Just checking on the rules. Does it ha e to be your SOHC4 honda or can you use a different bike?
I'm much closer to having my VLX on the road than my CB and wanted to join in.

We decided few years back that any bike will do. Happy hunting.

It's still on the drawing board Scott.
There where some issues with the importation.
Tews has been very understanding and has provided storage for the time being.
Our family have suffered three deaths in a short space of time and I have been snowed under trying to adminster those three separate estate's.
But I am getting there, so hopfully I will see my way clear and I can get back to the project very soon.
As I said earlier, Rich has been very understanding and I would be stuffed without him.

Cheers,
Brian

The bastards took my license off me back in 2012, does a mobility scooter qualify?

Cheers,
Brian
What happened to the 750 auto project??

Are we still on tire swing, garden swing, or porch swing?

Yes, swing it is.

I rode past a tire swing today to get these park swings. I think there are 9 swings here and not one of them is a tire swing, garden swing, or porch swing. This is about my usual level of (in)competence

But it is a gorgeous day today and I had a nice ride out to Whitmore Lake.

Prokop, have I missed the mark or is this passable?

Call the next mark, please.

Schidt.. I rode thru some slow to 10 mph a few weeks back.,

70CB750 · « **Reply #1957 on:** September 19, 2019, 08:43:19 am »

Here and second photo for the bonus

Kevin D · « **Reply #1958 on:** September 19, 2019, 06:28:47 pm »

You got it Prokop. Just exactly where were the photos taken? Looks like you are almost in the clouds!

Here in Michigan the curves are generally marked with the grandma speed, but I don't think that's the case everywhere. Looks pretty serious at the Welcome sign.... and I wonder how much "faster" the CB is on a 4 mile downhill. Probably a lot safer going uphill.

Bonus awarded. Call the next mark.

In Texas, we usually double the posted curve speed for spirited bike riding!

While touring with my brother in his 45' motorhome, we realized that you really need to abide by those numbers in a big land yacht!

Call the mark, I'm riding today...

Kevin D · « **Reply #1960 on:** September 20, 2019, 03:30:59 pm »

Stev-o, you can still get the 20 mph curve bonus or the knee dragging Double Bonus! But Prokop has already made the mark and gets to call the next one.... congrats on your 10 years, keep the rubber down and the centerline on your left.

This is 33 in Virginia on the way from Harrisonburg to Franklin, WV. I had a trip planned to go to Morgantown to see my son - alternated my route little bit.

I have a picture of Dorothy at the same spot from few years back. It was a Godzilla run to Beckley.

Next mark:

Apple cider sign advertisement by the road - it will go nicely with the fall coming and harvest and such

scottly · « **Reply #1962 on:** September 20, 2019, 09:42:43 pm »

Prokop, apple cider signs are not common in most of the US.

How about making the mark something more generally fall and harvest related? Cider, cornstalks, pumpkin patch?

754 · « **Reply #1963 on:** September 21, 2019, 12:33:31 am »

We got a cidery about 1.5 miles from here.. Damn fall is here now, man I hate no more warm weather riding..

Aren't you out of luck?

Good point, fall and harvest it is - cider sign is a bonus.

Stev-o · « **Reply #1965 on:** September 21, 2019, 07:08:01 am »

Yes, out of luck, only cider 'round here is "hard cider" or is that a good thing?!

754 · « **Reply #1966 on:** September 21, 2019, 07:17:22 am »

I am not out of luck, out of insurance.
you have to have your bike in the pic.,

Gene · « **Reply #1967 on:** October 27, 2019, 05:18:24 pm »

If I'm not too late here's the bike by Pa's Pumpkin Patch. I hate this place, but glad I took the bike out because there was a srs rattle and my #3 intake tappet was trying to wind it's way out.

scottly · « **Reply #1968 on:** October 27, 2019, 10:31:06 pm »

Call the next mark, Gene!

Gene · « **Reply #1969 on:** October 28, 2019, 10:33:15 am »

Since California's on fire, let's go with something opposite.

Your bike with a snowman. Doesn't matter if it's made of snow even, so long as it looks like a snowman - signs are fine as well.

And size doesn't matter - NO LAUGHING - can be a wee little snowman since it's early in the season.

Really? I changed apple cider to accommodate desert dwellers and you go with snowman?

Won't be long here, minus 9 Celsius this morning..

Gene · « **Reply #1972 on:** October 29, 2019, 05:47:21 pm »

IT CAN BE A FAKE SNOWMAN - can't find a fake apple cider sign.

examples - below - totally acceptable.

Sniper Kitten - not acceptable

For what it's worth, before I moved to AZ I lived on the edge of the Mojave desert near a place called Apple Valley, CA. As near as anyone knows, the name was adopted by land developers, hoping to make the area more attractive sounding to potential buyers. I never saw a single apple tree the 11 years I lived there.

On the other hand, due to the elevation, I did get more than enough snow to build a snowman more than once.
