I think any air will do... If you wanna share your story of using a speedbumb at high speed as a jump then that's fine. Although I think something minimal like that should wait a bit if nothing better gets posted. I really hope to see someone hucking off a loading dock on their sumo.. Too bad I can't give bonus points. www.amazon.com fucked around with this message at 06:59 on Jul 11, 2013 |

Props for driving your scooter into a creek! I was just going to take a picture of my bike not triggering the induction loop sensor at the parking garage. Do the people posting from phones a favor, and make the challenge bold and surrounded with siren tags. [b ][/b ] (remove the extra spaces) :siren : (remove the extra space) That makes it easier to spot.

Trying to think of where I could do this on the Uly that isn't a giant speedbump (we call those Buelljumps). Maybe this is my excuse to dust off the enduro...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RktYU4IG7_k Don't worry about it, unless this one comes up again  . This is a little bump over a creek that I was pretty sure I was getting air going over in the past, but I couldn't tell. I went to do a few runs and actually thought I'd failed but when I watched the video I got it first try. Baby's first air. It's been pretty hot out...Your bike with/at a nice place to cool off.

I drove into a Creek and I ended up not being able to get up the other bank. So I got stuck anyways. Never seen my scooter smoke so much as when I just did this. guessing it was creek water on the exhaust. Dammit! My DRZ will be done tomorrow, and there's a big set of stairs I've been jumping off of, buuuuuut I'm gonna be working pretty much all day and all night tomorrow. Saturday though

Lol, glad to see this moving on, I didn't think this challenge would take so long with the heat in the States and in Europe. Cincinnati also has goetta  edit: just saw this: www.amazon.com posted:I really hope to see someone hucking off a loading dock on their sumo.. Too bad I can't give bonus points. Sorry you got my 2 inches but this challenge should come up again. We have enough sumo bros here that it shouldn't be hard to get this. The steeper creek crossings I know of have harder turns into them to stop people from going too fast and speed humps are lame. It's a short run coming up to this and a turn right after, and you can hear I'm already near the top of 2nd. I don't have the stones or the skillz to get more air. nsaP fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Jul 18, 2013 |

I thought about finding a trendy korean-beef-sauerkraut taco truck, but there is nothing more SoCal regional than In-N-Out. Also pictured: my newer, tidier, fender-less tail.  Your bike hanging out with a large or strange animal There's always a weird ostrich farm or llama ranch hidden out on a curvy back road somewhere. Go get weird looks from people by taking a photo of your bike there! Big dogs/housepets don't count, unless you have a goddamned puma or something!

Awesome. There was an In-n-out burger by my apartment in SoCal. Someone had shot out the "B" and the "R" at some point, so at night, the sign lit up to say "IN-N-OUT URGE ".

I've been living overseas for the past 7 years, so any time I stop in Cali or AZ I have to stop in to get my fix. Some rear end in a top hat has been pasting In-N-Out stickers all over the GI bars in Korea so every time I take a piss I have something else to be depressed about  We have weird little raccoon tanuki-like guys we call Benjo Wookies (Benjo=Poop/Sewage Trench) AKA tanuki, but they are pretty ninja, so I'll have to go hunting.

How about this:  Dont know exactly what type of cow? these are, I went out looking for an Alpaca farm that was supposed to be in the area but could only find these big hairy things instead.

 Here's a reasonably tame one that was up by my office on base. He was just kind of hanging out looking for handouts. I'm not sure if the base vet captures these or what, but there are a few of them here. They are raccoon dogs and I was unable to find one in time for a photoshoot .

Slavvy posted:I goddamn love your bike, I've never seen one in NZ. Havent had it long and it surprised me how much fun it is. Ive always had sports bikes before and this one is no where near as fast but its really grunty and wants to be 'ridden with spirit'. Only problem Ive got with it is that it loves to drink oil, spec is up to 1l / 1000(m/km?) but it feels like feeding a two stroke sometimes. Shame you dont get them over there, it would be a perfect bike for touring around your neck of the woods. Ive still got that XJ600 at my mates in Taupo - next time Im back I might be looking for a bike like the TDM.

loving BAM The Black Velvet distillery. Manufacturers of this fine gutrot:  As part of my job, I do a ton with this plant. Really cool guys and I can honestly say if you drink this stuff, I had a little bit to do with it. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing though.  New challenge: YOUR BIKE PARKED IN FRONT OF A SNACK/CANDY MASS MANUFACTURING PLANT Something like a potato chip plant, chocolate/candy bar plant, mass bakery (like Hostess, Little Debby), that kind of thing. Bonus with a photo of what that plant is known for. I also humbly suggest a change to the rules: If after 1 week the challenge is not completed, the challenge maker should be able to (but not obligated) to complete the challenge themselves. Reason being I suspect that most people who post challenges have something in mind themselves when they post it. Thoughts? Might also help with the game to flow.

Gat dammit where were you on Sunday, I went to the kickass St. George Spirits/Hangar 1 distillery in Alameda CA. Incidentally, right next to the lot that mythbusters do a bunch of their tests in! $15 for a tour and tasting wasn't too bad, and their absinthe is like herb juice. If my bike wasn't going on the truck today/tomorrow I'd go to the jelly belly factory, but oh well.

slidebite posted:loving BAM drat, I was gonna do distillery, brewery, and winery in the same trip! I was gonna refinish my kitchen counter top tomorrow, but I'm sure I'll find one reason or another to procrastinate and riding around industrial estates off the north circular looking for bombay mix factories sounds as good a reason as any. I like your idea, and I think you're right. I know I have things in mind when I've posted a challenge, and I want to see what others interpretation is. If it turns out to be too obscure, you might as well reveal your cunning plan and come up with something simpler. Finger Prince fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Jul 29, 2013 |

Technically I could have completed my own challenge on the way home, as I drive over Buford Dam here in Georgia. It's technically a "No stopping here" zone, but I'd think I can manage a quick stop-and-pic due to a bike "malfunction".
