I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

For a group as ridiculously safety-conscious as this one, I am surprised nobody else has dismissed a photo op on the tracks as being too high on the risk ladder.

I wear denim and flip my visor up when I ride but I don't gently caress around with r/r tracks.

Since you all seem to be terrified of being run over by a train, your bike right next to the tracks will suffice. Go to a depot station and park by the tracks.

Estoria St, Atlanta GA

This road has two 90* turns 80 or 90 feet apart. It's clear two crews started building the road from different ends, and they soon discovered they weren't going to meet in the middle. Post some interesting fuckup like this.

BZZZZZZZZZZZT Times up on this one. I know its winter and less people are riding, but I honestly wracked my brain trying to think of something like your challenge near me and I couldnt.

Lets try something easier. Earlier in the thread I posted a challenge of "show me something your bike isnt supposed to be doing".

:siren:Now show me something your bike was built to do. Show me your sportbike cornering, your goldwing loaded up for a trip, your harley parked outside a lovely bar, your supermoto wheelieing over the land you're trespassing on to take it in the dirt, etc etc etc:siren:

Thanks for this...I was actually out on the weekend and thought "hey, I'll check on the riding game and see if I can accomplish the current challenge" and saw that one and was all helll naw, I don't know this city anywhere near well enough to know about kludges like that. Unless you count all of San Francisco as one gigantic kludge, which is reasonable.

I'll try to find a trail that is 80% road 20% dirt to match a '70s scrambler's functionality.

Damnit my Harley was just parked outside a lovely bar a few hours ago, in the pouring rain. I can't muster the desire to get dressed and go back out in this poo poo though. To be fair, I was stopping at the bike shop next door to get a new lens for my full face, which my roomate aparently got over spray on this weekend.

Edit2: apparently I suck at phones. How about two Hareys sitting in the garage, becase it's raining?
