Is it against the rules for me to get my own tag? :)
It doesn't specifically say you can't in the rules...
I've been trying - I took this one but it's more of a quayside than a pier. Incidentally made out of around 90% glass :(

Then I found this on google street (am I taking this too seriously? Lol) but i went there today & as suspected its a slipway :(
http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i408/mrhol101/250258fd.jpg
It's amazing how many piers are round here but they don't seem to want people to get to them :(

I would have believed you if you had said the first one was a pier :)
Where are you?
I'm on the Wirral. I couldn't bring myself to claim it was a pier, there is one I may go for but it was very splashy today & I only finished cleaning all the salt off my bike today. A bit scared of dropping it in the sea too
How cool is this this house? It's right by where the second photo was taken.

Street view goes all the way down that pier but you're not allowed to drive down there? In the reflection of the tram window behold the google bicycle!

04-03-12, 11:24 PM
Cool! I didn't even try to put the streetview on the pier lol. Well if trams and googlemobiles are allowed I don't see why you shouldn't be :D
Heavens, I was at South Queensferry today but didn't know what the tag was.
Oh well...back out tomorrow then.. :rolleyes:
Does anyone know the difference between a pier & a jetty?
Good, let's keep it that way. GAME ON!
Does anyone know the difference between a pier & a jetty?
You can find a fine example of a jetty just behind the motorcycle in this picture (http://forums.sv650.org/showpost.php?p=2673666&postcount=77)
So far as I'm concerned a Pier is fixed, sells candy floss and is covered in old people and a Jetty floats up and down and is usually just covered in seagull poo.

Ah, you're thinking of a pleasure pier (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pier#Pleasure_piers) that pic is a regular one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pier). Incidentally that is fixed :)

HoL and Josh.
Aint you two got jobs to go to.
:D
Awww I thought this meant someone had got it. Hurry up eh?
joshwalker094
08-03-12, 10:34 PM
yeah hurry up, im no where near a lifegueard station, so someone else can have this one
OK a quick Google of lifeguard station comes up with those bay watch style ones in America and the one I posted so the tag has changed. Any caravans in Manchester?

08-03-12, 11:08 PM
hmmm, theres a jippo site a couple miles down the road, and theres a guy a couple doors down with one haha. very busy with work these next two days, but if can get the bike out ill try set a new challenge
Do it! I've got a free Sunday morning to go hunting

Not possible - it'll be MILES ahead!
To follow shortly? Awwww, I'm probably leaving work about 3ish. Give me something to find on the way home!!

10-03-12, 02:27 PM
Ok hang on
DarrenSV650S
10-03-12, 03:01 PM
Theres no 3G anywhere around here so it took ages to upload the pic
:( Could be worse, I think Josh has been abducted by Gypsys
Went out on the bike today, and stopped to look at what the next challenge was... :0(
Hurry Up......! And that is an Order!
joshwalker094
10-03-12, 09:51 PM
they damn Gypsys, cant get away from them, had to agree to have my drive block paved, trees cut down that i dont have, my loft insulated, my roof done and the facias. and then i come back and the challenge has been done :O .
I've been busy working, not had the bike out at all this week, hopefully tomorrow, now what do you count as a huge pile of wood ?
DarrenSV650S
10-03-12, 10:38 PM
30 tonnes minimum
andrewsmith
10-03-12, 10:40 PM
enough to cause a very large fire
Might be a tricky one - google maps suggests the nearest huge pile of wood to me is a laminate floor warehouse, and I doubt they'll let me take the bike into the showroom even after I washed it...
andrewsmith
10-03-12, 11:05 PM
its a Northern and Scottish tag again!!
joshwalker094
10-03-12, 11:08 PM
hmmm timber yard should do, just to think of a new tag, and ill do it tomorrow

10-03-12, 11:33 PM
Would be an easy one for me but did a bit too much riding last weekend and now my rear tyre is too dangerous for even a 10 mile ride. :(
Will be putting new ones on next weekend.
Just my luck it would be such an easy one this weekend.
DarrenSV650S
10-03-12, 11:37 PM
I was thinking it would be a good one for you bananaman while I was uploading the pic lol. I actually stood on top of the logs to get a better signal. Eventually gave up and rode to the next town to find some 3G but there was none
I'm sure someone will have it by next week but if not please get it :)
DarrenSV650S
11-03-12, 06:38 PM
MYB (what happened to MYC btw?) does it have to say "welcome"? Or can it just be beside a nature reserve
missyburd
11-03-12, 07:41 PM
I wanted a change :-P
Nope it has to say Welcome (which is why I specified), so you have to go into it :-P
DarrenSV650S
11-03-12, 07:57 PM
I've been googlemaping and none of them around here say welcome. They're very rude :(

12-03-12, 10:52 AM
Grr ive got a nature reserve across the road from my house and another one out the back and another one just down the road, but none of them have a welcome sign *wanders off muttering*
missyburd
12-03-12, 11:00 AM
they do exist! hehe hadn't realised it would be quite so difficult but bout time you were made to work a bit harder :-P
Geodude
12-03-12, 11:05 AM
Yep myb you're right, gets you oot and aboot and where's the fun if its easy. No signs at my local places just dog poop bins at the entrances that stink?
Typical woman making things awkward :)

Haha she'll get ya, and typical bloke (me) trying to find the easy route ;)
Tbh I know of a sign, and if it's dry next weekend and I've changed my tyres by then I shall go investigate whether or not it has a welcome.
Whoop! Done! LNR stands for Local Nature Reserve in case you're wondering. Rode past the inflatable guy on the way home & couldn't resist it as a tag :)
missyburd
12-03-12, 06:31 PM
Nope, wasn't wondering! Well done Hol, nice one. I do kow where one of those men lurk but not over that way for a while...
andrewsmith
12-03-12, 07:12 PM
The next one may stand for a while
Would DP be a suitable stand-in? :rolleyes:
Nope, wasn't wondering!
lol, fair doos. I hadn't seen that before.

Next tag - next to one of those crazy insane inflatable arm waving guys
http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i408/mrhol101/847a5fd4.jpg
i demand to know how you found this
Huh? How I found it? He waved me over
I think HoL is pure comic genius haha
Thanks Reeder. You know that quote Josh has got in his sig - is it anything to do with this?

Try to keep vaguely on topic folks, this is not the mega-thread.
Yeah guys! (thanks luckypants, I was struggling to control them) :-P
Back to big wavey inflatable men... I doubt anyone is going to find one like that anywhere lol. Can there be a slight individual interpretation of it?
missyburd
13-03-12, 10:41 AM
I'm hoping it doesn't have to be the same colour?
Luckypants
13-03-12, 10:55 AM
I think I know where Hol got his photo, about an hour from me.... If its still going by Sunday, I might go have a look.
missyburd
13-03-12, 11:18 AM
haha I suppose it does count if it's the same one?
punyXpress
13-03-12, 11:18 AM
Don't think you're allowed to use the same one, LP?
Sure you are, as long as it's taken after the first one was posted. The more ways to keep it going the better :)
missyburd
13-03-12, 11:22 AM
As long as it gets you out it should count in my book :)
Says the lady who stated it HAD to say welcome ;)

I was surprised it was got so quickly judging by how difficult you were all making it out to be, that's what you get for setting it on a weekend :D

New tag. Your bike next to a big fookin pile of wood
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k164/DarrenStewartTait/20120310_142237.jpg
That big pile of wood would make a great background to a picture of your bike on a sunny day.

I can't find one of those wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube men. The only place I know of is Al Harrington's, but I don't think he has any in stock just now
punyXpress
17-03-12, 05:11 PM
There was one in Sheffield about 3 years ago - behind Meadowhall.
HTH ;)
I vaguely remember seeing some in Fallowfield a while ago for any Manchester peeps
There is an inflatable dinosaur in amongst the car dealerships near Hillsborough, if that counts.

Otherwise known as 'Air Dancers'
Imagine inflatables LE17 4PJ
Airmazin dancers AL8 7XD
Airdancer RM4 2SJ
Airdancer wales SA18 3SJ
Swindon Air dancers SN3 4BY
Pineapple Leisure, Halesfield, Telford
AAA Inflatables PE28 2SL
Airdancer Ireland BT16 1QT
Surely some of these have demos on outside.
Hows that for a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man?
To be fair, his arms aren't really flailing he's too busy holding onto carpet samples

Thats rubbish. I was going to visit two wavy arm men tomorrow. first day off work for what feels like forever.
DJFridge
20-03-12, 12:09 AM
Take the pic - it has to better than my effort! Even if they're real men with real wavy arms.
I'm afraid boredom had set in. That and I couldn't think of any other legitimate reason for posting the "bike as a clothes hanger" pic
Luckypants
20-03-12, 08:59 AM
I'm calling foul on DJFridge..... surely the whole point is that folks have to go out looking on their bike to find the tag? If it takes more than a week so be it....
IMO Flappy Arm man tag still stands as no one has got it yet.
missyburd
20-03-12, 09:04 AM
And I thought sv4me had done it but not got round to posting the next tag up?
Maybe DJFridge's tag should be next to a clothes line :-P
DarrenSV650S
20-03-12, 04:37 PM
Yeh sv4me should have it
someone should havejust taken a pic next to DP he is full of wind and has flappy arms.
i'll get me coat....
Sorry for the delay folks :)
Bonus points if the sheep's riding your bike....
