Super: Saturday morning rides out to a friends garage where he sells coffee beans, pulls espresso, and cappuccinos, usually followed by some beers.



Don't always ride due to the beer portion but glad I did today, despite getting soaked on the ride home. Dumb video because I had nothing else to do today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv3fJZBTTYI

edit: Also yes, I need to buy a new pair of gloves.

That appears to be what happened to a lot of people, same here over the weekend. The challenges are also pretty open so with that in mind we are going to :siren: Continue last weeks challenges thru for this week:siren:

This is a submission for both the Super and Silly challenges. The guitar in the hard case is my favorite electric guitar. The guitar in the soft case is an anniversary edition Alvarez acoustic guitar that was given to me by my Grandfather on my tenth birthday, almost 21 years ago. Also, I live in (a suburb of) Austin now, the self-proclaimed live music capital of the world!

Thanks! It would definitely be a very difficult ride, ha ha. I have backpack straps on that acoustic case, which would probably work pretty well for riding. I worry about the drag pushing on the neck of the guitar, though, and wouldn't be willing to try it with that one.

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

Super Challenge: Continuing the theme, your bike as a minivan. Not as in carrying 7 children or boring yet practical like an NC700, but useful in hauling large items.
Big boxes, tires around your midriff, coils of industrial wire, amplification gear, drums of mercury, whatever. Something big and unwieldy and creative.

Assuming I can still post submissions, here's something for the silly challenge. (Click for huge)



The hour before this was pitch black since the sun hadn't risen and there was heavy fog. After spending ~10 minutes on this ridge I ended up plunging into that poo poo you can see there and the next hour was a complete whiteout. But the view while I was above the fog was beautiful and the ride home was amazing.

Yeah definitely. To be honest between the dull in the thread the last feew weeks and me being super busy changing jobs and interviewing and I've not been keeping up with it. I saw we keep going on this one again still, I'm gonna get some more shots and I'll bug some other people to post some pics so we can keep this going.
