I'm not sure if I will be able to get this challenge.  This hurricane decided to throw mass amounts of rain everywhere so my bike is in the garage for the weekend

Ick!  Are you close to the coast?

This should do it.

Perfect!!!! Awesome pic Nighthawk !

Okay how about your bike next to a water tower.

This is awesome!  I don't think I've ever seen this many people playing at one time!

I used to live by one that was a giant smiley face...  Don't know of any interesting ones out here but I'll look!
Just got my new Corbin seat so I gotta go break it in.

I hop in this thread every once in a while to do a challenge.

I know right?? I've always wished more people would play... I love to see different bikes and places outside of my small town.

I got video, too.  Be up later.


Next challenge:
Your bike in front of a wall with ivy (or some other sort of wall growing plant) up it.
Go!

Ooo that's a creative one !!

wish I could do this one, but a bunch of local business cleaned off their buildings this year!

Not really but I live at the base of the mountains so we get hit with rain a lot.  The forecast says its going to be clear tomorrow by 11am though so I should be able to ride.  The wall of plants is going to be a rough one.  They did a mass clean up of kudzu and ivy around here recently. 

If anyone is interested, my vid of getting that challenge is here:

Here is me and my GS with my dad and his R75, as promised. Sorry it took so long!

That engine looks extraordinary!  Thanks for sharing! 

Yikes! Are those cylinder heads both in the same postcode?!

Yeah the horizontal cylinders are a bit strange. I think the orientation leads to a little bit more left-right shaking at idle than most bikes. You can actually see the handlebars and mirrors wobbling when its idling lol.

My dad let me ride it around the neighborhood which was pretty cool. It's a VERY heavy bike. You don't so much "turn" it as you do "wrestle" it around corners. The thing does not like to be anywhere but upright. Nimble, it is not. Likes to get up and go though, lots of power through 2nd and 3rd gears. Felt cool to ride such an uncommon vintage bike.

The upload folder is full. Please try a smaller file and/or contact an administrator.

sigh.....

i hope this counts

if it does... A pic of your bike in the moonlight

Cool exhaust, jeZZa!

Yeah, the website has long since lost the ability to upload pics itself.
I'm amazed that 3rd party picture hosting isn't more well known.
I'm even more amazed there isn't a sticky about it since like 50% of all newcomers complain about it.
By the way, if you surround your link with {IMG} and {/IMG} but use [ ] instead of { } it'll embed the photo so we can see it without having to click on your link.


I'll accept that pic, moonlight it is!
