2 easy points for naming each of the two bikes in the center, 5 points for the one on the left...yeah yeah we know its a BM but which one??? and up to 10 points for the year it was taken and up to 50 points for id`ing the very well known location.

Kenny, Stevo, OJ, Moley???......I am expecting big things from you  :thumb:

Wild guess but considering that the photo is taking with film its hard to tell without the film strip itself. but Location, somewhere in the mid west. and I'm gonna guess 1989 on when it was taken. but the front bike is a Yamaha FZR 400RR.

1988 FZR 600 ( or 400 )  and a 1983 (or 84)  CBX750F if I'm  not mistaken.... Location... Somewhere in England or Scotland... (Red Phone booth on the right and big license plates on the bikes..)

Bonus points... I'm thinking an older BMW on the left but  not sure...

WOW...good call......a well deserved 35 points to your Sir :thumb: More on offer if you can give us a ballpark. The hill/mountain behind is the clue and I was facing W or NW when I took it.

BTW I was 20 and had a CBX550F2 at the time  :o

I'd have to poke around online for some clues.... So that's all the answers I have without "cheating".

I'll pm my "cheating answer" hehehe.

Elementary my dear Watson.... heheh...

Someone else's turn  (Tho I amend my FZR answer to a 1000)...

Guess on photo year is  1988 (going by your age listed and you said you were 20 at the time..)

Yeah...I'm bored today.
