Motorcycle picture game CHAT Thread

I was about to go and get the lighthouse (while grabbing fish and chips) then saw Darren had got it! So I had to go and get his new tag :p

[HoL]

:smt019 to you and your lame lighthouse Darren!

This was my effort

Did I see you leaving?

Here's mine

[MisterTommyH]

Is there a record for the most number of tags in a day?

If my bike wasn't broken I'd be straight up to KFC!

[HoL]

Push it there ;)

[DarrenSV650S]

I'm not getting that one lol. Did they try to take your order?

[HoL]

Indeed they did :lol: I thought I'd end up stuck in the queue on the way out but there was just enough room to filter through

[sc00by]

The latest photo comp has made me ask a question that I have been wondering for ages myself.

Can you do a drive though on a bike?

Thoughts / Experiences?

[christopher]

Not that I'd want to carry drinks/fast food on a bike, but there's nothing stopping you from doing it. You could put the stuff in a tank bag easily enough but if you get a drink then the lids are often so flimsy I expect you'll get a bit of spillage, and the smell of the food in the bag afterwards - no thanks.

Now a pizza bungeed to the pillion seat... that works well :p

[HoL]

I've seen people be refused service when they've been walking through when the main restaurant was closed. When I took that pic they were asking 'Can I help you' rather than 'Can I take your order'.

Besides which I don't appear to have a cup holder on my bike

[HoL]

Why don't you find out - & get a pic at the same time :)

[sc00by]

I wouldn't want to either, although I'd quite like to see someone else attempt it :)

Yes, drinks seems to be a non starter unless someone has created some sort of drinks holder contraption.

[sc00by]

Low and behold!

Nope :( well at my muck d's they dont allow it as its a 'health and safety issue' so you have to park up and go to the counter :mad:

Sorry for derail keep up the good work guys :D

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

I have been through a KFC drive thru with TON.

We ordered, rode around and put the "chicken" meal in a back-pack before riding back to his house

Saw a bloke going through our local McD's on his bike the other night, helmet balanced on top of his head, no other kit - did wonder where he was going to put the food.

[punyXpress]

Inside the helmet?
Keep top of head warm! ;)

[Richie]

and Yes, the photo of my bike was taken today (Sorry yesterday) on the way over to my folks place. A684

[missyburd]

two tags in one eh Rich? :-)

[Criggers]

That cup holder has blown my mind, shown me new meanings to life haha, I've got to get involved with this game, next to some spring flowers aye? I'll see what I can scrounge up from Chatham :)

[garynortheast]

No flowers in Chatham, drunks, weeds, and crims when I lived down the road in Rochester!

[Criggers]

You said it best mate!

[punyXpress]

Every poor sod who has forgotten an anniversary knows flowers grow on garage forecourts! ;)

[Criggers]

Has anyone found a modern art thingy, I haven't seen one bit of modern art in the streets, maybe it's been nicked!

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

I have been looking around and I think I know of one near me, but, it is getting out in the good weather I am having issues with

[Criggers]

I'll agree with that, it's brightened up at the moment, just hope it holds till tomorrow, so an evening ride can be prepared

[punyXpress]

If it's metal, Pikeys will have nicked it!

[DarrenSV650S]

Is that bibio on the right?

[punyXpress]

Special ( virtual ) prize for naming the other 6!

[Shawthing]

Not ' A pile of wood ' AGAIN !!
We only had that in March.

[Brettus]

Meh, it's not like it's a month long competition, if you don't like it go set another :-)

[L3nny]

Sorry, could be bothered to go looking through all the old pics on the post.

I can change it if you want

[DarrenSV650S]

Nobody can beat my epic wood :D ;)

[christopher]

+1

And posting this here to save cluttering up the main thread with the photos in...

Sorry... !

-photos-

has been done... try again!
Eh? At the current time nowhere in the first post (which contains the rules) does it say you can't repeat.

Unless you make this clear and maintain a list of all previous challenges then it's silly trying to enforce this non-existent rule by saying you can't have a similar challenge as has previously been had, I highly doubt anybody will look through the whole thread to see if their prospective photo has been done in the past!

[fenjer]

if I remember correctly wasnt the first one a big log pile ie unprepared timber?

this one is more timber yard/prepared timber, so in my mind it's a different challenge.

