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.

Sagebrush posted:Even the text above the stage? That's got to be photoshopped in, right? Oh yeah, I added that later. I know the guy who runs the videoboard but he wasn't around unfortunately hahah. I was pissed the screen was lowered and wrecking my photo, but I made use of it.

Sagebrush posted:No one is posting this so here you go: something that was recently an animal on top of my bike.  Here's my bike yesterday at approximately 3500 feet - 3300' above Los Angeles (which can be seen faintly over the right ridgeline), and 2300' above where it usually roams. I pity the fool that does not live near mountains. I also pity the 6'3" fool who tries to accelerate rapidly up a steep grade with an 883 (she does nicely in the curves though!)  Your Bike And You Being Hipsters In the interests of keeping the game rolling, this is kinda open ended. Pose outside of your favorite non-Starbucks coffee shop (bonus points for flannel). Load your pannier with Pabst Blue Ribbon. Cuff your jeans and sit on your bike looking bored outside of a thrift store. The catch is that you must be in the photo!

nsaP posted:These challenges are p. lame imo and stall the game. I thought about this thread today and checked it while I was out riding, thinking that even if it was a lame challenge I'd do it to start the game rolling again. I couldn't do this challenge while I was out and I'm not going to dress up, ride to starbucks or w/e, and ask someone to take my picture for this. Sagebrush posted:This is why I'm anal about the challenges being about riding, and going to find things that are easy to locate, not just random-occurrence motorcycle stuff. Sorry, I thought I left the challenge open-ended enough that someone would either come up with something funny while out riding anyway, or just grab a photo in front of Small Local Coffeeshop. If Silly-Balls approves, how about a new challenge: a photo of your bike at your favorite scenic overlook, with panties in a bunch on the seat?

 Built in 1913, the Colorado Street Bridge in Pasadena, California, soon became known by locals as "Suicide Bridge". Lose your job in the Great Depression? Head over to Suicide Bridge and fix your problems. Drink too much on New Years and realize life is worthless while watching the Rose Parade hung over the next morning? Just do it.... There's actually two legs of the bridge, and it spans the Arroyo Seco ravine, just South of the Rose Bowl. I have also heard tale of finding stashes of wallets down in the ravine, robbed from unsuspecting joggers using the trails down there. The fenced area behind my bike is an old decommissioned military site, and the building on the hill served as a hospital during WWII. It's kind of a desolate, spooky atmosphere down underneath to be sure. edit: nsaP you fucker, you beat me while I was writing up my post.  Your challenge stands but I'm leaving my shot.

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!

Ron Swanson saw my bike and gave me a thumbs-up out the window:  To continue on that theme, Your bike in front of a TV/Movie set location near you Films/TV/Etc have been made in just about every city in the world, so just about anyone should be able to do this one. I'll take real-life locations that a famous scene was based on, if that works for someone!

It's not a group, but I faced down a bear cub on the 690SM the other night. Don't mind the small hop at the end; I was excited. Your bike photobombing a Herd of HarleysFind a few of your local wannabes parked somewhere and get a photo alongside them. Bonus points if you ride a scooter.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Wow that's crazy!! Where do you live that a bear cub is just out on the streets? Please say Russia Not quite - just the foothills north of Los Angeles. This video is very appropriate. Last summer mamma bear raised a couple of cubs in our neighborhood - they often would hang out in the yard next door and gambol youthfully in the grass (I have some great photos somewhere). Many neighbors were nervous, but I loved it. Unfortunately, a few months ago the mom leapt into the street in front of a car, smashing herself and the car. She apparently ran off, but we haven't seen her around since so I think this little guy is an orphan. He seems to be doing just fine though, and having never known any different is alarmingly tame. I think a lot of soft-hearted idiots around here are feeding him in person, and while it's cute now it's not going to be great when he weighs several hundred more pounds. Bears are great and quite harmless until they start expecting things from you.
