A lot of the thread participants live in northern areas where it hasn't been riding season for about 5 months.  Give it time.  The weather is finally getting nice here in the StL area, but my bike isn't all buttoned up yet for the season.

Last summer we turned marks over pretty good.   I could have got a couple marks but been real busy moving more than just me.

Well, at last a target that is also doable in my country ;D
You can even choose between with or without the train ;)

If approved, I'd like to set the next subject as "your bike standing next to a big petrol tanker truck" Shouldn't be too hard, and could get the thread going again?

Thanks, been reading here for ages, but most targets really don't apply here, and make no mistake, the last snow disappeared just three days ago from the middle of the Netherlands 8)

I have had a body truck fuel tanker sitting at work for the past week, but it has been raining here pretty much solid for the last week, and if it hasn't been raining I've had to cart my 3 kids around, which I can't do overly sucessfully on the bike.

I'm actually kind of surprised none of the northern guys made marks like "your bike in front of a snowman" or "your bike undergoing maintenance while the garage door is open looking into a snowstorm" We couldn't get those here in FL, but you guys could. lol

Yeah...like I am going to be doing "maintenance" out in the unheated garage. ;)  We had a warm spell and I changed places with the bike and snowblower than it got cold and lots more snow.  Had to change them back.  Now if we had a mark like "your bike hemmed in by a snowblower" I would be all over that one. ;D
