Next Challenge: Your bike with a manhole cover. If the cover is not on the side of the road, do NOT do anything unsafe to get the pic, park on the side and take it so the manhole cover can be seen. (Sometimes manhole covers are not round nor are they on the road, they are square and on the sidewalk.  )

Saturday Bump...

Sorry, my friend, but I finally outfitted my GZ250 for winter.
It's much happier in the cold than the GS500, and now it has handguards.
I pulled the battery from the 500 and tucked it in to bed.

Still riding, just not a bike that qualifies to play the game.

Dubwise... any bike qualifies to play the game here. That's why we say "Your bike" and not "Your GS500".

So if the GS is away
the GZ can still play

And what about Civics? Why not say 'Your bike and/or riced out Honda'?

Why not? Because this is a Motorcycle Challenge.

So... hurry up and get yourself another ride. 

And as this one has not been completed... I'll get it later when I pick up my bike from Warranty Servicing and then issue the next challenge...

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.

How about a GS with a snowman

How about a GS with a snowman

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...

Michael

With the weather the way it is a full size snowman shouldn't be too difficult to come by. My nephew with one he made 2 days ago in Va.

If nobody can come up with a fullsize snowman how about a 5 day default to a man IN the snow.

While you weren't specific this a snowman!



Next Challange: Your bike with a real, flying jet powered airplane. No models accepted!

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...



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.

Flying=Off the ground under power! And yes be careful don't get in to trouble =)

Lol I could drive down to Hartsfield, but i hear homeland security isn't too fond of taking pictures of planes at the airport.

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.



I think one with a plane in midflight together with a motorcycle would be an awesome shot...

And a closer look...



Next Challenge: Your bike with a cell phone antenna. That is, the ones that pick up your cell phone's signal - not the round microwave dishes. They're everywhere. Usually found on the tops of buildings or towers, sides of buildings, etc. Such as...


Here's a bunch of them with one microwave dish...
