Nobody expects that everybody can do every challenge, I've lost count of the number of challenges I can't do simply because I don't live in the US, but so what? It's not a difficult concept to follow, you win the challenge, you choose the next one. Try & have a little common sense when devising your challenge to make it accessible to as many as possible, but originality counts too. If we have to keep to rules to play, you can count me out. KEEP IT SIMPLE. |

Your next mission: Your bike parked in front of some kind of photo studio/photography business |

"Something about work getting in the way of riding... " I know what you mean I can't find Elmo! I think he got scared hearing he might be roadkill! I'll go looking for him at lunch... maybe he's taken up photography? |

That elmo crap is hilarious!!! I reminds me of when I was in Iraq one of my buddies had a stuffed animal rabbit. He got a toy AK and arab head dress and posed this damn rabbit all over Iraq, usually in shots like the rabbit was spying on us or about to attack us! I know, war stories get old and it's off topic and probably not funny unless you were there but Elmo brought it all back to me! |

I'd say it has to be a new ride pic. One of the original requirements was that it had to be a pic that you went to get, not one on file. I just don't want to change the standard of the game, "well so and so posted a prior pic, why can't I?" I appreciate the honesty about it being from the previous nights ride, you could have just said "here it is", next mission... |

I appreciate Cityxslicker's honesty too. I've just been for a ride at lunch to get that one. Proof - I'm starving! Do I get to nominate next challenge? |

Ok, Elmo enjoyed his ride back to the office, so he says your mission, should you choose to accept it, is: A pic showing your bike and a hairpin corner, the more challenging the turn the better. The corner must be a public road and around 180°, ie folds back on itself. Freeway on/off ramps acceptable, roundabouts are not. As a marker that it is a new pic must contain something saying "Own the corners", eg Buell brochure, magazine ad, t-shirt, or hand-written. Bonus points for there being a hairpin warning sign in the pic . |

PS Ride safe, be careful where you park your bike for the pic. |

I'd LOVE to say this was just past. But it was a few years ago. I couldn't help not posting it Edit: The pic in my profile is the same curve. Carry on... (Message edited by glitch on July 15, 2009) |

"That is a sweet looking tuber." Thank you "lemon, what kind of intake is that?" It's an Italian made one meant for an M2. It has "ROADRACING" engraved on the outside, but i think they were sold under another brandname. Beautifully made, the base plate looks CNC machined, but it doesn't really fit the X1, it rubs on the tank accents. I will be changing it to a home setup sometime... That's the kinda pic Elmo wants, Glitch. The kind of turn you spend forever trying to get just right. |

hmm, went around a hairpin corner when I was just doing the panorama pick... might have to do this first thing in the a.m., unless one of the "Outside the USA" Buelligans does it first. I'm happy to see this thread get back up to speed! |

Too bad this game wasn't going a few months ago when I was still at Offutt. There was a Forbes Drive in base housing. Oh well, can't hang my helmet on third eye mirrors anyway |
