People probably aren't doing it because it's already been done and it isn't really in spirit of a riding game.

NEW CHALLENGE:

:siren:Show us where you bought your bike:siren:

Take us back to the dealership, storage unit, barn, or prove your gooniness by taking a picture in some poor saps driveway and explain to them that you bought their bike back in the day and you're doing this for the internet.

Bonus points if you can take it one step further and show us where your bike was actually made.

If I bought my bike from some guy who's in the Coast Guard and he moved, would I have to find the guy or just go to his old house?

Your call. have to balance the interesting:difficult ratio

Really though, people this is the riding game. If you ride somewhere and get a picture that fits the description you have won.

Point Loma area of San Diego. I should have taken pictures of all the fish on the ground by the open air market but there wasn't a good place to get off my bike.

Picture of your bike at a Humane Society (for animals).

The new Humane Society in San Diego is beautiful. Go to your local Humane Society. Find a pet. Save a life. Or at least take a picture of your bike. :)

However, I'm impressed by Stugazi's speed to find some fishing boats, so let's keep their challenge.

Uh yeah, this didnt count. The picture has to be taken for the challenge, old ones dont count.

Since we've moved on though, the humane society challenge stands

The RSPCA is the UK version. Even though I live close to this place it took me an hour of riding on twisty back roads to find it, so no problem there!

:siren:Your bike with a lot of other bikes:siren:

Edit - Sorry about the hugeness, I posted from my phone and it got resized to the screen automatically.

And by 'a lot' of bikes, I mean 50+ and preferably some sort of event rather than just in a car park..

Seattle riders probably got this one in a couple days. Backfire's every third Wednesday of the month, and usually attracts around 100 bikes as long as the weather's not complete poo poo.

Could I ask you to measure some stuff on yours? I think my rear suspension isnt right and could do with something to compare it to.

Since it seems appropriate, :siren:Your bike kicking fall/winter's rear end!:siren:

Rain, sub-50's thermometer in the background, show your bike in conditions the garage queens dare not go.

And if no one does that after a week, your bike packed away for the season :smith:

Remember that we're trying to include riding to a location. Ask yourself: "Do they have to ride somewhere to complete this challenge or could they just walk outside and snap the picture?" when you type your question.
