MODS: can you make the thread header blue or bold somehow? Started the year again with a Polar Bear Ride from out local Cycle Gear shop. There were in excess of 200 bikes this year. Work got in the way but still did an intermediate ride. Let's kick off the hunt this year. Pretty simple. I'll post a "your bike and a ______" Go find what I listed and take a pic with your bike. Then post it with a "your bike and a ______" From today  So, next up: Your bike and donut shop. |

Sorry for the night picture, almost forgot about this Attached File Next up: your bike by a fire engine or ambulance Extra internet points for both in same pic |
|
How about a fire tanker and two ambulances? Attached File Target: road construction equipment at job site. |

Washes up on your shores but falls outta the sky here. |

No white stuff here but still too cold. Maybe someone will challenge for a picture of the bike in the garage...  As a sidebar, I'm seeing some pretty good to great deals for used bikes from private sellers. Depending on what he means by 'won't start' this might be a good spring project, just not for me because I'm out of room. Attached File |

That equipment trailer was a coincidence as my bike was not present. Sorry for the confusion. |

So what is the Current Target? Finishing up chain sawing four trailer loads of downed limbs and ready to recharge with a ride!  Bigger_Hammer  |
LIFE'S JOURNEY IS NOT TO ARRIVE AT THE GRAVE SAFELY IN A WELL PRESERVED BODY,
BUT RATHER TO SKID IN SIDEWAYS, TOTALLY WORN OUT SHOUTING "HOLY $H!T...WHAT A RIDE"!!

I was about to ask the same question! It's currently 63 and sunny and I've been itching to go for a little scoot......and when I checked the mail 10 minutes ago, I see that the county has finally gotten around to grading my road--and they've left a 2 foot-high pile of loose dirt/gravel in front of my driveway again.  I can get my truck out, but there's no way I'm going to safely get the bikes or the cars out until I clear it.  Originally Posted By seca40: Target time called it.

Attached File I have a mile of dirt road before I get to pavement--it's all loose, and from what I'm seeing, to a depth of almost 3 inches. This wouldn't be a problem for you guys with adventure or dirt bikes.....but I have 850 pound cruisers with only 4" of ground clearance.  Could I get out of here? Yeah, but I'm not gonna risk scraping frame and chrome......and Harleys don't exactly handle well in soft loose dirt. |

They may have been back through to finish the job. |

That was easy. Even has a snowblower, shovel, and sled to complete the effect! (Funny thing is I rode to work today). Attached File Your bike in front of a state park/wildlife area sign. |
