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.

Here yi go. This was taken in Volkensfeld, near Nurburg, back in August. The guy who owned the house we were staying at said we could keep our bikes in his shed... Was not expecting this

fazersharp · « **Reply #308 on:** 27 September 2014, 11:38:39 am »

The idea is that the picture is done AFTER the challenge is set

What is the secret to getting images up from elsewhere on the site? If someone fixes it then the image is of my S2 in front of the home of the navy there's bound to be a warship out there in Pompey harbour somewhere.

dazza · « **Reply #317 on:** 15 November 2014, 02:40:44 am »

Sorry Big Mac, clearly taken in the summer. Rules state that the photo has to be taken after the challenge is set.
I'll make it easy for you all.
NEXT CHALLENGE... Your bike by a war monument with poppies around the base

BIG MAC · « **Reply #318 on:** 15 November 2014, 11:27:21 am »

They will have a job getting a photo of my bike with Poppies round it

dazza · « **Reply #320 on:** 15 November 2014, 01:23:36 pm »

Good one Red, well done for braving the wet weather.
Thought it might be poignant as it coincides with remembrance for the 1 st world war.
Just been down to my sister's living museum where they have recreated a first world war trench system.
