Come on, how hard can this be? there're trucks everywhere. Just to make things a little easier I'll take off the tractor/trailer bit. Any foreign made commercial vehicle (but not a pickup, that would be too easy). Go go go. | ||
| Buellkowski |
Import duties on heavy rigs are high in the US, Grump. The only tractor we'd have a chance of snapping a pic of for this challenge would be a U.S.-built Volvo. | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
Ah i'd forgotten about protectionism, lol. Go on then, your bike with a big rig, any make model, bonus if it's cabover, mega bonus if it's bike related, Super-mega bonus if you can get the driver standing in the pic with a sign saying "Grumpy is top trucker" or similar. Marker is helmet on the mirror or tank. | ||

Bump. | ||

Damnit Grumpy. Snowed the other day, all this week is high 30's.. Bullshit. I thought it was Spring! | ||
| Nillaice |
   i didn't trust teh wind not to blow it off of the tank bag, so i wedged it up against the passenger seat. i was having trouble finidng a cab-over, but at least it was a volvo show me an ambulance or your bike at the ER. bonus points if you can get a medic to pantomime with teh bagged, valved mask and/or defibrillation paddles to bring this tread back to life | ||
| Socoken |
Something about riding to the ER that doesnt sit well. Maybe a different mission? | ||
| Blk_uly |
It's still better than getting ridden there! | ||
| Nillaice |
or an ambulance. almost every fire station has an ambulance. and every fire fighter is qualified basic EMT dya' know a hottie who is a registered nurse? | ||
| Big_red_79 |
yeah, having to leave the bike on the side of the road and be hauled off in an ambulance is not the great way to end a day of riding... especially when you don't even get cute nurses to tell the story to! | ||
| Beugs |
Hey! I actually had that happen to me last august. I did get a very cute young nurse at boulder community hospital though. Still sucks that the tow truck did more damage than the accident. Just to keep this on topic, I vote for a new mission also. Something for april fools day possibly? | ||
| Littlebuggles |
I'm on two wheels tonight and can swing by the fire station or ER on my way home in the morning. Don't write this challenge off until oh'ate hundred or so. | ||
| Nillaice |
i'll be at VIR tonight. medics should be there for teh trackday sunday. by no means let me hold anyone back from riding thier bikes | ||
| Littlebuggles |
Yeah, I was beat, and since several lights conspired against me I gave up and went home another way. I've got a rare earth magnet "red light trigger" in the chin fairing of my M2, I guess I need one for the XB now too... | ||
| Buellkowski |
Not very exciting, but it moves this thread along.  | ||

Darn could of have a great pic of me in my medic outfit with my bike next to a medic copter. Was at work in Champaign at Carle Hospital. The fly guys always give me hell cause they know my bike outruns their copter(in a straight line). | ||
| Littlebuggles |
Next Challenge? | ||
| Nillaice |
 yeah, what's next? | ||
| Buellkowski |
You pick, Nilla. Your post trumps mine.  | ||
| Nillaice |
gas station. slim jim for marker. this is a gimmie! bonus for indication of a hot motor/rotor/tires | ||
| Littlebuggles |
Sooo... I really don't like Slim Jims, bit into a big glob of fat when I was a kid and have never had another one. Sad, sad story... Here's a little protein alternative:   Engine was warm enough for the fan to run, but it was cold, 41 sounded comfy but the wind was enough to carry away the heat from my grips and vest. Snow still on the mountains, look close towards the middle, you can halfway see the flag standing out sideways, it was a beautiful morning ride anyway, I love gearing up while the sun starts to warm the sky. Graveyard shift has its perks, summer sunrises with a quick canyon ride are a frequent pleasure for me:  Lets see your bike in from of a tax prep business or CPA. If you do your own get creative, you can pick up forms at the library, and software at office supply and bulk warehouse type stores. Gloves on your mirrors for markers. | ||

Do non-Buell pictures count? I have an appt with my accountant tomorrow, but I was planning on taking the street glide. | ||

Do non-Buell pictures count? I have an appt with my accountant tomorrow, but I was planning on taking the street glide. No need to be a Buell! | ||
| Socoken |
Do I get extra credit if it was 34 degrees when I left on my hour ride to get there?  How about at a golf course or driving range. Marker is one glove on passenger seat. Bonus points for a golf club or ball on your bike. | ||
| Big_red_79 |
dang, if i didnt have to work this weekend i would go for a ride to Augusta and snap a pic where they have the masters going on. i'll get to post on one of these sooner or later! | ||
| Xdigitalx |
 OK, if this passes...... how about your bike at the entrance to a "pedestrian only" bridge or overpass. Glove on the rider footpeg for a marker. Bonus points if your bike is on the bridge. | ||
| Littlebuggles |
It looks so much warmer than 34 in your picture Socoken! It's hailing outside, so the daughter doesn't want to ride the bike to her dr's appt. Too bad, there's a golf course just up the road from there. Bummer. She's mostly a fair weather rider for now. | ||
| Littlebuggles |
Dude, just missed it! | ||
| Beugs |
  can't see the glove on the first pic so I took another where you could see it. I wanted the bonus points for being at the entrance.  Your bike in front of an easter themed display of some sorts. No marker required. | ||
| Beugs |
No, my bad. No bonus points, it's not "on" the bridge. Oh well, I still got to ride. |
