Hadn't been out on the bike all week so I had some time today and in 15 minutes I had two marks.  The life guard stand is above the seat to the left of the sign.  Sorry no bikini babes in sight.  It was 50 and looking like rain.  So do I have to call an easy one for you guys like maybe a tree or a house? ;D ;D ;D

How about a bronze/marble statue bigger than your bike.  Extra points if it's a naked lady. ;D

what is unacceptable? I see a motorcycle and mobile artilery. seems to meet the criteria.

I don't see anything unacceptable about it. :-\  I suppose, since this is a sohc4 forum, it's implied that the bike should be a sohc4, but according to the rules it just has to be "your bike".

Poor mileage? prolly.  But traffic jams would be a lot less frustrating!! :D

Will you show me all of them?
Sure.

Here is a pumkin stand/patch.

O.K. next mark. How about a bury patch. A cemetery.
I know it is kind of morbid, but halloween is right around the corner and pumkins are a big part of that, so don't blame me!

Ha! An easy one for me, I live a block away!  Tho I passed a cemetery this summer in Hooker Township about 30 miles away.  There was a big arch over the entrance that sayz "Hooker Cemetery"  (fill in your own joke here!)






OK, next mark.  Something that might give non-US riders a bit of a leg up, but easy for everyone.

A letter/postal carrier on their route. Could be a carrier in uniform with a shoulder bag or cart delivering downtown or a suburban carrier in their postal vehicle at a bank of mail boxes, or a rural carrier in their own vehicle as long as it says "Postal Service" or the like on the vehicle.  The hard part will be getting the shot staged if the carrier is on the move.

Why a letter carrier?  Considering the financial state of the US Postal Service and the fact that they will need Congress to bail them out, a letter carrier may be hard to spot in the future!

I'm kinda surprised this mark hasn't fallen yet.  What say we change it up a bit before it expires?

The mark will be a mail delivery vehicle OR the actual letter carrier.  Bonus if you can get a pic of ur bike with BOTH!

I was going to finish this one off yesterday, but my plan didn't work out.  I parked my bike in front of the house near the mail box, and had the camera ready to take a picture when he came by, but of course I was changing a diaper at the same time he stopped by my house.  This one didn't even require me leaving the house and I still couldn't pull it off! ::)

Hmmm well, I was thinking letter/postal carrier as in an employee of our respective governments.  UPS, FredEx and DHL I think of as package services, tho yes, they do deliver letters also.

Shall we let mob rule?  What do y'all think?  First 5 votes, up or down, determine the fate of the FredEx truck.

We've only got a couple more days to go on this one, so I say keep it going.  Somebody's gotta be able to get this one.  I'll try again tomorrow after work.  Our mail doesn't get delivered until late in the afternoon, and I'll make sure to change my diaper before he shows up this time. ;D

Small world.  I bought a '76 CB 750 frame and parts, etc. from a guy named Bob that rides a CX 500 and lives in the house right next to the entrance in this picture.  My friend thought it was such a funny name for a cemetery he also took a picture of it.
