Linedance posted:Does an air<i>port</i> count? I guess even if it did I'd somehow have to get airside which would be impossible... 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.

Jabs posted:'challenge board' I wholeheartedly support this. Keep the same "first person to do it picks the next one" but you can continue to post submissions for any of the challenges from the previous week. If you wanted to get extra fancy you could also have a leaderboard of who has completed the most challenges in the current week, and the winner each week picks the initial topic for the next week. This way people who have to work and can't just jump to the nearest laundromat in 30 minutes still have an opportunity to win things by going on a weekend ride and collecting as many as they can. Right? [e] if it goes that way, it could become confusing trying to figure out what the most recent challenge is since people will be posting pictures of all different subjects. So I would recommend that if you are the first person to complete a challenge (scroll back and see), then post it in sirens with the next challenge in bold below it...but if you are just making a submission, put it in regular text with some other unusual emoticon or something.  I completed post your bike on the killing floor of a slaughterhouse! (pic) the next topic is your bike inside the large hadron collider I also completed  your bike on the roof (pic) your bike in a subway tunnel (pic)How would that be?

Ponies ate my Bagel posted:If you take the pic from the street I don't think anyone can actually say poo poo. If you're on his property I think he can tell you to get off but that's about it. You can take a picture of anything you can see while standing on public (or your own) property. There are two main exceptions: first, things that have some relevance to national security, which used to basically mean military bases and some government buildings but post-PATRIOT act can include anything from oil refineries to freeway overpasses; and second, areas in which a person has "a reasonable expectation of privacy", such as in their bedroom window. As usual, enforcement depends on how pissy the cop is and how brown you are. The parking lot he was in was likely private property, but even in that case the worst the property owner can do is ask you to leave. And if you're standing on a public sidewalk you can take as many pics as you please (until you get beaten up).

Since you're all a bunch of lazy fucks, you get this parking garage. I was hoping for someone with a DRZ and access to a service elevator to show up on top of a skyscraper or something but ya snooze, ya lose. An easier one, to get this thing going again: Your bike with a piece of heavy machinery. A heavy-duty pickup truck is not an acceptable response. Farm equipment, backhoes, cranes, stationary engines, whatever you like, but the bigger and more unique the better. An ideal response to this challenge would be the Bagger 288.

Hm. I'm not sure that Honda made any air-cooled scrambler or dual-sport twins in 1992. I guess a CB400 would be the closest to a CL350? But that doesn't look anything like a '71 CL350. If I were in the UK I could look for one of these, which is a few years too new but is definitely an updated CL350 in spirit.

CloFan posted:Either that or find an 80 year old bike It's a 1998-2008 CL400. Based on the XR400 or something -- it's actually a single with exhaust pipes from each valve, I guess. It appears to be Japan-only with very rare European imports. I really like the look of it, the pipe design especially, but I doubt I'll ever find one.

I think Mao did fine. I thought the point of the riding game was to give people a reason to go somewhere they'd never gone before. So you request landmarks, geographical features, industries, that sort of thing. Things you can locate and then ride out to. The "Welcome To..." challenge is great because it encourages you to ride out to the largest border you can get to. "Find [very specific motorcycle]" is a really hard challenge to accomplish because you have no idea where to go to find one, so you just have to sort of chance upon one parked on the street, and that's only if you have a bike that's reasonably common in the first place. I like the idea of finding "your bike's younger brother" or whatever, and it's your prerogative to pick the challenge you want, but just saying it's not really the most entertaining one in practice.

Ah, but he wants half the age! a '73 is 39 years old so you have to find something that is 19.5 years old -- a 1992-3 model. (post the pic anyway)

Slim Pickens posted:Eight-douche is almost as bad as the marines when it comes to having a huge ego to go along with a poo poo job and unit. Congrats dude, you learned how to fall out of an airplane. You're pretty special for passing a course with a lower attrition rate than most high schools. What is the attrition rate, exactly? I remember seeing a poster years ago claiming that across the whole USA, high school trajectories sort of split evenly into four paths: 25% to university, 25% to community college, 25% straight into the workforce, and 25% drop out before graduating. I'm surprised if 75% of the people who enter the airborne corps pass it. I'd heard it was supposed to be super hard.

I found a tank near the entrance to the army base, but was yelled at by an MP because apparently it's some kind of monument and I was disrespecting it by moving my bike up close for the photo. I theorize that he was just being a dickweed but in the event that it is indeed disrespectful to some dead soldiers I won't post the picture.

That's really pretty. Where are you located? I can't tell from your license plate. CloFan posted:Fun ride nonetheless, I got to ride on gravel/dirt for the first time... kinda scary. Felt like I was gonna dump at any minute. What sort of tires are you running? I have 80/20 dual sport tires...I discovered a huge sand pit yesterday and had a blast scooting around in that shooting a giant rooster tail with the rear end sliding all over the place. CL350s seem pretty heavy compared to a real dirt bike, but as long as you keep up your momentum on the soft stuff you might be surprised at where you can get. I think I actually have more fun on gravel, sand and grass than on the twistiest pavement.

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. 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.
