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.
Right, I'll set the first one to save any faffing around.

It's done properly on another forum I use, and is enjoyable for that. I had actually started to look forward to the challenges as, although I don't have a mobile device to post from, and can't get out during working days to do it, I'd still give it a shot.
Poor show folks. :(

(held a bosch planer over it)

Got a good laugh from that, but when it got accepted by the challenge poster, I thought it a bit out of order.
Great to have some banter - real reason I'm annoyed? Cos I'm off tomorrow and want to have a crack at one, even though I'm busy first thing! :lol I was actually going to do the post box one - found where there was one in Oxford, was going to nip home after work for a bite, then leg it 20 miles up the A40 - damn, beaten to it! But fair and square, so that was ok.
Funny BBB, that looks like Inverary, you live in Glasgow. So, ok I thought, maybe he's got a mobile thingy and happened to be down that way. Then fazersharp points out the flaws, and then I remembered you posted about a ride down there last year. Rumbled pal! :lol

Rule 4. Noooooo pooftahs!
Not everyone can have a crack at a challenge during the week due to work commitments etc, hence rule 3.
And I doubt I'll make this one either :\:

Not like you didn't enlarge the photo after first posting it :rolleyes
And the challenge was "next to a reservoir dam" - the reservoir is not required to be in the pic ;)
And then I could be REALLY pedantic and point out that the challenge was "your bike NEXT TO a reservoir dam", not 2 foccin miles away from it! :rolleyes :lol
Ok, in the proper spirit of the game and to save further argument, if 3 people ok it Fizzy, you got it. Fair enough?

OK, doing my bit for charity... Your bike next to an ancient tree/wood
You can find your closest (or not so closest) one at
http://www.ancient-tree-hunt.org.uk/discoveries/interactivemap (http://www.ancient-tree-hunt.org.uk/discoveries/interactivemap) zoom in to your local area and they should appear all over the place. Amazing what you miss sometimes.
Now... I want you guys to really try with this one, I know it might seem boring, no yellow Ferraris, Cafes, or Ice Cream Vans, but at least you'll be out in nature...... :b
(This is the one the wife suggested)

Status: Ancient tree
Access: Public - open access (e.g. public park)

Moor Park bowling green this morning (on way to work...). Unfortunately the signs were removed - I can only guess that they are having new diamonds set in the lettering or the solid gold signposts are away for polishing or further embellishment.

I once had a red Micra, and that was the slowest thing on this earth. Was totally the paint job, not the car that caused that. So by my logic you have the slowest bike in the world.

That was my problem nick. Harder to think up a new challenge than completing it. Only took me 5 minutes to park up. Took me 15 more to think of something
It does get tricky doesn't it :\

You are kidding me! I was gonna pick that (I swear) but opted against it as thought it may be a few days before someone gets chance to find a one in action. (And get closer to it)
You think maybe it's not such a good idea?

Your bike next to a chavved up car. The chavvier the better. (EDIT: Can't be your own car :p )
Post by: risticuss on 29 May 2014, 03:04:33 pm
Not so much chavved up as modded to buggery. The only original parts on it are the body shell and rear windows. Can't really tell from the photo as he wants to keep it as subtle as possible. From the inside you can see the real difference from standard.

Had a wee run round the coast today and took a picture of the Sprint at the Buckie lifeboat station, as I got back onto the bike to continue my ride a red mark 1 FZS600 rode past, how weird was that,
Anyway if this is good enough next challenge your bike next to a boating pond with boats on it.

So, nothing like "This is Big Ben" but something that the locals are proud to point out, preferably with some means to back it up. Such as the phone box at Dunsop Bridge being the geometric center of Great Britain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunsop_Bridge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunsop_Bridge) (even though it isn't exactly, but the locals will tell you about it all day long).

The club used to be at Deepdale where my brother and I would take our BMX's, it was bulldozed to make way for a Sainsburys before reopening here in 2005 or so. It is itself built on the old running track.
