My challenge, since I'm now going to get an expensive coffee from Monmouth Coffee in borough market is as follows:

:siren: take a picture outside a hip urban coffee shop with an espresso based beverage :siren:

if you haven't got one of those, I guess a Tim Hortons will have to do!

Monmouth is awesome..

Is it expensive really? The one on Monmouth street is 1.80 for a double espresso/macchiato which is the same as starbucks and the other unmentionables.

2.35 for a filter coffee, so not massively expensive, but still about a pound more than a sb filter and you get less, but yeah Monmouth is still awesome. An island of good coffee in a nation of instant drinkers. Their whole beans are excellent. If you're in borough market and after a coffee though, I highly recommend getting a mocha from rabot estate. It is loving delicious. Usually less busy than Monmouth too.

That is a cool boat. Thanks for skipping the rowboat.

Of all days for me to not ride into work, a coffee shop challenge? I'm in Seattle, goddamnit. I can't even count how many I pass on my (2.5 mile) ride to work. My office is a mile away from Starbucks HQ :argh:

650 single, shared with various Yamahas and other smaller makes. It makes about 50HP and kicks rear end for urban riding and country lanes.

I think just putting it in sirens in the post itself is fine. Personally I like seeing all the duplicates in this kind of game because you see different interpretations of the same thing.

I went out to the most hipster coffee place I know of in this part of Connecticut. Beaten, but gently caress if I'm not posting the pic since I went through all the effort and bought a dumb coffee for this dumb forum. I also got to hit up the twisties near this place, though, so it's all good.

You're probably better off finding a smaller airport/airfield because you'd be able to get right up to the fence and be in sight of the flight line and such.

If you go on google maps, you might be surprised at how many little airfields there are in the area around your city. It's quite common to find uncontrolled airfields that are little more than a packed grass strip for glider pilots to recover on, for instance.

Sup Sodo buddy, new dispensary just opened up on 4th and Orcas. Can't wait to get one then require a picture with both a dispensary AND a coffee shop connected to each other.

Also, glad I didn't ride today, holy gently caress is it ever raining. I'd love to take a picture at Boeing field, though.

I end up there pretty often for scooter events, the owner is involved in Vespa Club of Seattle. I love the crystal ball P/PX occasionally parked inside, but the establishment itself is pretty underwhelming.

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.

To a lesser extent, I was thinking of doing "your bike taking a nap in the grass" to weed out the scaredy-cats who don't want to tip their bike over and pick it back up.

Laidley Hotel is a pub/bar with lodging so I think it's a Tavern as well.

The old building behind the horse is also a pub - sort of.
