I did see the " fast and furious" challenge, but I think ricer is different enough. I'm just looking 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.....)

Will this work, since noone else has got anything yet..?

I don't think so, that is just normal graffiti. I understandthe challenge would be that entire wall almost full of it.

That will work since it's really big letters...I just didn't want someone posting a pic of their bike next to a trash can that someone used a sharpie pen on..   Pick the next challenge sir

Very well, the next challenge is:
Your bike next to a climbing wall / center

Bonus point if people can be seen climbing in the picture.

I can't wait to join in this picture game!

I get my '05 GS500F tomorrow  , and I know a climbing wall place close to me that I go to, but I don't know how soon I can snap a pic. Hopefully I'll be able to ride and take some pictures soon! 

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.

Nice, i thought that a climbing wall would be a tricky challenge.

Now.. wheres a wine shop?

My gym has that in the entrance. I waited a few days for  someone else to get it. No one did so Phenix got his picture taken (that's him outside - a very handsome bike!). He's going to get fog lights ! They came in today.

Hey adidas thats a great video doing up fog lights on a GS, I'd be definetly interested in seeing that!

Wine store near me.  They do wine tasting every Friday, but the sign is not up until the afternoon of the tasting. 




Next challenge:  Your GS in a pic with a roadside stand that sells produce or fresh fruit. (Can't be a bin in the front of a chain supermarket, but a stand in front of a mom and pop store is OK)

Country Boy's Produce, been here for as long as i can remember. There's a lot of flowers out there now, but they sell everything from fruits n veggie's to flowers and horticulture stuff



If it's acceptable, Next Challenge: Yer bike with a helicopter. Preferably real, but will accept toy/model!!

At the world famous Long Beach airport.
(First commercial air port, I think. Formerly known as Daugherty field?)

Do I get to pick the next thing?
I like to pick tough stuff, like, say... a hedgehog. Real preferred, but signage okay, I guess

I had a hedghog when I was a kid. Harry was his name. Don't pick 'em up when he's mad!

Sooo, I dug up some old dream cast stuff LOL!



Next Challenge Your bike with a University or College Icon for example at my school it would be one of 2 things our huge fountain or the Knight statue.
Like this:

Refering to the sticker on the tail of your bike:

I have been to southernmost point of the US in keywest, '90 miles to Cuba'... kind of uneventful from what I remember.  The best part was the cats at Hemmingway's house which was not too far from there...

Also, Fur Fighters was the best game on the demo! lol

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:




At the other campus, 1/4mile away. The De Haviland Campus, note the sign to the front of my bike with the Uni Logo.

The Uni Logo:



If this works.. The next challenge is: Your bike with a hammock. Bonus points if your IN the hammock, IN full bike gear.

Cool, thanks for the history lesson. I like these kinds of challenges where we learn something too! BTW I want a Hammock really really bad!

On de Havilland didn't he also do airplanes? Oh, yeah aeronautical engineering. I watched a show not to long ago on some of their airplanes.

Okay guys, it's been a week since that hammock challenge was issued . I don't own a hammock, or know of anywhere that has them up, so I couldn't do this one (but I kept my eyes peeled).

Vinny, time to make a new challenge!

I'll pull out my camping hammock and snap this one soon

... I was gonna do this one as well: however, I felt that a banana hammock was probably not appropriate... and I doubt anybody wanted to see bonus points with it.  ...   

-Bboy

Yeah....I'll pass on that.
