If this isn't done by tomorrow, I'll do it. I can't believe no one in PDX has done this yet. All you have to do is walk the gently caress outside and take a picture.

It's cool, i found wanda.  Show me your bike and an old church. I'm on my mobile, ill update with sirens later.edit: Update a bit. As long as I can remember this woman has been walking thru town. I'm not sure what her deal is but (aside from the last few days) she's like clockwork, always walking. Her name isn't really Wanda but someone called her that back in high school and it stuck. I think at one point there was even a highschool band called "The Walking Wandas"...and doing a bit of soundclick searching it seems that their page is still up lol http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=57980 Godspeed Wanda, Godspeed. nsaP fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Apr 17, 2012 |

yay Your bike in a camp site at a real campground Not your backyard or just some "stealth" campsite on the side of a road. One with a picnic table and stove/fire pit, preferably visible. Note: You don't actually have to be camping.. just the bike at a site

Went out and the challenge was filled when I got back. I went to a bus station to find some homeless people, but they're all dressed really fresh here for some reason. A close up shows a face and hands that look like they were left on top of Everest for a year, but leather shoes and a button up???

That's an amazing photo. I kept thinking over this challenge, trying to figure out how to not come off as exploitative. And there you go, the guy standing next to the motorcycle with dignity, almost as if it's his own. Where was it, if I may ask? Any thoughts why your homeless are well-dressed?

Thanks. It's in downtown Fairbanks, Alaska. He was telling me about the Triumph bobber he made out of a '65 Bonnie. He tapped the name on the gas tank as he recalled the memory. I think he's well dressed because we have good services here, it gets too cold in the winter to just let them die.

I didn't really elaborate but I should have said that "old church" is very relative. What would be old where I live someone in Europe might say was "cute and contemporary". But if I do have to bitch (and I always do) slidebite posted:yay I tried to pick an easier challenge to keep it going since we stalled for a few days, and you go off and choose this? Hah, I could be wrong but I think we might be waiting a bit again. At the same time it excites me a bit, because by the end of the season I want to be solo bike camping and so I'd like to get this shot myself....eventually. Starting first with some group car camping next weekend, by the mid summer I'd like to ride while friends are with me in a car, and as I said, solo bike camping by the end of the season. edit: er...erd...kinda missed your last sentence, I guess that makes it easier.

I'm just grumpy because I missed it (we have some extremely old churches here), and then we don't really have any camp sites here so I'm stumped for the current challenge too. I also held off on the picture of my bike with the local town weirdo because he's my best friend and that's not fair.

As for the challenge, I figured most places have campgrounds close to them. Heck, I have 2 in the middle of the city I go by every day, so I thought it shouldn't be too hard.

Nice pic. Exactly what I was thinking! And dammit, I have both a College and University within 15 minutes of my place but the libraries of both face inwards on campus. I couldn't park next to one for a photo.

Detroit117 posted:Parking where ever you want ( Sorry, couldn't help it. The local college campus cops here are freaking Nazi's. I got harassed riding a bicycle through campus and I wasn't breaking any rules, just riding through on my way home. I've made 1 pass on the bike and got pulled over (I had an expired tag, but was waiting on the sticker from the dealer who renewed it the day I bought the bike) the guy was going to write me a ticket even though I had paperwork until I handed him my traffic lawyers card. He let me off with a "warning" and said he'd write me a ticket next time if he saw me with it again.

Crisscrossed train tracks like five times, stopped and got a photo at a crossing when a train went by, and then I didn't press save on my camera phone. gently caress. I can hear the train still, like it's taunting me or something. Edit: This might be the most satisfying crappy photo I've ever taken.  Whew. Chasing trains. Good times. Please post a picture of your bike in a trailer park or your area's equivalent.

If you take the pic from the street I don't think anyone can actually say poo poo. If you're on his property I think he can tell you to get off but that's about it. When people start posturing with me I just take it to extremes fast and it usually works out. I'm more apt to do it when in full gear since I look a lot more imposing. My favorite line is, 'Hit me or STFU, I can't start it but I can finish it." Having several years of MMA experience to back it up is helpful. As sometimes they choose not to STFU...
