same here. We are neck deep in snowmageddon in TX with a quarter of the state without power and half inch of ice on most of the roads right now. My 4x4 Jeep that I drove right up a snow covered mountain pass at Yellowstone in November is just barely able to move on this enough to use as emergency transportation.

Long time lurker here! Finally caught a break in work and was checkin all the old forums. GS picture game is always a great reminder to enjoy the weather. If we are still OK with past gstwinners, especially those still on a classic suzuki parallel twin engine (just with 2 less strokes)

How's this for a little story to go along with the photo. This is where one of my good friends growing up lived and on my 18th birthday place I rode and crashed a motorcycle for the first time haha. We went out and started up his step dad's Harley and I got on it just sitting with no intentions of riding. Accidentally hit the heel shifter and she clunked it into gear. Seeing that I've never ridden a motorcycle before I was clueless on what to do in the situation. I can still hear him yelling "clutch clutch clutch!!" I rolled it slowed to a tight left turn and laid it down softly on its side. When I did I put my left arm out and tried to catch the weight like a dumbass. Dislocated my elbow completely but at least the bike was fine! Nothing like starting off your 18th birthday right and missing everything playing due to being in the ER. I think it was God's way of keeping me out of trouble that night haha



Getting my fiance in on the challenge. She's always hungry sooo

Hmm...

If someone asked me what my favorite restaurant was I'd probably say Portillo's but the nearest one is in Phoenix (about a 4 hour round trip) and I don't really want to ride up there just to get food and a pic.  Especially not because I'm renovating a house right now and have better things to do with my time.

That being said, I eat at the Chinese food place near my work almost every day so...  Maybe that counts, lol!

My favs keep closing.  Chipotle is about as good around here as I can think of now :cry:

my favorite restaurant is only like 1.5 miles away and I was there Monday on my Triumph! I just didn't remember this forum. Should have taken a picture.

Yeah, I was up in Phoenix and got food from my favorite place but also totally spaced on it.

Was a long day and just wasn't concerned with it at the time.

Getting chilly over here, but a lovely ride and roads were quite clear.


mr72

so are we still looking for favorite restaurant? if so, maybe in a couple of days I can take my now-running scooter over to Hopdoddy and get a pic.

cbrfxr67

Please do!  Love that thing

My favorite restaurant is like a 2 hour ride away, and it's not an entertaining ride either.

Almost took me a year to remember to do this challenge.  Ah well, better late than,... :dunno_black:



I'm thinking I'll end up playing this game solo but maybe somebody will get it. 

Next challenge, your bike with a mechanic shop that has TRANSMISSION in the name of it.   :icon_mrgreen:
