Here's one anyone can do (in case the weather is still poor for most).
A picture of you with your bike wearing something that's the same color as your bike.

Awesome Pandy!!! I was gonna do that challenge but didn't feel like disturbing how I have my Showbiz Pizza collection set up... or my Bewitched stuff in my curio cabinet... and my TMNT collection is huge but I don't have it out on display cuz I don't wanna dust it!!! Wished I could have brought my bike upstairs and sat it next to my collection(s) instead :laugh:

Lunch time  :woohoo:

I love when this game gets momentum :D

I had a hard time choosing which collection, but I decided on the two things I'd have a hard time living without: my motorcycle and baseball!!!!!!!! Spring training. Can't wait. Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait. Pitchers and Catchers are in! w00t!!!!! Can't wait to see the next pic, too!  :)

The weather is warming up (around here, at least). Let's get this going again! This should be an easy one, even if you can't get your bike out of the garage just yet...

So I now realize that this challenge was a picture of you wearing something matching the color of the bike... When I took my pic I was thinking it was just your bike with some matching gear...

Well... here's a picture of my helmet on my bike. I posit that it should count since you technically can see me wearing my blue/white jacket in my visor reflection lol.



If this counts, the next challenge will be a pic of your bike in front of a fire station!

I say you technically CAN'T see you wearing your "blue/white" jacket in the reflection since the lens makes EVERYTHING blue.
What, we're supposed to just go by your word that you're wearing something that's actually blue?  I don't think so.  The proof of the pudding is in the eating, unless I see you in your gear through an unfiltered lens there's no way in hell I'm accepting that photo...





...  In all seriousness, let's get this game rolling.  ACCEPTED :cheers:

Firestation should be easy enough.  I say bonus points with an engine and +1 man score if you ask them to light it up for you.
(Ladies, +1 man score shouldn't be taken to mean you're any less of a woman, lol)

I like it. Unfortunately it looks like more heavy rains for the next couple of days here. Don't mind me, I'll be out back building my ark.

Here is my firestation picture... Turned into an adventure really. First firestation the firemen were all outside spraying down the sidewalks/road getting grime and stuff off their driveway, must be spring cleaning? So I couldn't stop there, the next one doesn't have a great access point except for the trucks, so I parked across the street. Then after snapping my pic, I went for my first real cruise of the season, was out in the country when it started bogging down and then it died. I eventually got it fired again, limped back into town, it died again. Got it started again, got another mile closer to home, died again. At that point, I called my boss and had him come assist, decided to try 1 more time, he followed, got even closer to home before it died, this time about a mile from home. Was scratching my head, then put her on prime, and was able to get home with him following. So something must be stuck in my carbs or fuel system somewhere, on prime it was quite happy. Either way, glad shes home where I can work on her and hopefully get it ready for the reason. Hope my firestation picture counts, it was one heck of a ride just for this picture.



NEXT CHALLENGE:
Your motorcycle in front of a bicycle shop/store front.

NEXT CHALLENGE:

Your image is accepted, of course.

Stories like this are, at least I think, what this game is all about: getting us out riding. I'm sorry to hear you're having issues (sounds like a failing petcock or clogged fuel line to me) but I am glad that you got out riding and had an adventure lol.

Next time I'll be able to ride is Sunday, so we'll see if anyone gets your challenge before I can lol.

Very much so, that's why garage pictures are discouraged and why we love so many of those "out there" type challenges.  Like a one-lane bridge or something.  You have to scour Google/Maps and go somewhere you've never been before!  At the very least, if it's a hot spot you get to share part of your world with the rest of us.
