 So 18 days later and nobody makes the effort when it's hard, nor when it's easy..
 We seem to have more participation in the 20/20 Rides thread....a bit weird..

I would have gone out and found a tree like I said I would, but my bike ended up in pieces in the garage. Chasing electrical issues.

That's really an accomplishment Man I'm really happy for you, congrats on getting in some real miles on that sweet ride. Is that an invader rear?

As for me I've been a member since the beginning and I've only got a few miles around the block illegally on my K3 before I tore it down. I have thousands of miles on my SOHC twins but only single digits on my fours.
I'm hoping to get my 20 in 2020 after my new found K8 is together and running.

Here you go...a closed down gas station.  Do I get a bonus point for having trees in the background?



The new mark must include your bike with a statue or monument.

Well, here yo go Robbo and Frank a statue of a statue. Yes that's Lady Liberty in the background and maybe she is a bit tarnished these days, but still what we hope and aspire to, irregardless of mistakes.
 Our restaurants are taking it hard. George's Senate is one of my favorites. Carry out only for now, but soon the doors will be open and the dining room and parking lot will be 50% full. George is a hardworking guy and this Haggerty rd eatery is the nicest of the his several restaurants. If I had stood back a bit further, you would have seen the flag in his garden as well as the eagle and the Statue of Liberty.

Too much flatland here Rob. We have only international tunnels under the river to Canada: 2 rail tunnels, 1 auto tunnel. I have been through the auto tunnel a time or two way back when, but I'm seeing nowadays that motorcycles are no longer allowed: what's up with that? Probably riders enjoying their loud pipes.
Maybe there is a short freeway tunnel under a plaza.

You won't find it much flatter than here in The Netherlands (or Holland), both names give a rather accurate description, imo ;)

Too difficult?
How about finding a helicopter to park near your motorcycle.... ;)

I almost had that one this morning Rob.  A helicopter flew over just a minute ago, but I couldn’t convince it to land .

And I couldn’t get the bike out of the garage quick enough...maybe tomorrow .

I just noticed this thread today - A great excuse to ride the 550!
Looking for helicopters are we?

These are Boeing Chinook CH-47 helicopters that are in the process of being restored at the nearby airport in Middletown Delaware. 
Just after I took that picture I spotted a chinook in the air as it landed at the airport:

That was pure luck, I've never seen one in the air before.
Here she is on the ground:



So it is up to me to choose the next photo opp? How about something like this:

Your moto underneath TWO bridges.....
extra credit for moto/water/bridge/bridge.....
Too difficult? If it is please let me know and I'll change. 

Very glad to have found this game, which I hope to be playing again soon!

Did I kill this thread?   :)

Let me know if the assignment for the next target is too ambitious. I just happened to spot the two bridges thing when I was out riding to get the helicopter tag.
