 Only if you go and get the current mark. Not pick an old one.

I like the pic Spikey, and yes, a gorgeous day for a ride!  But the current mark is a "Large neon sign at night".  Although, the mark is older than a week. 

So, someone, anyone, can call the next mark IF they get a pic of their bike and the a fore mentioned sign OR Strust needs to name a fresh mark.
Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

I don't know what I could call that would be any easier.  Jeez, I pass by these types of signs everyday/night.  What's the problem. ???

I woulda thought so too, Srust!  And I've been casually hunting for 'em.  But other than the Verison Wireless Swoosh and the inlays of a Red Robin sign (yawnnnn), I got noth'n here!

Not me.  I can't find anything but the occasional neon 'open' sign or beer sign.  Nothing like a large, wall-size neon sign...

tricked me too, but the Neon you are seeing is from srust, the mark setter.

So the current mark is still a neon sign. Though it has been reduced to include a smaller sign. Since only srust is coming up with the big ones.

Yeah, but only Shirley Temples and Virgin Bloody Mary's while on the bike, right?  ;)

Great Pic BTW.

Woo Hoo!  I'm at an ATM all the time, or so it seems...  :)






Hmmm.....   I gotta go back and look at all the dead marks to call a new one.

Okay - this one is a mark with two parts: 

one picture of your bike 'under the knife', that is, being worked on by yourself.  Bonus points for degree of difficulty - changing the oil - minimal points; serious engine work, etc - maximum bonus points. 

second picture is of that same bike successfully out on the road AFTER your work!  No mandatory destination or backdrop in this 2nd one, just generally back out on the road.   :)

Hmmm.......    I've just realized that unless you're right about to finish up your project RIGHT NOW, you'd all be forced to just dredge up archive photos, and that's not in the spirit of things.

How 'bout a shot of your bike and any unusual mailbox - one made from a welded up crankshaft, or a wagon wheel, or the like.  A few years ago, I passed one every day on my commute - built up with chicken wire and bondo to look like a rooster!  Then one day, someone drove by and bashed off the rooster's head.  It's still like that (headless chicken) to this very day!

Ugh, what a shame.  I can't relate to that, having in lived in south- or central-Florida for the majority of my life.  Sunny and pleasant here today - 77 degrees this afternoon with nightly lows in the 50s.  :)

And don't forget about how F - L - A - T most of it is!   :(

I swear, if you stood on a 10-foot step ladder in Melbourne, you could see all the way across to the Gulf of Mexico off Tampa. 

Sigh.
