 That is disgusting. . My sister lives in Churchill Manitoba . Minus 2 this morning and right now, that is about 28.4 degrees F, and that is really far North. Pretty soon , it probably won't get above minus 15 C for 3 to 4 months..  at least the polar bears will be gone.. soon .. the ice is coming..

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

The whole purpose of the PSH is to ride now, waiting for the weather to change goes against the whole idea. 

And yes, there are fake cider signs too.  I believe it was a mistake for me to change that mark.

 Actually she quite likes it, they were living at their house on a lake in the bush near Atikoken, Ont.the last 5 or ten years.
 Her husband took on a 3 year contract to run the Port.  They are a year into it.
 She finds there is far more for her to do there, than in the nearest towns in Ontario.. keeps herself busy, and seems to be Ok with it  all. They have a company house near the port, comes with a bear fence !

 I got busy putting my race trailer into storage and missed the snowman opportunity this morning. We got enough snow for it but it's melting. My trees haven't even lost their leaves yet. I think I can mow with the snow plow on.

 Frank Tell her that my experiences were much the same we moved to a small town and as soon as they figured out that at least one of the family had a social conscious she was 4 times as busy as she had been in the city, so for 30+ years I carried spears and growled as my contribution to the social fabric. Then we moved up here to a smaller place and she got busier.

I have part one to make this mark. It snowed 9 inches here yesterday, just need to find a snowman and get it next to the Honda.  I don’t think I’ll be taking the Honda out till spring time but some creative photoshopping might get it done

Well I suppose I should ride past a schoolyard and see if there are snowmen, that have not melted.
 Can't imagine there isn't snowmen a few other places that someone can ride to..  feel fee to grab the mark..

 I think the snowmen at schools get kicked to the ground by teenagers at night..
 So today I was out riding, Dec 15th, and I see this just down the road from my last pic on this thread.

 So try to make it fairly easy given its the off season.

Please, call a new mark and make it realistic - aka doable.

Ok any flattracker  or street tracker.. i dont mean a streetbike with just a tail section on it.,
 Ok , just remembered a lot of shops are closed,  how about a pic of a flat track racer trailer,  a track sign, shop storefront.  Knockoff flat track wheel, steel shoe, leathers..  that sort of thing..

Did not happen, call the next mark please.  And really, it is not about showing how difficult mark you can figure out, it is about people riding and participating.    Could you make it doable, Frank?

I am trying to make it doable.. I can't see how there are thousands of fat track bikes out there and many street trackers, surely some one  can call someone up and get a bike to take a pic of..
 Ok so bike does not have to be in pic, ride it over get a pic of a tracker, race or street.

real problem is not difficulty of the marks.  Seriously, that flat tracker one would be easy for me.  I have probably been in the same place as 3 or 4 of these bikes since Frank called the mark.  I just rarely think about this thread or I just don't feel like stopping for a photo.  We need way more people getting in on this way more often for it to run smoothly.
