Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By centrarchidae: The picture is from about three minutes before I posted it. Right, but it was before the target was modified or an alternate target given. You're asking if a tunnel could be modified to an overpass, if it were allowed, you'd need to photograph the bike after it was allowed. |

Your bike and a railroad crossing emergency sign. The sign must be fully legible. How about a new rule? After X days the target poster is eligible to photograph the target and claim the point.

How about in times like these, we pass the time with pics of our bikes with our latest upgrades...
 Attached FileFrom 52 to a 48-tooth sprocket to do a bit better on the roads. It loves 55-60mph now. ( I don't like screaming the engine on 65-70mph hwy ) New front rotor and Enduro Engineering rotor guard. I rode the dirt with a slightly bent rotor for WAY too long. It didn't have a rotor guard... Saddle Bags - Waterproof, but I don't like them on tight trails! $70 Windscreen - For the cool factor mainly. Local dealer wanted $250... ETA: Forgot about the phone holder. ( RAM style ) |

I'd vote (if I had one) we have enough rules.
I don't really care about winning. I just like playing the game. So I try to pick relatively common targets to keep it moving along I doubt a midwest rider will win anyway due to the short riding season. |

I've been tooling around town and taking back roads for a few hours on an early Saturday morning from time to time since then. 2012 350 XCF-W Fuel Injected. I added the street legal stuff, to include front and rear brake actuators. There are LED turn signals in the hand guards (I added them) and the rear signals are tucked in real tight. I've been beating it up and having fun with it since Fall 2018. |

Past few weeks been either heat index in the 90's or some 'specialty target' like a regional one. So they be chillin in the corner. DRZ has a strange front brake goes spongy and weak after sitting a few weeks so bled it out.
Getting ready to paint and then put up metal wainscoting 5' up the walls in the garage but have been waiting to jump on the bike to claim my 2nd find of the whole year  |

I have a rail emergency sign and a old abandoned school builiding with a 1870's high school masonry sign embedded in in the brick within 6 minutes of the house. |
