For a far reaching view I was tempted to pull bike out of the garage and lay on the floor beside it to get the moon in view, that's pretty far away.....

The challenge didn't say anything about it being open, so that works for me :thumbup

Has nobody been out and parked up next to a bike and thought "I'd like to own that"??

It doesn't have to be bigger or better than yours, it could be a vintage thumper or a neat looking RD 350 or just one that looks really smart...

I'd like to help but due to a double hernia op 2 days ago my bike's going nowhere for a while, besides that it's cold and I'm a wuss!In my defense my bike IS the bike I wish I owned (luckily I do), it's fun and owes me nowt.

Ok, it looks like nobody is going to try this one, so let's have something different that should be easy:

Has *nobody* been out on their bikes recently?

You've got 8 days at the most to do this challenge...

Your bike next to an RAC van.

Specifically RAC? Or would you accept AA, Green Flag or similar repair/ recovery organisations? (And hopefully not one you've had to call because you broke down ;) )

What are peoples thoughts on another one for this year.
For all the new members this is what its all about.
https://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?topic=25134.msg295983#msg295983


Good idea sounds fun, why not  make it a sticky and keep it going, if my fazers off the road can I use my wife's scooter? 😅
*Disclaimer*
Nothing I say should in any way be taken as a good idea 😄

We tried making this topic a sticky, but that caused problems for some people who read the forums on their phones as they didn't always see the updates.

Hopefully, if people get out a bit, it will keep the topic up towards the top of the list :thumbup
