Good to see this is back, I'll see if I can find a tunnel. Please don't let this thread turn into the bitch/whine fest the last one did.

Some initial bitching aside glad to see it's off to a good start. If no one has found a lovely coffee shop by the time I head home I'll brave a hipster coffee shop.

If I win, I'm choosing your bike in a million pieces or your bike in an impound lot

Million pieces...that sounds like the CRF every ten hours or so
Impound lot...that sounds like the CRF every ten hours or so

If no one posts a pic with a firetruck by tomorrow afternoon or so nsaP can choose the next challenge. As mentioned I changed the challenge from a windy road sign to a firetruck. But firetrucks are awesome so someone get that picture.

I've always wanted to get a truck like that in lieu of a pickup. Would make an interesting bike/parts hauler.

Does your neighbor use it for anything?

It's a pretty cool truck and until two years ago he was using it daily as a work truck. Now he works on it as time allows, yesterday we spend a few hours working on the wiring under the dash.

SV650S off-roading possibly coming tomorrow if nobody posts something by then.
Works just fine for fire roads as long as there isn't much deep sand, loose gravel or 12"+ water crossings. Avoid jeep trails and single track though...oil filter is pretty vulnerable. Long story


Looks like riding the SV into work every day is wearing off on people. Guy I've talked to a few times picked up a nice 2007 SV650S three weeks ago and has been riding when able. He even picked up a high vis jacket. We almost match.

Crap I just did this last weekend. I suppose I could do it on the CRF again, I rode it around the block so it pry needs more oil.

Does building it count? Feels like cheating otherwise I would take a picture of the track bike with it's new unmounted tires, oil pan and general mess of poo poo.

On the beach in the water a bit, or a water crossing in a stream or maybe the kiddie pool that's been under the house for years. A bathtub or shower will also work.

What, no one's found an ice cream place in two weeks?



One of the many gelato places in North Beach. The ice cream is in the coffee cup because apparently that's how you get it when you ask for something to go from a real Italian place. The flavor is spumoni: chocolate, pistachio and cherry mixed together with nuts and fruit. It's my favorite flavor since I was a kid but you can only rarely find it in the grocery store, so I was pleasantly surprised to find it in most of the gelato places around here.

Since it's springtime, the snow will be melting and the rivers will be running high. The next challenge will be :siren: your bike with an overflowing stream:siren: -- or at least some body of fast-moving water.

Oh son of a... I went out and did this Saturday then went and played around on some gravel roads. One of those gravel roads has a water crossing due to an overflowing stream that I was going to take a picture of. Oh well.

Here's bike by the ice cream shop I didn't know was ~10 minutes from my house.

Norris Dam is a hydroelectric and flood control structure located on the Clinch River in Anderson County and Campbell County, Tennessee, United States. Construction of Norris Dam began in 1933 as the first project by the Tennessee Valley Authority, a Great Depression-era entity created by the federal government to control flooding and bring electricity and economic development to the Tennessee Valley. Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) enrollees were sent to build the park. Many of the facilities at the park were constructed by the CCC and are still in use. Norris Dam State Park was named for Nebraska Senator George William Norris, who lobbied intensively for the creation of the Tennessee Valley Authority in the early 1930’s.
