This doesn't really fit any category, so I started it here in Fun Stuff and the Mods can move it if they feel the need.
For all of you looking for a little something different-
For a reason to go riding that can be down the street, or as far as you want it to be --
Here is a game that you can play every day, (if we keep it rolling). Its a WILD CARD TAG.
The premise is very much like other tag games, but I'll give you an example.
Say the current tag is a water tower, I post a pic of my bike under a water tower and and call it "Water towers" or or just specify that the Tag is "your bike and a water tower". The person starting the new Tag gets to specify what must be in the picture and is judge of what qualifies if there is a question about a tag.
The First person to post a pic of their bike and a water tower, (a "Grab" gets the new tag and gets to choose what the new tag is.
It should be able to move around VERY quickly, as there is probably a lot of things near you that are similarly near other people. Maybe even in your back yard! Try to make the tag something that most anyone can get in North America. A bus is good, a Pink Bus, not so much. For winter, keep the tags easier, but as things warm up we can move to more interesting tags that may be more difficult to get or require a longer ride.
Check out the Empire State version of this game for a more detailed example.

Rules borrowed from another game:
North American Wild Card Tag Game
The point of the Wild Card tag is to reproduce a similar photo of an object or place that can be found in many different locations around North America. Much like a scavenger hunt, examples include specific street signs, a railway crossing with train, yourself at a toll booth with reciept, etc.... Get creative
Rules are easy...
1. Find a SIMILAR tag and reproduce the photo (as best as possible). Take the tag to a new location, get the photo and post it here.
2. Upon posting your new tag, the tagger is responsible for specifying what it is in the photo that must be reproduced. Be specific, but not so specific that no one else will be able to play because we couldn't find another pink school bus.
* Try to place the tags in interesting locations, objects or places that could probably be found in at least the majority of the continent.
3. Tag must be: a) Common amongst North America &
not placed on a trail or seasonal road. Dirt is ok, but remember some of us are on street bikes.
* Maintained gravel is OK, but make sure to let folks know that gravel is required to get to your tag. We don't want to exclude those who don't like to get dirty.
4. The first person to post a found tag gets to place the next tag. If you get a tag, but somebody else posts their picture first, you lose.
5. One tag at a time within thread. File photos are NOT permitted. You gotta ride to play this game.
6. No whining There are plenty of folks here that will help you understand the rules
7. The holder of the tag determines if the tag has been duplicated and acknowledges it by posting on the thread. (Surrendering the Tag)
8. No Pre-Arranged Tag Handoffs / Linear Tag sequence
9. The motorcycle in the picture must get to the tag location under its own power and be ridden there by you.
10. Last but not least, should the tag be soo ridiculous that no one is able to reproduce it, it can be voted down if a majority of the active participants feel necessary.
Added rules:
11. Don't post a 'Grab' unless you have a new 'Tag' picture ready to go. This avoids other players losing riding time while you go find a new tag pic. Have one ready when you post your grab pic.
12. 2 by 2 rule: After a player has grabbed a tag and posted a new one, that player is not eligible to grab the next placed tag unless the tag has sat for two days or longer. This one keeps the game from being monopolized by a couple of players and gives more people (with real lives) a chance to participate.
Remember, the point of this is not to win the game, or get a better picture than the guy who just bruced you, the point is the ride. On that note, if someone tags a post office. Rather than get out and ride a block to my local post office, I might ride an hour or so, out to the historic post office a few towns over.... Make it interesting. Use your imagination, almost anything can be a Tag.
I will make the first one easy, but its a file photo...
TAG: Your bike and water. Can be lake, fountain, pool, stream, what ever. Frozen or liquid.
Now someone go Grab this and post your Grab, and a new Tag!
