do it but I absolutely love all spicy stuff. I've eaten the Triple Atomic wings at least 6 times if not more. And the one day my parents and I were there for my birthday and it was all you can eat as well... I ate 13 and then finally was like ok I can't feel my face anymore haha... my mom bought me some ice cream and it helped :D

The last time I went, the waitress told me there was a new rule or something, and it didn't matter if you already ate the Atomic ones in the past, I'd have to do it again before I got an order of the Triples... so I did... I was thinking in my head, "But I really don't like the flavor of the regular atomics and can't you just go back in the files and see I've filled out the waiver like a million times already?" But I don't fuss or argue when I'm out places so I just ordered 5 Atomic and then got my 6 Triples. And a salad and some beer :cheers:

OK anyway, since it does look like even my crummy picture is accepted, the new challenge is your bike parked at a hardware store but NOT a chain store like Home Depot or Lowe's... I'm thinking more like a hometown/mom n pop kind of place.
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: rscottlow on June 09, 2017, 10:45:42 AM
Wow. I'm impressed lol. I honestly don't know how anyone can eat those.

There's a Do It Best right up the street from my work that I'll pass on the way home. I'll try and remember to stop! Do It Best is a chain, but it's also not a "big box store." I'm pretty sure they're all locally owned franchises. I know this one is, at least...the same guy has run the place my entire life. Does that count?

I saw a 'busa on the weekend. I was parked near an intersection and the busa came through and turned right. Once he got on the straight - massive power wheelie and he cancelled the indicator in the air. Looked sweet!

Okay gotcha :thumb: Yeah the current picture challenge is your bike at your favorite place to ride to. You should make a project/build thread to show off what you've done with your GS!!! (If you haven't already :thumb: ) OR there's another thread that is just for our favorite pics of our bikes :icon_mrgreen:

Somebody might get the impression that we love pictures here on GSTwin :icon_rolleyes: :-*  :laugh:

Here.  It's my work, so I didn't feel like it was really fair, but the mountain is under heavy rain and heavy fire so I couldn't make it to the top to get a picture of my bike up there.  That being said, I've already got a reputation of coming in on my days off to shop or just hang out.  So I'd say it's a favorite place of mine.

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimagizer.imageshack.us%2Fv2%2F800x600q90%2F924%2F2Xs9Y4.jpg&hash=8c2d2dcb3f9666c629cb8b63ca025b1ce9121d03) (https://imageshack.com/i/po2Xs9Y4j)

It has been a few days since Watcher last replied to J_Walker but I remembered to take a photo today if Watcher thinks it passes as it is actually washing my bike:

(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimagizer.imageshack.us%2Fv2%2Fxq90%2F922%2FqusPTh.jpg&hash=6e5f2346115458673802d4e427c5ad9c8c57cf86)

Made sure to actually get some suds on there as well.

If people deem this passes, next challenge is something HIGH VIS with your bike. I've seen other bikes with fluro wheels etc could even be a high vis jacket you wear on your bike etc. Pic can be taken anywhere / with anything but no bright colours - has to be in your face safety protection type colouring (doesn't have to be safety colouring but something high visibility).

Presuming this passes muster, in honor of me writing this from the comfort of my own home pub, I'll say a selfie of you & your bike (or part of it) in front of a pub. English, Irish, Scottish, doesn't matter. But has to be a pub, not just a random bar, not a saloon, not a tavern, not a "brewpub" (hipster food joint with their own brand of beer) or a "gastropub" or that kind of thing... but a good old fashioned regular British or Irish pub.

Yep!

I know everyone likes to rag on Cycle Gear and especially look down on their house brand stuff but I really like this helmet, also have Sedici gloves (which I like a lot) and I really, really like my Bilt "Cafe" jacket.

The Strada is an ECE rated kevlar full face helmet with decent airflow, lightweight, comfortable, etc. at 1/3-1/2 the price of an equivalent helmet from another vendor. What's not to like? My wife insisted on the hi-viz color along with top of the line safety features, and I tried on all the helmets that qualified. The Sedici fit the best and was the most comfortable. The price was a bonus.

