Re: Bike Picture Game III
There are several suspension bridges constructed before 1891. The oldest still in service was constructed in 1839 and is in Pennsylvania, bit of a ride for a photo challenge.fixxervi6 wrote:CURRENT CHALLENGE

Re: Bike Picture Game III
Someone send me a PM saying that the one I found that's built in 1869 isn't it, but lonestar rides a triumph, so he obviously doesn't know any better, so 1869 it is!fixxervi6 wrote: 1869, hell that would make that the oldest one then, get a pic of that bad boy

Re: Bike Picture Game III
There is an article out there that says that about a specific bridge in the area so it may be wrong, but if someone wants to go to PA for a pic challenge I say game on!DarcShadow wrote:There are several suspension bridges constructed before 1891.

I just can't believe it was right off the main highway all these many years and I never knew it. Maybe there is something to be said for slowing down.

Can we NOT do challenges that are 5 minutes from Lonestar? I'm sensing a conspiracy with him leading on the points board here. LOL

Re: Bike Picture Game III
Funny...the easiest and closest one we had...take a picture of your bike next to a Harley, I missed. We have anywhere from 1-4 here daily. For the record I've done one more than an hour from my house, some were generic enough that they were close to anyone's house, and most of the others were 30-60 miles away from me.
The one advantage I might have is that fixxer told me what you win at the end, so maybe I've had more motivation.

Re: Bike Picture Game III
Give me your address and I'll stop by and get you when I head out for the next one (assuming El Presidente posts one this month). We'll employ the "buddy system". I'll bring a tow strap to so we can get your bike home if you'll bring a backpack so we can pick-up anything that falls off mine.stoney812 wrote:Can we NOT do challenges that are 5 minutes from Lonestar?

Sounds like a plan.. but first we must know what this month's challenge is going to be. Bike with a live turkey in the background?

Well I'd say a personnel elevator is more of an achievement that a freight elevator...kudos to you!
The question is, can you top the motorcycle / horse in a GLASS elevator as in True Lies?
