tomorrow has come and gone...

 

I think I can get this one today since I have a bike again, that is if someone doesn't beat me to it.

 

How do you take a picture of yourself riding? I am fast, but not shutterspeed fast.

 

your canadian Randy I don't expect that you will understand the fineries of taking pictures..............

 

I'll leave it up to the judges because the challenge actually says "whatever you want". So here's my bike at the Connecticut Children's Medical Center Miracle Ride today. It was me and about 3000 other riders and I was the only VFR there. All proceeds are going to a new piece of equipment for the Neonatal ICU. If this counts (and if it hasn't been done yet), then my challenge is your bike (a person in the picture is optional) at a state park. Signage is required in the picture to prove that it's an actual state park.

 

Provincial Park


New tag is railroad crossing

 

Okay...here is the deal......Since there was a huge break in the picture taking.... ALL prior picture challenges are back up for grabs....

Current challenge.... railroad crossing... POP SMOKE ........... Move out smartly shutterbugs

 

Railroad crossing here:



Next challenge:
Your bike next to an Italian vehicle.



Disclaimers:

1. For those unsure about it, some Italian brands are: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia; and Ducati, Cagiva, Moto Guzzi, Vespa, Aprilia... etc,
   (The BRAND is/was italian -regardless of where they are manufactured now, or who owns them)
2. Extra points if your bike and the vehicle are the same color.
3. If your bike IS Italian (WTF are you doing in the VFRW forum?), then next to a German vehicle. Hope you don't need me to name them.

Here, some inspiration shots:

 

okay I know its late...but here it is anyway

I thought you wanted a railroad crossing....sign




scrapes from the visit to Longs...Have I mentioned that I really like leather

 

Is this an italian railroad crossing, dimwit?

 

No but that looks like an Italian box truck with the ramp ending in the wood chips.

 

yeah....Its .....an Italian truck..........thats the ticket.........yeah...and the wood chips.....they are imported yeah ......imported from Italy...yeah that it its all from Italy

 

Nice try.
Unless you have a picture of the woodchip's passport (or import bill); or at least an image of the badge on the truck showing Lamborghini or Vespa ...
:-D

 

Well...I'm back in the saddle up here in the Great White North!!

I'm ready to play!!

 

Just got back from a nice ride with the local sport bike club and just so happens that one of the guys rides an italian bike



so from my understanding I get to choose the next challenge? ok take a pic of your bike next to a giant animal statue if it hasn't been done yet. (giant fish, dinosaure, cow, duck, anything) but it can't be a stuffed bear or anything has to be bigger.

Funny thing is after i took the pic his ducati broke lol. and i quote "make sure to tell them that after you took a pic that this piece of shit broke lol) - jesse who rides the ducati

 

Hi Guys!

Glad to see this is still going. Been "tied up" for a while. 91, regarding the bike with stuffed annimal statue, are there many of those around where you live?

Cheers!.......

(P.S. 97% of all Ducati's ever built are still on the road today....... the other 3% actually managed to make it back home.)

 

There are a few animal statues around where I live lol. And as for the ducati he just pulled it out of storage and had to use 117 octane to start it lol. I really like ducati's and know they are reliable. It didn't really break either that's just what he said. The o-ring in his rear brake popes out so he didn't have rear brakes, after we stopped for a little bit and the fluid cooled down or something he had brakes again. I just quoted what he said.

 

Not many Ducati's around here. Very expensive and the after sales support is rumoured to be not of the best. Suppose due to the single importer not being able to invest in lots of spares for the few of them around .Legend has it that ordering spare parts becomes a lengthy and expensive importation excersise.

Still trying to think where I can get my bike close to an animal statue around here.......

 

Good job 91!

Now is my turn... here is one of the chinese lions that are used to "guard" the doorways.





Next challenge: (very easy for all the sissies out there)
You bike next to a live animal. Any animal. It just has to be alive.

Since sometimes one has to spell it out clearly; here we go:
A dog? Yes, it is acceptable.
A cat? Yes, it is acceptable.
A cow? Yes, it is acceptable.
A goldfish? Yes, it is acceptable. (I assume you take the fish tank out, or bring the bike in)
A fu&^% fly, or coakroach? Yes, it is acceptable.

Your mother-in-law? Well, to avoid problems let's take her out of this challenge.

Do you guys get the idea?

 

Ok, so whats up?
No movement here for a whole weekend? What could be the matter? Must be the Geek invasion I'm on about!
