Photo Contest

Actually, according to Cundalini's original rules. Anyone remember that guy? If the challenge went un met in three days, the poster of that challenge was to post a new one. That part of the game seems to have changed a bit and no one seems to mind. I can't wait till I get home from this prolonged trip so I can indulge.

 

Ok, so new mark. Your bike next to a landmark attraction in your city. Water tower, bridge, courthouse, etc. your choice, sorry I haven't been checking the thread and forgot about the three day limit

 

being duly elected by the missing Cundalini... I have waived the three day rule when people start posting pictures more it will be reinstated ...but until futher notice .... picture on...(I wish my crappy pile of VFR was working...)

 

Here is my entry. It's a covered bridge that was recently redone. If this is acceptable, then the next challenge is your bike with the flag from your country that is displayed publicly. NOT your kids holding up a flag behind your bike and taking a picture. Get out and ride. Find a flag that is flying, and snap. Good luck.

 

Vote for win!

 

Winner! great pictures! On to the flag!

 

Saint Jo, TX U.S.A.


Some other pics from today......





The Ducati are nice, but somebody was complaining about their wrists hurting after mile 100..... Not me.... Love the VFR and it holds its own very well !

 

Ok, next challenge...... In honor of the Tour De France,,, Your VFR in front of either an old school bicycle shop (not the bike mart / bicycles inc. type shop) or some bicycle themed art in the community...

 

Gotcha covered on both fronts. Wheatons here in Kalispell since 1918.


If this is a winner we'll kind of stay on the same theme and go for public art- statues, murals, etc.

 

WOW!! That's perfect...!!! Cool store, and of course nice bike,,!

 

I accomplish this every time I ride now. My bike is a flag

 

That bridge is in the East Hamptons? Is it worth going for a long ride out there? I took 25 up the north end of LI a few weeks ago and was hugely disappointed by the traffic and stoplights.

 

The bridge is in East Hampton, Connecticut. Where is LI? Not sure where it is. Anyway, the bridge is just that, a bridge. Pretty un-exciting.

 

Oh is that what that is.? I thought you hit a chicken or something.:funky:

 

Alright. Lets see if we can kick start this thread. Seems like its battery is a bit low and it needs re-charging

This is the shot. I think it applies to the last challenge:



The chainsaw carving in the back ground is this:



The plaque attached reads like this:



If that was not good enough, then there is always this:



That poor bear had his nackers cut off by some sadistic dude with a chainsaw.

These are two of many carvings in the central park of Hope BC. All done by the same artist using a chainsaw.

I worked with Doug Lewis. Quite the man. His dog was just great. What had happened this night was Doug and Chip were sent to search the local forrest for a perp. I don't remember what the crime was, but it was a violent one. Doug and Chip were on this bad guy's trail through the forrest. Normally, when a handler and his dog go out, a regular member accompanies the team and watches what is going on around. The handler is focussed on reading what the dog is doing. But Doug was a bit of an impatient guy. It was not un-common for him not to await his back-up member and go out on the track just with his dog.

The bad guy here circled around and came up behind Doug and Chip. Doug was stabbed in the chest and Chip attacked the bad guy. Bad guy was able to kill the dog with the same knife he stabbed Doug with. He then fled.

Doug survived and after a fairly long stay in the hospital and rehab, her returned to handling a dog. Last I heard, he was over on Vancouver Island. He could be retired now. Likely is. He was senior to me and I would have "Maxed Out" on my service this coming January. Bad guy was subsequently caught tried and went to jail. I am sure out fucking Justice System applied the appropriate jail term. Probably a year and 2 years probation. Not to possess a knife unless attacking a steak.

 

Sooooo?
What's the next challenge?

 

I call for the three day rule, and since randy is all nuts for his bear, i'll carry the torch as a fellow canadian, pic of your VF in front of a cop car (NO POLICE STATIONS, edit: OR DONUT SHOPS ALLOWED, unless there are more then 75 marked cars, cause this i have to see!)

* I owe ya one Randy*

 

I was waiting to be declaired winner to make next challenge. Guess I am now declaired. I am up with noted challenge. But not in fromt of a doughnut shop either. That is a myth anyways.

 

Tim Horton's is technically a franchise Glad you approve Randy, didn't mean to steal your thunder, but my stock pipes just aren't loud enough

 

Do we get extra points for being hand cuffed in the back seat of police car?
