You're right. They are all important. I've won a couple times lately so Mary, I say Homer wins. He deserves to win.

Homer, what's next?

I dunno, man.... this game is preeeeetty important.... You sure you just wanna give it up like that?   

Don't ya wanna call me a few naughty names or something?  Something about "hardening the f*ck up" is pretty popular.

The game is all about fun. I got to riding in the rain.   Drive on the grass to take the picture. I had fun.

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.

You pick.


Hey - what the f**k?  Doesn't look like your bike is a GS500? Is a non-GS500 allowed?

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)

True - it is Mary's decision. I guess until she decides, its open to more photos?
Glad we can all have fun here while pretending to take it so seriously.
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?

Half of us no longer have our GS500's (I no longer haz my two....I just haz my SV650s now.....he's still a Suzuki....should count for something...  )

You're all so danged fast gettin' the pics up! One of these days, I shall be fast enough! 

DOH!



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.

Seriously guys WTF ever! You guys get your panties in a wad a heck of a lot faster than I do and I'm just about the only one supposed to be wearing them! I really went through about 2/3 of the stinking link to get to them! I mean give me a stinking break!

Yes! Homer you are awesome you served in the war so did my roommate so did my boyfriend both lost people overthere. I lost a couple of friend's from my ROTC days there. I don't know how many times I have thanked you for your service. 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!

So how bout this since most of you got your panties in a bunch on this one You on your bike in your underwear extra points if you actually wear your panties in a bunch!

There!

^well put. I've been waiting on another challenge for like 10 posts now, but I don't think I'll be getting this one . . . 

I've always dreamed of being an underwear model! Adidas underwear!
Always wear your helmet, boots and gloves. Ride safe! (and sexy)



Next challenge: Next to an abandoned construction site. Be it a boarded up site, empty abandoned hole or whatever but some recent construction site that has stopped all work.


Forgot to note: single and available! Location: West Seattle.

That's cute lol

ROFL! Didn't think that'd get done so fast!

Mary

I'm just glad it wasn't a Mankini - some things should stay hidden.

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

HINT: In West Seattle? Go to 35th Ave SW & Avalon. Go down the street to 39th Ave SW next to West Seattle Bowl.

FYI: I am not taking requests for photos without underwear. Sorry. That's by invitation only.

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...



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...



If this is ok with the challenger - Adidasguy - then...

Next Challenge is: your bike with a real Excavator


Michael

You got it! Looks pretty abandoned to me. Nice job!

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

Street View of the same place, obviously After the hole started to be dug and Before the project finished - image around 2.5 year old. The shed was built to house the Gantry Crane which winched the TBM pieces out of the hole last year Jul/Aug/Sep

Thought I post these in case other people are interest in such things (how things Used to be compared to now)...

Here is the excavator.



Next challenge:

Your bike with large animal road sign



Both taken today on round trip from Houston to Nacogdoches, Texas.

Keep the shiny side up,

Chuck

Semantics question:

LARGE "animal road sign" (aka a really huge sign that says anything about animals, which could be a really big "Opossum Crossing")

or

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