Post by: qcbaker on August 22, 2017, 11:06:29 AM
The only problem I've had with cyclegear's house brand stuff is the Sedici Ultimo gloves I have. I have the Small size, and the thumbs are still too long. Oddly, the Bilt gloves I had previously did not have that problem. I had the medium size of those, and they fit perfectly. :dunno_black:

And I LOVE my Bilt Max Speed jacket. I put a proper spine protector in it and it's been awesome so far.

Thanks for the picture. Unfortunately, there is not a real pub anywhere close to east Tennessee. I do not know how Cycle Gear got into this discussion, but I am not a brand-name snob. I like the mesh jacket, helmet, summer gloves, etc. that I have bought at Cycle Gear. In fact, I just ordered a pair of boots yesterday.

Watcher ID'd my Sedici Strada helmet in the pic. I think he works there. I brought up Cycle Gear.

BTW I did have some Bilt gloves that not only didn't fit correctly but also started falling apart. CG took them back and credited me towards the Sedici gloves I have now. So their customer service is good too :)

I ordered Pole Position boots yesterday, and they arrived today--with no special postage. The boots are a little tight, but I have been assured by others that they will stretch into shape. I have engineer boots for the cool weather, but the Pole Position boots are light and ventilated. BTW, has anyone on the forum ever worn lace-up shoes or boots and have the string catch on the shift lever or brake lever? People will laugh when you topple over at a stop light. Also, I have a Bilt helmet that is the same color yellow--I use a very dark face shield, good contrast and nice in the bright sun.

Yes to lace boots, no to string catching.
But then I use non-traditional lacing methods to take up slack and finish with a double-knot so it won't come undone.

'tis a proper pub pub too - the type that's closing down at the rate of 21 a week currently, open fire, proper real ales and a great little garden out the back for the kiddies and dogs to cause havoc in  :laugh: Tonight there's a duo playing decent rock covers as well so should be a bit of a grin  :cool:

So in the spirit of International Inclusiveness rather than narrow minded exclusivity :wink: the next challenge is directly related to the last:

A foaming tankard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankard) of ale perched upon the perfectly suited tank top of your GS (or whatever). A tankard (or beer stein) is basically a vessel with a handle for consuming beer to make it easier to hold on to later in the evening when things get blurry :D
Quadruple bonus points if there happens to be a gorgeous barmaid (or barman if that's your thang) also in the pic.

Quite a hot mess of things.  Italian bike, German "tankard" (Warsteiner), Irish Ale (Killian's Red).  Eh, not typically my drink of choice but I'm a little short of "good" beers and even shorter of beers "worthy" of the glass tankard.  But I was feeling a beer so I suppose I'll move this along.

No bonus points, this is all at home...

Let's hope not! This one was a quick stop for fear of getting run over. I thought for sure the pull off was a little more easily accessible. So anyway, excuse the bit of glove in the corner of the photo.

Thanks! It's an '09...I really like the black/grey/red color scheme. I was actually in the market for one of the earlier models (I think '05ish) with similar colors, but came across a good deal on this one and couldn't pass it up. It's all stock except for the red bits and LED turn signals that the PO installed (assumingly after he crashed it).

I was hoping to get a photo with the electric company's logo and the substation sign visible, but it's located on an intersection where there's a quick little blind hill leading up to a stop sign. Stopping where I did was dicey enough lol.

Next, your bike at a curvy-road sign!

Oh snap! A curvey road sign! I think I know where one of those is. You guys will never find one of those. I'm gonna win this one :woohoo:
You know what's funny? Look at this emoji dude going woo woo :woohoo: then look at my profile pic.

the thing that will make the twisty-road-sign difficult around here is that wherever these signs are, there is virtually no place to pull over. Maybe I'll stick my action cam to my rack and grab a frame with a twisty road sign in the background.

@SBW, that's the spirit!

Of course you need to issue a new challenge.


I'm still laughing at it. Which reminds me of a joke I heard yesterday that had me clutching my stomach in pain as I could not stop laughing...

Heisenberg, Gödel, and Chomsky walk into a bar...

