I am keeping this aviation related for the next challenge. This next picture must have a (edit) control tower in the background. Bonus if you have an abandoned army air base next to where you live where and old abandoned control tower can be found. Caveat: Can NOT be from an airport currently labelled 'XXX international' per skyvector.com and Airnav.com. Boring images of huge airports suck. PS Btw it's perfectly okay to drive into an uncontrolled airport without 'permission' Drive cautiously on taxiways in case of airplanes spinning their fan thing. Be a good chap and check with the people in the office/FBO/Hangars before you do. Captain Apollo fucked around with this message at 15:44 on Jun 14, 2012 |

I guess it's somewhat doable, but it's going to take a rare person - someone who knows about it, has the opportunity to ride to it, and has one within riding distance. I did some googling about old airports/airfields near Seattle and I suspect they've all been demolished and built over by now.

Yeah I'm serious! Check this link out. http://www.airfields-freeman.com/ If that doesn't work I'll do something else. I just didn't want a random picture of some easy to find international airport.

Yeah sorry about that guys I wrote the challenge post while on my iphone in a hot hangar and didn't clarify that I just wanted an old CT, and not necessarily abandoned. This may work out, as some of you may even walk into private/public airports and inquire about lessons and become part of the .5% percent of us who ride and fly  If you get into skyvector and start looking around, any of the airports that are colored BLUE are airports with a control tower. Specifically, class D airports are towered during most of the day. Class C airports (your regional/internationals) are also controlled. Notice I'm using the 'Albuquerque' sectional chart. That's the most 'real world' looking map. It's for daytime pilots etc etc  When you click on the airport, it'll bring you an information page. It tells you if you have a control tower or not  Happy hunting!

A winner is me! Tower 825 at Willard Airport in Savoy, IL.  For the next challenge, take a picture of your bike in front of an "Adult" Store or with a product that can be purchased at them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeiRWsShaIQ Pvt.

Olde Weird Tip posted:It counts if you can find an entire store dedicated to adult diapers  Ironically it was right next to the regional airport. Ok, after the frikkin plane / tower ones, an easy one. Since CA hivemind chants "All The Gear, All The Time", why not: NEW CHALLENGE: A picture of you wearing all your gearExtra helmets are optional (must have at least one helmet.) Since this is super easy I recommend letting this roll a day or two so everyone can play and picking the silliest as the winner.

I tackled this challenge in two phases, first: I explored the concept of All The Time...  (Rub-a-dub-dub, fat man in the tub.) (Also a good way to test your rain gear.) The scrubber has a clear plastic handle, that's why it looks like it's floating in the middle of my back. And then all the gear you can't see in that picture:  Yes, I could have worn pants, but then you wouldn't be able to see my leg protection: kevlar underwear (basically Draggin' Jeans without the jeans). Unfortunately I don't own any guns or guitars so I could't go full Micromancer. (If that isn't already a unit of measure, it should be. If the standard is 1 micromancer (µM), it makes you wonder what would score 1 Mancer. One million fat men on one million beds? [/geek]) Scorecard: 2 helmets 2 jackets 2 pair gloves 1 pair "pants" 1 pair boots Total = 8 points

I'm rolling into Brooklyn for the evening so I'm calling it. Although SaNChEzZ did an outstanding job producing p much exactly the pic I was expecting for this challenge, I'm going to go ahead and call Bow TIE Fighter the winner, for thinking outside the box and producing a pic worthy of the AI Mensa-nity pinup calendar. Bow Tie Fighter, put up your challenge!

Yup, I knew I couldn't win based on quantity, so I went for creativity. It's a sunny Saturday in June, time for a vacation. Show me a tourist trap. You know, that one place that has billboards up and down the highway for hundreds of miles around, and you went there with your family that one summer and realized it's not worth the hype because it's wall-to-wall tourists and expensive souvenirs, and now that you're a local, you warn any visiting friends to avoid it. Bonus points if they have anthropomorphic animals as mascots and annoying TV/radio ads.

 If this counts as a winner, here's my challenge: A photo of your bike underground! Bonus points for a cave or mine of some sort. If nobody can get to something like that, I guess a basement or underground parking garage would work, but I'm shooting for one of you guys on a supermoto to show off here.

Olde Weird Tip posted:You are the worst sort of riding game player Not too many caves or mines I could get my bike in around here, but I did do some searching for abandoned tunnels and I'm gonna check one out later today and see if I can get in. I found some for the tunnel challenge earlier in the thread but they were either active (gently caress that) or difficult to get into, but I might have found an open section.
