FOC-U Bike Picture Challenge

[quote author=ChristoT link=topic=5714.msg81799#msg81799 date=1371304323]Nice car, BTW! :lol

It isn't, it's a pile of crap.  It was bought by a mate in France and the plan was that it was shipped to me (cheaper to ship to the UK), I do just enough to it to get an MoT so it can be registered in the UK and then it goes to France to be completely restored and transferred to French registration (as it is fairly easy to transfer registration on something from another EU country but virtually impossible to register something from outside the EU).  Despite that fact that the ad by the dealer in the US described it as mechanically sound, their definition would seem to differ from ours.  By mechanically sound you expect the engine to run and it to be driveable at least, not to have no brake hoses or fuel lines, carbs that have been full of water for so long they are seized solid and a starter motor that is permanently engaged so you can't even turn the engine over!  We haven't decided what we are going to do with it yet so it is sitting on my driveway until we do......

They look fantastic stationary though so every cloud, how much did it cost if you don't mind me asking?

[rustyrider]

To buy it, ship it and pay the duty, it came out at just under £14k.  Which wouldn't be a bad price if it had been as expected.  It needs stripping and putting back together and the interior replacing, the good thing is it is rust free.

Anyway, c'mon you lazy foccers, you've had 2 weekends to find a live sporting event and nobody's posted anything.  I didn't think it would be that difficult.  Or should someone pick a different challenge?

[Jazz999]

I reckon it's time for a new challenge mate

[ChristoT]

Your job to choose, Rusty!

[rustyrider]

Ok, I'll make it a bit easier, next Challenge:  Your bike at a Supermarket.

[Jazz999]

There ya go...

Next challenge - YOUR BIKE AT A PUBLIC CONVENIENCE (Or some dodgy public bogs)

[Jazz999]

Does Scunthorpe count?

LOL

If crap towns counted, I'd have won the second I set the challenge :-)

[mirdif64]

Taken today.
Next challenge. Your bike at a Lifeboat Station.

[dazza]

That is a stunning looking bike.

[Ebme Geek]

Guernsey's Life boat station

Next challenge : Your bike next to openness with no man made structures in sight

[nick crisp]

It must be a bugger of a job to get the boats out that front door, over the railing and into the water...I know they rely on volunteers, but that's ridiculous  :lol

[Ebme Geek]

Bit embarasing really at my age, bit of a chquered past with licences, I am still on a provisional for my big bike licence. But I will get my test sorted out as soon as I have put a new front tyre on in the next couple of weeks.

[mirdif64]

OK. Your bike next to a tractor.

[Ebme Geek]

Nice picture, like it 
Next challenge : Your bike next to a tractor

[mirdif64]

Thanks mate. Taken close to Lochinver. There's a lot of openness up there !

[rustyrider]

Had a run out to sunny Hunny yesterday and hoped to find a tractor but failed dismally.  Parked in amongst the other bikes by the pier and hoped someone would park a Harley next to mine but they didn't.  That would have counted as a tractor wouldn't it?