Heisenberg says, 'Since there are three of us and we are walking in to a bar, this must be a joke. However the question remains; is it funny or not.'

Gödel says 'Since we are inside the joke it is not possible for us to tell, we would need to be outside the joke in order to determine if it was funny or not.'

Chomsky says 'Of course it's funny!, you're just not telling it right.

I think he just meant that this thread is the picture game. This thread is just for pictures that meet the rules of the current "challenge". If you want to show your bike being fixed or modded, you can post one-off repair/mod pics in the "What have you done for your bike today?" thread, or if it's a work in progress or will have many mods, maybe make a thread in the projects/builds section.

Post by: mr72 on August 16, 2018, 10:36:05 AM
There's a GS500 parked for years without being moved in the next suburban town over from me, so I guess I could ride up onto the homeowner's lawn, park my bike by that one, and take the picture. That's not weird at all.

Slightly less weird, there's a moving company and storage place just about a mile and a half from my house, and there's an employee who seems to ride a GS500 to work there and parks it in the lot frequently. But this is the employees' lot so it may be tough for me to get my bike in there, and again it's awfully odd to just roll up, park, take a picture, then leave.

However making it make/make challenge is a bit easier. A coworker has a new SV650 so it's possible I will go to the office one day and find his bike parked there. We'll see. Otherwise my dad has a DR200 so I can go over to his house and make this picture easy enough.

Well now. That's where 90% of my motorcycle trips are. But it's raining constantly here for the next week, so maybe I'll miss out.

I do that every week but I never remember the picture. To be honest, I think that picture I posted before with the Grom would have worked for the last two challenges as that building behind is both a shop and a plate glass building (well, the front of it is anyway).

Grocery store should be easy enough.

If that gets it done, then let's do the iron butt edition.

Your bike at some place you pick that's at least 200 miles from your home, and you rode it there.

Damn, I had to go to Phoenix last week and that was only about 100 miles out, still a long ride.

Don't think anyone will be getting this one any time soon.  Can we adjust it?
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: mr72 on September 27, 2018, 01:03:57 PM
seems like it took two weeks for someone to get to the grocery store :) Let's see if we have any long-range tourers with a photo, if it gets long, I'll lower the requirement.

BTW I'm doing a trip to a rally & show in less than a month that's about 100 miles from my house. Certainly someone has a bigger ride than that planned soon.

You picked a bad time I think. Most people this time of year are either garaging it or just making necessary trips I would imagine. I'm in the second category - if I do go for a 'pleasure cruise' I'm unlikely to go more than 40 miles away. Even when I visit family, that's only 80 miles away.

Yeah I figured an Aussie on this list would not see this as the motorcycling off-season. And for those of us in some of the most populous states in the USA, this really is peak riding season... CA, TX, FL .. Man, if I was in Florida I'd go ride all the way to Key West and take a picture to win this for myself. And in TX you have to go 100+ miles to go anywhere at all.
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: Nudie on November 02, 2018, 12:38:34 PM
Yes it's riding season all year round here. Though at times we have the opposite problem to you guys, sometimes it's too bloody hot to get out! Mostly it's just a matter of wearing the gear appropriate to the temperature.
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: mr72 on November 02, 2018, 01:40:35 PM
Yeah from June thru about mid-August it's too hot to ride here too. And there'll be three or four days a year where it's too cold. That leaves about 9.5 months of prime riding season.

There are a bunch of those Christmas inflatable decorations in my neighborhood, problem is they are not pumped up until after dark, and I am generally not on my bike at that time.

I'm a little salty because there are inflatables near my house, and the weather today has been really nice. But it was soaking wet this morning so I didn't take my bike in, and now I'm stuck at work and by the time I get home, it'll probably be too cold and dark for it to be worth it. Sigh...

well, I would consider it today except it's going to be raining and thunderstorming all day so I won't be out riding. That, and in my neighborhood, nobody turns on their outdoor Christmas decorations after Christmas. In fact, my wife will have us tearing down the Christmas tree and interior decorations today, but I'll get a pass until the rain clears to take apart the outside decorations.

Even though it's a tad late, I should be able to get the New Years one when I go home from work later tonight.

