The 2017 FOC-U Bike Picture Challenge
« on: 05 February 2017, 12:10:14 pm »
Here we go.... can't be arsed waiting about.

A reiteration of the rules.

1. All challenges must be of YOUR bike and a landmark, or something obscure or creative, something most people can ride to in their area.
 
2. Picture has to be taken after challenge is made.
 
3. Challenge is good for a week; if it is not met after that time, the previous picture poster picks a new challenge.
 
4. Nothing illegal to be challenged.
 
5. Keep comments to a minimum; if you comment, post the current challenge in bold type after your comment.
 
6. No repeat challenges.
 
7. No other bikes can be used, eg, your bike next to a Ducati. Some exceptions will be allowed, eg, your bike next to a bike cop.
 
8. Only 1 person can win each challenge; any other entrants will not be counted, due to throwing the whole game off track and adding challenges that don't stand.
 
9. If any dispute about a challenge occurs, 3 oks from others settles the challenge.
 
Remember, this thread is supposed to get people to want to go ride straight away and beat others to the challenge - be creative, but be sensible about it.
 
Have fun Foccers!


Your bike at a National Trust or English Heritage property

Here you go - one of each
Kirby Castle English Heritage 2 pictures

And Stoneywell National Trust although the carpark for it is off site and you wait for the shuttle bus to come and get you and there isn't a 1 sign with the trust logo and the name of the place so I got a picture of each for that one as well.

Tommy Are you serious !!!!
It's hard enough to find a bloody plod these days round my dodgy part of the planet, they're like rocking horse droppings , short of dialling 999 or there being handcuffs attached when policeperson shaking it I've got more chance of crapping in the queens handbag than doing that one.
Ooh just thought , does my wife dressed up in a policewomans outfit count ???( tastefully done of course ) or does it have to be a real policeperson

Come on Graham use your initiative, most old bill are good blokes and would be happy to help.
Keep your eye out for police car parked in a lay-by, pull in and look friendly tap on their window and explain about the FOC-U and what your doing and why, I can almost guarantee they will be only to happy to oblige. One might even be happy to grab you by the scruff of your neck and shake you by the hand while the other takes the photo.
