I liked your first challenge....all the firetrucks live inside here. Maybe I can get lucky and catch em washing one.

Edit: Nevermind just thought of a way to get a firetruck out

If no one posts a pic with a firetruck by tomorrow afternoon or so nsaP can choose the next challenge. As mentioned I changed the challenge from a windy road sign to a firetruck. But firetrucks are awesome so someone get that picture.

As a firefighter I'll try to do this, but none of my bikes are running/near running.

VV Nope, gotta be Dubya-Dubya-Two, as you Colonials say it. Last time I was in the states I found that most towns (that were old enough) had some kind of memorial or thing for the war, it shouldn't be that hard. Hell ride and see your Grandpa if he was in The War, get a pic with him AND be a good grandkid.

Well, "next to" is a bit of an exaggeration. It's more like 2.5 miles and I'd have to go across a bridge pushing this bike with damaged tires.

If in a week or so there's a "post your bike next to an F-101" or "next to an 18th century cannon tower" or "with a cannon that was used by protestants to shoot catholics" I'll be set, though.

And a regular Flying Fortress protecting just the tips:


Bonus Cold War:


While I was riding down to Boeing Field, alongside which this museum is located, I had the piss scared out of me as two Growlers came in for landing, flying in tandem. So loud. Well, I'm guessing they were Growlers, as there's a base nearby with them, but they could've been Super Hornets.

I kind of secretly hope you keep getting beaten because then you'll be compelled to keep trying and keep posting cool pictures with interesting light. Seriously, both this and your last one are really neat.

Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.
