This is an idea stolen (with permission) from the Fazer Owners Club (Unofficial) site foc-u.co.uk/

The idea is for excuses for a ride out or just a reason to go somewhere different, seems quite popular over on the fazer site.

Anyone interested?

Rules are:

 

1. All challenges must be of YOUR bike and a landmark, or something obscure or creative, something most people can ride to in their area.

2. Picture has to be taken after challenge is made.

3. Challenge is good for two weeks, if it is not met after that time, the previous picture poster picks a new challenge.

4. Nothing illegal to be challenged.

5. Keep comments to a minimum; if you comment, post the current challenge in bold type after your comment.

6. No repeat challenges.

7. No other bikes can be used, eg, your bike next to a Ducati. Some exceptions will be allowed, eg, your bike next to a bike cop.

8. Only 1 person can win each challenge, any other entrants will not be counted, due to throwing the whole game off track and adding challenges that don't stand.

9. If any dispute about a challenge occurs, 3 oks from others settles the challenge.

 

10. YOUR bike means just that, it doesn't have to be a TDM so any members that have made the error of changing bike (you'll be back!) is not excluded.

 

Remember, this thread is supposed to get people to want to go ride straight away and beat others to the challenge - be creative, but be sensible about it.

 

I'll start the ball rolling....

Your bike and a tractor.

There's a difference???

I was thinking farm machinery but rule 9 applies on that one.

No reason why not, they just have a wee bit of an advantage.

It was a beautiful evening yesterday, so I went out for a wee bimble. Sorry the tractor is so far away, but I added a second, just to confirm its presence.