[BanannaMan]

There's a timberyard not far from my house.
Should have looked at this before I left home.
I'm 280+ miles away now.

[punyXpress]

Be there in 3 hours, Bill ?

[Richie]

Just saying.. it's been done...
We had Wood.
Wood was good...
but move on from wood... :0)

nothing in rules saying a repeat so Wood Stands!!! =)

Enjoy your Wood entry...
lol

[punyXpress]

Tried to enjoy 'my wood' but got splinters!

[Geodude]

You'll go blind puny ;)

[punyXpress]

Already have! :(

[Richie]

Wood have loved to be there :0)
How does the tune go...?
"I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my Bones...!" :0)

[DarrenSV650S]

RIP picture game :(

[BanannaMan]

Time already.
Apparently that's the only Fire service bike in the UK.
LPH, give us something else please!

[Geodude]

It can be any of the services not just fire. afaik.

[Littlepeahead]

It's not the only one, Essex have a Ducati too!

But as said above, I was out with Paul the fireman, but any of the emergency services will do. You don't have to drape yourself across a police bike wearing a skimpy vest, although that's what Bernard Biker Chick did last year in Soho!

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

Usk fire station have a bike too, always sat outside the station

[DJFridge]

Another Lancia from last years festival of speed, Stratos this time.

Sorry dkid, definitely a Mazda. Here's my pic of the same car about 45 seconds later!!

[Littlepeahead]

If no one can get their bike next to a fire/Police/paramedic bike this week I'll change it for something else.

[orose]

Hold it open to Sunday and I'm sure there will be a few on the MAG demo...

[punyXpress]

How near is ' next to ' ?
http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss267/punyXpress/024.jpg

[HoL]

5. No voting. If another participant agrees with the tag, it's good. Move on, it's supposed to be fun and moreover, AN EXCUSE TO RIDE!"



That looks next to it to me! :) NEXT!

[DarrenSV650S]

+1 get it entered :)

[HoL]

WooHooo!! the game is afoot! Nice parking in front of the no parking bit too :)

[punyXpress]

Had to be quick - little effers would have let my tyres down! ;)

[HoL]

And charge you 50p to pump them back up. Enterprising ;)

[punyXpress]

Bring back Bob-a-Job ( and the birch! )
That shows my age. ;)

[ImplodedHamster]

shiney new tag is up :) get hunting

[punyXpress]

*ugger!
Was at RAF Leeming yesterday & saw the perfect subject.
Story of my life - premature e.......

[Kenzie]

Thought you lot had given up on the game. Either that or the weather is too pants! While getting the snaps I was worried someone would beat me to it!

[ImplodedHamster]

good one ritchie. i love the lightning :D

[Richie]

thank you... it was that or a Vulcan Bomber... :0)

[joshwalker094]

Why hello there Richie sir, I shall go put the bike out on the drive with Bentley, Ferrari and mclarens to do this next challenge. Then I shall ride out to find a new one :)

Snooze you Lose \\:D/

[joshwalker094]

I've got pictures, just need to take a picture for a new challenge,

[joshwalker094]

With the Olympics about to start. I couldn't get closer as the police were guarding it all
Have fun and ride safe.

[Brettus]

Good call on the subject Josh! topical and interesting.

[andrewsmith]

Muwahahaha

I feel an evil plan to upset the remnants of the G4S security is coming on

[andrewsmith]

New one up.

I don't think we've had this challenge yet!

[andrewsmith]

You snooze you lose LPH ;)

TBH I manage across the road from St James park

[Littlepeahead]

And it took me 20 minutes to get into said Olympic venue and load pics up on my PC.

[andrewsmith]

Seached, then searched, then asked do you work here?

[mister c]

Looking at the last few pics I think it should be called "You with Christopher" The bugger gets everywhere :)

[christopher]

Haha :D

I'd always thought about doing roadkill as a tag, and now someone else has done it they go and use a photo I took, typical :p

[punyXpress]

Do you want me to go & get the 'evidence' christopher, though it'll be a bit rank by now!

[Brettus]

Well that turned my morning commute into a bit of a mission, brightened the day up even before I got to work. The sign was on my route but the castle was a bit of a detour so only did that after I took the sign one confirming it did say car boot on it.

