Olde Weird Tip posted:Doooooo it!!!! It's so close to my apartment, I had no excuse. This is minutes after I had a great experience with a small green SUV that decided to drive alongside me in my lane for a while. That is not the intention of lane sharing   I had to kinda stand in the street (in rush hour, by an intersection) to get this so I had to stay close.  YOUR CHALLENGE: A BOAT The boat must be bigger than your motorcycle. (no toy boats, sorry landlocked states) Gay Nudist Dad fucked around with this message at 01:45 on Mar 15, 2012 |

Linedance posted:My challenge, since I'm now going to get an expensive coffee from Monmouth Coffee in borough market is as follows: That is a cool boat. Thanks for skipping the rowboat. Of all days for me to not ride into work, a coffee shop challenge? I'm in Seattle, goddamnit. I can't even count how many I pass on my (2.5 mile) ride to work. My office is a mile away from Starbucks HQ Someone better beat me to this

Spiffness posted:It's too bad that bar isn't done right. It has so much potential, but is very weak in execution. I end up there pretty often for scooter events, the owner is involved in Vespa Club of Seattle. I love the crystal ball P/PX occasionally parked inside, but the establishment itself is pretty underwhelming.

Gullous posted:I was thinking of what would make for a fun ride/adventure. I've gone Google map hunting in the past and watershed stuff has always resulted in cool poo poo; pristine pavement/access roads, pictures of weird industrial poo poo in the woods, and misdemeanor trespass! For some of us Seattle goons it is even easier (this is a mile from me) but I'm sick as a dog and probably won't be leaving the house.

So loud. Well, I'm guessing they were Growlers, as there's a base nearby with them, but they could've been Super Hornets. your bike and a construction zone (road works or buildings or whatever)

Ghost Cactus posted:Hm, okay, even though that house is cool... Definitely trying for this after work. There's one about as old as Seattle near me. Might even find Bruce Lee's grave! e: did it   (blurry, phone zoom)I did not find Bruce Lee's grave. I looked up roughly where it was to try and find it, but when I got to that part of the cemetery there was an old guy nearby reading. And he gave me some dirty loving looks when I rolled up on my loud putt-putting 2-stroke scooter and it made me feel like a jerk for riding my giant popcorn machine-sounding bike through a quiet cemetery. When I stopped to get these pictures (away from the old dude) I realized how annoying I was: it was SO QUIET. You'd never know you were in the middle of a city. I live less than a mile away and it's much, much louder. That is Lake View Cemetery in Seattle, established 1873. 4 years younger than the city. The new challenge is... something for sale that you can't afford (*I'm talking supercar dealerships, mansions with real estate signs, hell even a new John Deere combine or whatever) Gay Nudist Dad fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Apr 5, 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.

Well I waded through the tourists down at Pike Place Market to get a picture with the copper pig down there - but it's actually not giant. I'm pretty sure it's normal size for swine. It was too busy down there for me to get my scooter right next to it. Plus there are cops and security all over. Here's a pic from the street with my bike's headset in the foreground:  And since I failed with that hog here's a bonus hog  I'm not calling a new challenge because I do not believe I have met this challenge

Oh man I just realized I can do this, and it's current - this is from Sunday afternoon. From this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSEgCcAEOr4 (black bike, tan jacket, candycane stripe helmet, I'm visible a few times). your challenge: a train in motion (have we done that yet?)

Jim Silly-Balls posted:"A train in motion": the challenge you'll do 800 times before you get the timing just right. Do you really think it'll be difficult? I never said what part of the train or the size of the train. Maybe my perception is skewed because of where I live but I imagine there are plenty of CA goons living near a freight main line, commuter line, subway, tracked trolley, operating railroad museum, etc.

Slavvy posted:I realise that deer are fuckers et al but I'm amazed that 'not locking the rear wheel' and it's unsaid corollary, 'using the front brake fully' did not make it into your paragraph of things you could've done differently. Also leaving out the Step 1, even better, more guaranteed advantage of "it's 2:00 AM on slick roads in a deer-inhabited area, SLOW DOWN," which makes it even easier to keep your tires correctly engaged with the road surface.
