I think I can beat that. Got a few shots at home. Will post tonight.
The idea is to go out and get the pic. If you have one already thats cool, but not the intent of the game. IMO. carry on fellow enthusiasts.....

So the mark is STILL "your bike in a group of other bikes"?  Just checking...

i agree but the mark is a photo not a location... thats where the creativity has to come into play the tougher marks the less chance of it being already photographed.. you call an easy one then someone can claim it in seconds

Meant to be a "here's a picture that fits the idea, but doesn't qualify because I took it a month ago" kinda thing. After all, this IS a picture thread.
I forgot to post them anyway.

I'm not claiming the mark.   It was discussed at the beginning of the tread to go out and get new pics.  I just posted them for fun.  The pic of john on my bike was only a hr old but I lost that mark.

Ha ha ha, You mean like a "Scavenger Hunt" I've done those before.  I've never done a scavenger hunt by looking through my hard drive or on the internet for pics. how exciting.
I am right with ya retro.

This game needs two threads - one for discussing the rules, and one for the actual game.  Is the mark still a 'group shot'?  And, does it have to be an action shot, or can they be parked?

As far as I'm concerned, the called mark hasn't changed:  a group shot with your bike and minimum 5 others. 

I joked that bonus points given if it was an action shot.  Bonus bonus points given if your bike was the only bike of it's style in the group - that is, a vintage bike in a group of Gold Wings or a sport bike in a group of Harleys.

But, as in Drew Carey's old show - Everything's made up and the points don't matter!

Further, I kinda sorta specified that you should know the group folks - that is, not just a random shot of your bike sitting with 10 others at yer apartment's bike lot.  You know - the intention was to capture yourself on a group ride - something I almost never do.

Saw a Chevy Vega today out on the road.  Yellow in nice shape and for sale.  Just about anything is out there if you keep your eyes open. ;D

Been too busy or out of town to get the bike out.  Maybe this weekend.

I dunno...could you assured that someone here did not already have a picture of a giant chicken or the Worlds Largest Twine Ball already on file.  Oops...I blew it...now no one will ever call those marks. ;D ;D ;D





I should think with a short afternoon's ride,  you could score a pic of the 750 in front of a larger-than-life-sized pink elephant with horn rimmed glasses.

Went for a ride with the local Twin Cities VJMC guys today. My bike is the gray cb550.



Next mark is your bike behind home plate on a baseball diamond. Extree points if there is a game going on ;D

 That picture sucks. I wouldn't see that many vintage bikes around here all summer. I think I own half of the ones I know about.

Starting to get dark around here early. :)

Last weekend on my way to the lake cabin I saw at least two pirate related attractions.  So I want to see something "Pirate" related.  Could be anything so be imaginative.   :D

Extra points if lusty wenches are included.

C'mon now, get all those guys up there to circle the wagons hondas around the pink elephant for photos. You can see it from i-90.  Better do it before the snow flies,too.

when I first read the mark I thought it refered to Harley riders. that would have been far too easy.

  That one sounds kinda open to interpretation.  Someone's probably going to come up with a copy of Wizard of Oz on DVD in front of their bike.   
Just call me Timmaaaaay!!!
