This is exclusively how I wave to any road pirates that scowl and point at the ground. Big ol' floppy wave way up in the air, all "HAAAYYYYY!" Makes drivers laugh.

If you're going to do that you also have to lean waaay down and scrape your fingers on the ground while growling when you pass a Beemer. It's only fair.

Finally... Crappy pic because I was parked ridiculously illegally, but here's a Ducati feeling seriously out of place in Southend-on-Sea, home of the white Escort Cabriolet. I will admit after taking this I parked up properly and even though I was in full leathers went for a wander and got myself a burger and an ice cream, so my challenge is:  Your bike and your guilty pleasureNote that neither mechanical nor flesh-and-blood guilty pleasures are allowed so no taking pictures of your polyamorous lifepartner on your Grom (what am I saying, neither polys nor Grom owners have any idea of the concept of guilt or shame).

Let us list the guilty pleasures, even though some don't count: 1) Riding a scooter even though I have 3 other motorcycles. It's just so fun! 2) Retro gaming 3) Being so obsessed with Typing of the Dead that I went out and bought a Dreamcast keyboard to play it 4) In that plastic bag on the keyboard are Xevious for the NES and..... 5) Fred Couples 36 great holes for the 32x. I am an original 32x owner and I'm trying to get a complete collection. LADIES........  If this counts, then Lets see your bike and the opposite of a guilty pleasure, something you strongly dislikePurposely pretty open ended with this one, lets see it Beve Stuscemi fucked around with this message at 13:51 on Sep 4, 2015 |

drat, takes me back to the days I couldn't afford a PC but had a Dreamcast with its keyboard, mouse, and VGA adapter hooked up to a 15" CRT with the web browser. Quake 3 and UT were absolutely awesome on that....

I remember when my friend got a Dreamcast keyboard so we could talk to other people in Phantasy Star Online. Dreamcast was so severely under rated and before it's time

On a road trip with my wife for labor day weekend and rolled into this place yesterday after 240 miles.  http://www.queenwilhelmina.com Pretty place. Nice ride. Was looking forward to a cold beer after the ride as we unpacked and walked in only to discover we had just arrived in a dry county. gently caress. Thats ok. I had something in the saddlebags just in case.  gently caress you dry county. To stay on topic lets see your bike with your favorite drink. If you can take it at the place where you purchase said drink even better! Also I am phone posting so apologies in advance if I am breaking tables.

Hey cool, welcome to Arkansas! It's a beautiful state with great state parks, and some fun roads for riding too. Sucks about the dry counties, though... And also, you can't buy alcohol on Sunday even if you're in a wet county.

Getting out for a coffee was a good reason for a ride. I went to the local coffee roaster, Monigram Coffee Roasters in Cambridge, ON (This was the closest I could park; parking is under construction.) If you're ever in Kitchener-Waterloo, it's worth detouring to get a cup, or some beans.  Let's see your bike with your favourite excuse for a ride.

It will be warmer if I take the bike since I can get home quicker. Burgers ok?   This is one of my favorite threads. It is a shame it has been slow since so few of you can participate. I want to change that. So, from The State Untouched By Ice, I would like to announce the new challenge: A picture of your bike winterized and stored in the garage with you standing next to it in full gear, forlornly. Preferably in black and white, or some other artistic style.;

Jim Silly-Balls posted:We already have two riding challenge threads, if you guys want to change the rules on this one we can. So we do. Huh. Well anyway my idea was something like keeping all challenges open, and if you complete an old challenge you can post a new one. That way if the current one is "post your bike on the moon" and it goes unanswered for the entire year, we can still keep the thread going. All the challenges would remain open, so someone browsing the thread could at a later date say "oh hey I'm going to be up by the moon this weekend, I'll stop in and get a pic for the thread".

Well it has been 3 months and no one has touched this challenge. Looks like it is up to me to try. Now, I just need to find a creek or a stream in California....  ........  gently caress all y'all, the hose is running. I am claiming it.  Take a photo of your bike against a matching background. For example, if you have Paint Vagrant's sexy, crimson CBR you could take a photo of it against a brick wall. Or in front of a firetruck.

I don't like the idea of trying to keep my bike pretty by preemptively defacing it. I haven't seen a protector I liked enough to put on it yet. I honestly think I might prefer to just repaint it (the same beautiful blue of course) when the time comes.