EDIT: Got it! Not the greatest but I figure 2019 on the calendar, a glittery banner (cleverly edited because it's a birthday banner LOL) and two champagne glasses (that I did just use on New Years this year) would do alright :cheers:

Your next challenge (if accepted) is to show your bike (quintuple points if a GS500) absolutely filthy, I mean covered in mud/sand/dust/whatever... - just because you ride in all weathers and conditions and are'nt just a sunny day bod.
You'll get a quadrillion extra points if you show pics of before and after it's clean 'n' gleaming!

Meta-advice for people who like to give advice on forums that use vBulletin:

If you're trying to teach people how to use IMG tags, encase the part where you're explaining tags in CODE tags. That way, you can write the IMG tags out without worrying that they'll screw up your post.

Like this:


Image URLs need to be encased in [IMG] tags and should look like this:

How's that?

Next challenge:

A view that you ride to regularly, where the view is the destination.

Like, not just some vista that's on the way to where you go, but a place you have ridden to often just so you can take in the view.

Well, I went out at 9:00 this morning and it was kind of nice, it was 79 when I left the house and 83 when I got home after a 50 minute ride. The new perforated jacket was pretty awesome in this weather.

It'll be 103-105 high today. And that's horrible!

Houston is probably nearly as bad, but more humid, guessing.

Still having that weird issue where I can't see mr72s pictures most of the time.

Do you have a link to your album?

Edit:  I found it!  Bookmarked that shiz, so next time I can just navigate straight there to go "ah, yes, quite!"
You should consider adding a link to your album in your signature, unless you want to keep it more private than that.

Here's the image again in case anyone is also like me and has internet with selective vision.  It's definitely a different URL than what he posted, though.  Is anyone a web geek that can help us diagnose?

Also, riding to a destination vista is a great idea!  I have an exact one I go to just to take pics of my bike, and with the new exhaust on there I have the perfect excuse to grab a new photo.
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: Watcher on August 14, 2019, 12:51:50 PM
Don't mind if I complete this one twice.

First is my personal destination, called Thimble Peak Vista.  This is a favorite spot of mine to take pics of my bike for desktop backgrounds or whatever.
Since mr72 completed my challenge with a selfie I couldn't resist doing the same.

(https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/800x600q90/923/O8JE2k.jpg) (https://imageshack.com/i/pnO8JE2kj)

Not sure why but it looks blurry to me when I view this thread.  If you notice the same thing, click on the photo and it'll bring you to my album, there it's crystal clear.

Of course, here is the view of the named "Thimble Peak"

(https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/800x600q90/922/QYIqL8.jpg) (https://imageshack.com/i/pmQYIqL8j)


And the second is a really common destination for rides.  Typically if someone says "lets ride the mountain" they really mean "lets ride to Windy Point Vista."
Of course, can't help but stop and take in the view before heading back down.

(https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/800x600q90/924/LADjfb.jpg) (https://imageshack.com/i/poLADjfbj)

Here's a shot of the terrain.  That last little corner of the road you see down there at about the center of the photo is Thimble Peak Vista :P

(https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/800x600q90/921/9MM75h.jpg) (https://imageshack.com/i/pl9MM75hj)


For my challenge, lets see somewhere you have only gone by bike.
It could be a Burger King, if you've only been there on your motorcycle before.  Have you also gone there by car?  By bicycle?  On foot?  Doesn't count!

that's because there are no hills in Houston.

<ducking!>

I guess I didn't consider that there might be a couple of specific addresses I have only stopped at on my motorcycle. But I'll wait for someone else to answer the challenge. And I seriously don't want to ride now. It's 104.

Was a high of 109° here.  I was hoping to get out a little earlier for my pics but I got caught up with some emails.  At 10am when I left the house it was already in the 90s.
It was only in the 80s at Windy Point, though.  The town at the peak is called "Summer Haven" for good reason, highs in the 70s.
I was wanting to go all the way up today but the extra hour round trip would mean I'd be back in town in the afternoon, and it was gonna be hot!

Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: Bluesmudge on September 10, 2019, 09:40:35 AM
OK, assuming its either/or: here is somewhere I have only been by bike!

