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.

YOUR BIKE IN FRONT OF YOUR FAVORITE WAFFLE HOUSE (or foreign equivalent)

Try dropping down to 4 Oreos and set your pilot screw 3 turns out.

That's two votes for a List of Possible Challenges. One against. Any One else?

Say we get the list, y'all ok with the said list being at the end of the Completed Challenges List I already maintain?

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.

Booval, KFC. The Palace Real Estate opposite and Big W & Red Rooster across the road gives it away.  :thumb:

I normally avoid putting water directly on it, but this time I can make an exception. It's been rainy and nasty anyway.





NEXT CHALLENGE: Your bike's front wheel with a bowl of your favorite cereal (hot or cold) on the ground next to it.

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...



If this is fine with you Redhen then...

Next Challenge: Your bike at Army Surplus / Disposal store

It's amazing that this thread was started back in 2008, and still going strong  :cheers:
Unfortunately I just learned about this thread recently, otherwise I would have started playing earlier in the year, but it's now starting to snow in Canada, so unfortunately my bike is stored away  :cry:  :cry:
If anyone hasn't done it yet, would the next person that gets the army surplus store want to do a "picture with their GS in storage" next (hint hint)
If so,  :cheers:  :D

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?