Anyone else feel sneaky riding up to somewhere and parking the bike to get a tag? :)
Anyone had weird looks yet? I must have had from passing motorists but so far never pedestrians.

[andrewsmith]

Yes!
Yesterday

[Littlepeahead]

I have put another one up as we've already had castle at least once, in fact I think it's been done twice. I thought it had to be a new thing each time to keep it fresh? If everyone disagrees though I can take my one down. Maybe we should compile a text list in a separate thread so we can all see what has gone before to save repeating ourselves. I know it's tedious scrolling through pages of photos.

When I stopped to take the bootsale photo half an hour ago there was a massive gravel spillage on the major juntion roundabout so I'm just about to report it to the police. Had I not been slowing down too park on the path I'd have been in trouble.

Pretty sure there has also been a discussion about repeat photos and the verdict last time was Winner picks next thread and duplicates are fine. Obviously uniques are better but last thing we need is people having to trawl through dozens of pages to see if their idea has been covered before.

[DarrenSV650S]

Brettus got that tag. Doesn't matter that we have had castle before.

The whole point is it gets people riding. Its not supposed to be serious.

[Mark_h]

All now sorted. However perhaps a couple of posters need to be reminded pictures in the picture thread and chat in the chat thread!

I'm sure a friendly mod will be along shortly with his/her magic tippex or what ever it is they use to remove stuff.

[Littlepeahead]

Done it myself, just had to remember how to.

[femaleacid]

Its bound to happen to have the same thing now and again because of lazy people such as me not going all the way through the thread or newbies :)

Its all about the fun isn't it, s'all that matters!

[christopher]

I'm jealous of you femaleacid, having clear blue sky like your castle photo today while I'm stuck in work looking at more grey cloud and dullness!

[Littlepeahead]

How come you two have got such different weather - aren't you only about 50 miles apart?

Sunny here too today, and I drove past a castle today - we do have them in Essex you know. In the oldest recorded town of Colchester.

[christopher]

It's chucking it down now and rather windy. And get you with the history lesson :p

[Littlepeahead]

I followed the path of the oldest Roman Road. Now known as the mind numbingly dull A12, those roman soldiers probably died of boredom getting to Colchester from Londinium.

Anyway Christopher, how's the tash growing going so you can win a round?

[andrewsmith]

Would putting a challenge tag on the IoM be too cruel?

[Littlepeahead]

Nah, we'd just get Manxmatt to put up a pic of his bike and then the photo he's got of me next to his bike putting up my tent. Then you'd struggle as I hardly ever go camping so it may take years to get 'LPH erecting tent near my bike'.

[christopher]

Andy if you do that then next time I get the tag I'll do what I mentioned to a few people last year, "Your bike on the Nürburgring.". Game on!

And Clare, as much as I know how you'd like to see me with an 80s style porn moustache it'd take me years to get enough hair on my face to get anywhere near one!

[andrewsmith]

Muwahaha
If thats there saturday I'll do it!

Chris Baby face! ;)
10 years younger, have a shave!

[Littlepeahead]

So just to check, the rules are:

New tag posted, you have to go out and take a NEW photo of you to match that tag. So you can't for example use an old photo of your bike parked alongside a castle, or your mate back in Movember with a big tash? You have to go out now and find someone with fancy facial hair?

But if you manage that then your next challenge can be an old photo?

I thinks the game has gone on so long some didn't realise this.

Yup. Exactly like that. Perfect example of a questionable photo of recent would be the one used for "You and your bike! which was taken four days prior ;)

I feel a forfeit coming on, you're bringing that bikini next weekend right?

Well you did exactly that before with your immense 'camera from the back' post. :lol:

[Littlepeahead]

Yep Chris, as you pointed out that photo of me was from only a day or two earlier but strictky speaking should have been taken on the day I posted, so I fell foul of that by about 48 hours. If I'd have realised I could have set my tripod up. The one of me on the back of the bike was taken today, as was the car boot sale sign as it's near home and I met the guy with the tash yesterday at a cricket match. My alternative picture yesterday was a guy who is 6'10" tall who I had lunch with but I thought that might be a bit unfair on everyone.

[Littlepeahead]

Oh and I've done my stint in that bikini.

[Littlepeahead]

At some point I need the challenge to be 'Large northern bloke on an SRAD wearing a sparkly union flag bikini'.