The Maryhill Loops road, built in 1911, was the first asphalt road in Oregon and was built to show how great roads could be. It is now privately owned and rented out to groups.
I got to ride this road for the first time recently during a cornering technique clinic as part of the 2019 Rally in the Gorge. The clinic had radio-controlled one-way traffic, so ignore the fact that I am crossing the center line.

Near a steep hill is fine.

My driveway is a very steep hill. No way I would ever attempt to park a motorcycle on it but I always park near it :) I've seen a lot of motorcycles parked on hills, not sure I trust my transmission and side stand that much.

I did a short ride yesterday, weather was nice, high in the low 90s for a change, but I had to get back home and get some work done. Today I went out for a much longer ride, again nice weather, right around 88-91F the whole time, sunny, not a lot of wind. Quite nice. It's officially fall, and fall in TX is glorious. We're not there yet, but getting close.

I did try to get that picture. Problem is the basketball court I was hoping to get in the background was on my route in Bertram TX at what is a historic, in-use school. But it was recess when I went by there, figured someone would call the Bertram PD if they saw some weirdo parking close to the playground full of kids and taking pictures.

So maybe the next challenge.

Given that my pic was about coal, here's the Challenge:
An Environmentally Contextual pic with your bike -
so frinstance maybe an Aussie could show the bike with a backdrop of the awful bushfires (obv not WHILE burning but aftereffects?) or some of those huge hailstones? Maybe a river that's flooded its banks unusually or unexpected snowfalls? Maybe a shot of a huge landfill or piles of plastic waste on the beach in the background. If any of that isn't poss then your bike by the recycling centre showing some of the perfectly good stuff that just gets wasted unthinkingly...
Good luck folks...

"An Environmentally Contextual pic with your bike - "

This is as best I got.  Houston population is steadily increasing and builders are building warehouses nonstop.  This is a smaller one.  This was all wooded area.  It's sad to see constant deforesting of the little we have here.  It's sad to see these mega warehouses being built and they sit empty for months/years.  Anyways, I can go on but Houston is becoming the city of warehouses,...

I'll brave the sweat and go get a pic if there's something interesting (not jamba juice... they closed all of those in my area anyway). So Watcher, come on, get this game going. I'll even ride the GS somewhere. It needs a test ride anyway, and I took both bikes out of the garage and parked them on the curb where they sit beckoning me to go ride.

yeah once I can get the boots on I will be able to ride. Should be late this afternoon. Forecast says only 101 by then.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna pass today. Maybe tomorrow morning early. 106F this afternoon and I still can't get my feet wet until Friday. I think I'll avoid sweating in my shoes for another couple of days.

Sorry for the poor quality.  Lighting was bad and apparently I have to clean the lens on my helmet-cam.  I did find some place a little more in line with "juice bar," though.

As for the new challenge, lets get a pic of your bike at a water tower.

deja vu, Watcher?

http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php/topic,45412.msg878687.html#msg878687

But anyway, I did get out and ride my GS today, and it was glorious. I went really early so it wouldn't be hot, and had only planned on riding maybe 15 minutes but wound up going nearly an hour.

And I got this pic:

If that works, then the next challenge will be ...  in the spirit of hot weather in the northern hemisphere ...

Let's have a natural fresh water swimming area. I know a lot of them are closed around here, but maybe you can find one open enough to park and take a picture.

Huh, that challenge does seem to crop up fairly often, eh?

Fresh water swimming area?  Never heard of a water park referred in that way.

Oh!  Maybe that was just me assuming.

I saw the word "closed" and was like "nature doesn't close.  Does he mean a water park?"

But I guess it would make sense many public areas being shut down, even "forest preserve" type areas.

in TX most places like this, if they are a public park like state or county, or access is controlled via public park like on rivers, they are all closed. Oddly enough many neighborhood pools are open. Like it's safer for 100 people to pack into the neighborhood pool than to go swim in the lake or float down the river in a tube.

Alright folks, I don't want to have to win my own challenge, so I'm giving you all a couple more days before I post my own pic and give you another (which also ain't gonna be a walk in the park picture.  I thought these were supposed to be challenges!).

