Better check the rules again mr sharpe....iam sure val has used that post box before

fazersharp · « **Reply #177 on:** 24 October 2016, 06:36:50 pm »

Dont you worry about that - nothing gets past me.
My first thought was that rule 2 was being broke 2. Picture has to be taken after challenge is made.
Because a gold box was used to win a challenge before but then I saw that it was the mto9 which proves it was indeed a new picture.
There is nothing in the rules to say the photographed item cannot be used again under a different challenge so it may have to stand. One challenge was to actually find a gold box, and this one was a sporting interest.
It does fit the challenge in that it is a sporting interest, I will leave it to the gold box poster whether or not their moral compass requires them to have another go.

Yes I saw that too now, how good I am

Sporting interest and a buzard as a bonus

Anyhow do you accept it guys? That is why I have done 2 pictures to show the plaque. It is not easy to find sporting interest commemorative plaques around.

Next challenge your bike with something Roman - ruins, vila, stones, wall, building, anything.

That rules out the Scots and Irish since they never ventured that far

Not at all, just means you get more time on your Fazer travelling to get this one

How about this, its a Roman road the Fosse way, taken on a quieter section and then the road sign on a modern section of the road. You can still see the ditch each side of the raised road.

The Fosse Way is an ancient Roman road that ran for 182 miles linking the Roman settlements at Exeter and Lincoln, via the other Roman settlements at Ilchester, Bath, Cirencester and Leicester. The name of the Fosse Way derives from the Latin word for ditch and for the early part of Roman rule in Britain the Fosse Way marked the western border of Roman control. The Fosse Way may have started life as a defensive ditch and then latterly been converted into a road, or the initial construction may have been a road supported by a ditch - the jury is still out on that one.

Two bridges for the price of one. The original Kingsferry bridge is one of the only of it's kind, it's a dual road and rail lifting bridge and links mainland Kent with the Isle of Sheppey. In 2006 it was replaced with the Sheppey Crossing which is sadly the site of the biggest traffic collision in history with over 100 cars piling into each other in dense fog, mainly driven by people with dense brains and not driving to the conditions!

HarryHornby · « **Reply #193 on:** 20 December 2016, 08:06:51 pm »

sweet! Next please Mr Sharp.

fazersharp · « **Reply #194 on:** 20 December 2016, 08:14:52 pm »

I think we should keep it topical so

Your Bike and a Turkey

To make it a bit easier it could be outside a turkey farm or turkeys in a butchers shop window. Or even a farm sign advertising turkeys, so turkeys dead or alive.

slimwilly · « **Reply #195 on:** 21 December 2016, 07:43:06 am »

Here you are, I live on a farm and I have a turkey, so technically it's a Turkey farm,errrr oooh arrr

fazersharp · « **Reply #196 on:** 21 December 2016, 09:55:20 am »

If you like but remember the spirit of the challenge is to actually go out and ride the bike. So that's a no but nice try from me.

Looks like your MT has got an oil leak

slimwilly · « **Reply #197 on:** 22 December 2016, 09:07:03 pm »

Haha, I have not got time to rude atm, so I wanted to get my first ever entry in

fazersharp · « **Reply #198 on:** 24 December 2016, 03:53:47 pm »

Come on running out of time before all the turkeys have been eaten.
We don't want to have to give it to slim for that poor effort.
