Unless you're in the South, is that even a thing? |

You're asking if a tunnel could be modified to an overpass, if it were allowed, you'd need to photograph the bike after it was allowed. |

How about after X days, a -1 point penalty for the target caller?

How about in times like these, we pass the time with pics of our bikes with our latest upgrades... Attached File From 52 to a 48-tooth sprocket to do a bit better on the roads. It loves 55-60mph now. ( I don't like screaming the engine on 65-70mph hwy ) New front rotor and Enduro Engineering rotor guard. I rode the dirt with a slightly bent rotor for WAY too long. It didn't have a rotor guard... Saddle Bags - Waterproof, but I don't like them on tight trails! $70 Windscreen - For the cool factor mainly. Local dealer wanted $250... ETA: Forgot about the phone holder. ( RAM style ) |
"Some of the greatest dads I've ever seen weren't so much perfect as they were willing to work hard to overcome their failings. Does that make sense?"
Yes. Yes it does.
Yes. Yes it does.

ETA: Forgot about the phone holder. ( RAM style ) Some nice mods. Looks great. What model is that? I just got my bike in April, so far I've added bar end mirrors, a taller windscreen for when I actually have the stock batwing fairing on the bike, a Coffman's shorty exhaust, very throaty but not too loud, and that's it. Thinking about engine guards and putting highway pegs on them. |

( RAM style ) lol. that sounds like something I'd do. I've got duct tape holding a busted valve cover bolt in. There's dried mud INSIDE my left front turn signal. Front forks squeak like crazy when the SC1 spray wears off. 30k and haven't adjusted valves yet. I'll get to it when my garage isn't hot as hell. |

Thinking about engine guards and putting highway pegs on them. Thank you. I made the upgrades for the MotoMarchMadness event back in... March of course. But work kept me away. I've been tooling around town and taking back roads for a few hours on an early Saturday morning from time to time since then. 2012 350 XCF-W Fuel Injected. I added the street legal stuff, to include front and rear brake actuators. There are LED turn signals in the hand guards (I added them) and the rear signals are tucked in real tight. I've been beating it up and having fun with it since Fall 2018. |

Legible enough? Attached File Caught that on the way home from a ride with friends tonight. If it's kosher, next target is an abandoned/closed school. Elementary, highschool, or some other public school building no longer in use as a school. |

Past few weeks been either heat index in the 90's or some 'specialty target' like a regional one. So they be chillin in the corner. DRZ has a strange front brake goes spongy and weak after sitting a few weeks so bled it out. Getting ready to paint and then put up metal wainscoting 5' up the walls in the garage but have been waiting to jump on the bike to claim my 2nd find of the whole year  |

Crossed this mainline like three times in the way home but figured this one was the safest to pull off on. The wife have me the "OMG" look when I pulled over and dismounted. If we need a better picture, it's game on. Knew this one might be questionable. Our group for tonight. The one guy was saving lives like you wouldn't believe, lol. Attached File |

I figured someone would take a pic next to the crossbucks sign at a crossing and I would have cried foul. And you got a shot of the actual emergency sign. I have a rail emergency sign and a old abandoned school builiding with a 1870's high school masonry sign embedded in in the brick within 6 minutes of the house. |
