I assume this means realistically attainable dream bike then, right? Cause, you know, it's going to be hard to find a '34 R7 just hanging around. Still doesn't help though I guess cause my current most desired bike is used and only available in Japan

 I have nothing to contribute but I have to chime in to say that if that's not a shop that is the single most epic thing I've seen in any of the riding threads across the countless forums this game runs in. God drat. The theater would be impressive enough, but that loving sign too. Halo_4am fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Dec 6, 2012 |

drat, this needs more explanation. How was it on the marley? How did the kickstand not ruin it? Kicking it too hard ruins that poo poo. And what theater is that? It looks familiar. Yes I am a geek. . . Er, stagehand. Edit: looking at it closer it just looks like a black deck, but drat. I'm impressed.

Hahah, thanks guys.  ). I had to go to work directly after taking the photos, so you can imagine my anger when I got home and some rear end in a top hat on a scooter beat me to it  It's definitely not a photoshop, although the second photo is a quicky composite of different exposures/stagelight settings. Nah, the kickstand didn't hurt anything, the building is actually owned by a church and they had the wood stage refinished with a super-protective layer so they can hold normal services/rent it out to orchestras/other random crap. Fun Fact: there's a sort of catwalk-like extension that can be lowered in to jut out into the first few rows. Back in the day, a likely liquored-up Frank Sinatra stumbled off of it into the crowd.

Either get your bike with Santa, or your dream bike/place that sells your dream bike.

I thought about calling in a favor from a friend who is working in one, but it's more of a small community theater and it's their busy time right now. Even if I had, it wouldn't have been as good. Nice job.

I actually stopped by a Ural dealership on Saturday, but I forgot to take a picture. Yes, I really want a Ural, but I just can't justify it.

I drove past our local dealer about a month ago going to help a friend get winter tyres done for his car. I'm so tempted, but yeah, can't justify it. Though I did gently caress my leg up on my scoot, so the side car would mean I wouldn't have to put a foot down, and it has reverse. Plus the wife would be more comfortable in the tub...

OK, it turns out it's super hard to take a photo of yourself plus your bike at arm's length with your phone. So... I don't think this counts. Also I live in Australia where it's high summer and shouldn't really be grabbing something even snowbound North Americans can do.

Alright, I was gonna say in the spirit of the season get a photo of your bike with a Santa, but someone already did. But I think that challenge should still stand. So, either: Get a photo of your bike with Santa before Christmas Eve, or, after that, get a photo of your bike in the snow. (Poor North American riders.)

^^^^^^EDIT: Sorry bro, didnt realize yours was time based  I still held your challenge up below however.I got really depressed after I took this picture. Not because I couldnt ride, but because I was thinking about how with the right tires it would be really fun to ride right now.  MULTI-PART CHALLENGE! Show us your bike in the christmas spirit, either with santa, or being used as a christmas ornament (wrapped in lights or wrapping paper etc).OR, for those of you not snowbound, show us your bike by not directly showing us your bike (reflection in a car or store window, in one of those convex safety mirrors, on a security cam, etc).

Looking at the cars parked outside right now and their arrangements, this picture was taken in the last four days. The SV650 (not shown) is in the same spot, parked in the same orientation, and I know it was next to my bike on Wednesday. You can tell we're not snowbound here, either, but 30F doesn't mean snow when the dewpoint is -6F and the closest moisture is at 12,000 feet.

 I took this picture a couple of days ago, in the window of some kind of dance school while completing a challenge for an AdvRider thread. Then I forgot about it until today. New plan: Take a picture in front of a restaurant you've never been to before. Then let us know how the restaurant was. Honor system, folks.

Keeping things moving.. This wasnt quite in the right order, I went to this restaurant for the first time yesterday and took the picture today. I rarely go for Thai food, but this was pretty good. The best bit was sitting in that open area and looking out at the view into the bay of islands:  Thats more my bike than the view but you get the idea! Get a photo of you riding your bike. That should be simple enough - grab a frame off a video, ride past your camera or something.

I rarely go for Thai food, but this was pretty good. I didn't realize the thread was stuck on this...But of course I have some cam whore shots anyway. It was about 50 today so I went out to my favorite road to try an eye level gopro mount. This should count as a pic of me, gopro dong coming off my forehead and all.  In case someone is a pedantic rear end in a top hat(my favorite kind of rear end in a top hat) I have this one too. I scraped pegs a few times and was feelin pretty good today so I put it on the back for a bit of lean shots to end the ride right near home.  Since there was still snow in shaded places here: You're bike in the winter If you're fortunate enough to be in the southern hemisphere then substitute that for showing off the nice summer weather.

So the weather this weekend not only finally gave me a chance to catch up on my Steam backlog and sperg on the Biek wiki, I somehow won a thread I'd not looked at in weeks:  To cheer me up: Your bike at the beginning or end of your favourite road (the road to you/your significant other/your mom's house doesn't count unless they live at Laguna Seca)

goddamnedtwisto posted:To cheer me up: Here you go:  What's that, you say? This isn't beginning of a road, but the car park outside a brewery? Sure is, because you're only in Healesville for two things: the White Rabbit brewery, and the Black Spur (Wikipedia article clearly written by motorcyclists; Google Images.) It's easily one of the five best roads in Australia; the only one I can think of that's better, off the top of my head, is the Great Ocean Road. Here it is on Google Maps. Click on 3D next to driving directions to have a virtual ride while you're stuck in your northern homes with six feet of snow outside. Next challenge - Your bike at the place where you once took a spill.