Here's my current challenge, which I posted after showing my GS on the train tracks:

Your GS with a jet airplane.

I got nothing to offer but excuses,...  There's a little airport not too far but I dunno if there'd be any jets.  IAH isn't thaaaat far out either but not sure what'd be there and military jets, got me :dunno_black:. Hopefully somebody can get it!

I just woke up not long ago. Scrolling through the GS500 fb group and having my coffee... and there's someone who posted a nice pic of their GS with a jet airplane 8)

I asked if they were by chance playing the Picture Game... and they said thank you for the invite but they don't speak much English (they are from Hungary)... but could I post the link to the pic here. I said sure! It's a neat pic IMO.

I did reply back and ask what they would like the new challenge to be, if this is OK to be submitted. Not sure if it's ever been asked if a non-English speaking non-forum member could complete one of the challenges... but I figured it was worth a shot!

Would be nice to keep the game going, as always :)

MiG 21!  Nice.   Glad to see someone else had it covered, even if by proxy.  :)

Here's my picture I was gonna hafta win my own request with:

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50309744018_2b98ab5d65_b.jpg)

While this beast was nominally a fighter, it was really used more as a bomber.  They had to be protected by F-4 Phantoms when flying in Vietnam or the MiG-21 pictured above would eat them for lunch.  Even its name was lame.  Real fighters are Mustangs and Hornets are Banshees.  This is the F-111 Aardvark.

Showbiz, if the FB contact never got back to you with a new picture suggestion, go ahead and suggest something yourself. 
Title: Re: -- GS500 picture game --
Post by: ShowBizWolf on September 06, 2020, 11:58:58 AM
Gotta wonder when names like that get picked for stuff  :roll:  Great pic!!

They never did get back to me with a new challenge so...  how about a picture of your bike with a building that has burned.

I'm not sure how it is all over the world but around here, there are several houses and other buildings that have been left and abandoned after they caught fire. Eventually they do get torn down but it seems to take forever sometimes.

Can't remember that ever being a challenge before.

I should be able to do this one.  Planning on taking a Scrambler 1100 for a test ride and there are a few murals around Tucson.

That 1100 was a blast, by the way.  Super premium equipment, with a bit of a hooligan feel to it.  It would be a solid daily rider you could have fun on for a long time.


Next challenge.  Uh, how about your bike at some place that has a personal anecdote/meaning attached to it?  Like a restaurant where you went on your first date with your now wife, or the first place you crashed your bike, or etc?

Let's see if I can get the nerve up to ride to the place where I crashed... I mean, I have ridden that route one time since, but it still kinda gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Maybe I should look for something with a more positive vibe. Nearly everywhere I ride to has some positive personal anecdote. And y'all know I can't stop myself from telling it.

Long time lurker here! Finally caught a break in work and was checkin all the old forums. GS picture game is always a great reminder to enjoy the weather. If we are still OK with past gstwinners, especially those still on a classic suzuki parallel twin engine (just with 2 less strokes)

How's this for a little story to go along with the photo. This is where one of my good friends growing up lived and on my 18th birthday place I rode and crashed a motorcycle for the first time haha. We went out and started up his step dad's Harley and I got on it just sitting with no intentions of riding. Accidentally hit the heel shifter and she clunked it into gear. Seeing that I've never ridden a motorcycle before I was clueless on what to do in the situation. I can still hear him yelling "clutch clutch clutch!!" I rolled it slowed to a tight left turn and laid it down softly on its side. When I did I put my left arm out and tried to catch the weight like a dumbass. Dislocated my elbow completely but at least the bike was fine! Nothing like starting off your 18th birthday right and missing everything playing due to being in the ER. I think it was God's way of keeping me out of trouble that night haha

Hmm...

If someone asked me what my favorite restaurant was I'd probably say Portillo's but the nearest one is in Phoenix (about a 4 hour round trip) and I don't really want to ride up there just to get food and a pic.  Especially not because I'm renovating a house right now and have better things to do with my time.

That being said, I eat at the Chinese food place near my work almost every day so...  Maybe that counts, lol!
