North American Wild Card Moto-Tag Game

[mcatrophy]

... So, I wasted my time out riding around on a motorcycle. ...

I thought riding around on a motorcycle was the whole point ???

I believe that's called being facetious. Hence the

People who know me sometimes call it being a wiseass

Not been on my bike for a while . So I'm jealous.

OK. Finally found a sign with a 7 in it.

Have we done a dam yet? I realize now I should have gotten a better picture of the dam, but this is the best placement I could find for the bike and dam.

 

[user 213]

Dams it is then. Nice grab and new tag Old Guy. Thanks for moving the game along.

"Grab" the dam and new tag :

bike with grove,orchard vineyard etc. with fruit.

Most orchards around here (have three of them in town) aren't going to have much fruit this time of year.

I forgot it's not in the mid 70's everywhere

fruit could be frozen or plastic or bottled

So a grape orchard with a bottle of wine in the photo would qualify?

 

[whataboutbob]

good with me

I could do the "7" tag now. It's gonna be on my thermometer in the morning.

It was 12 at my house this morning. That's seriously cold for this part of the country.

 

[Fred W]

Got it...

The fruit is on the sign, instead of the vine. I assume that will be fine?

New tag: Find some structure made from dry or free stone masonry. The older the better.

What that structure is

Today we got a big break in the frigid temps. Soared to 40F for a bit, but will be dipping back down again tonight. Though I didn't even have to go out of my own town to get either of these two tags, I did just return from a 3 hour round trip to New Castle out on the the coast (for an ADVriders tag), so I don't feel too guilty about that!

 

[Old Guy]

Nicely done, Fred.

 

[Fred W]

Getting out for a ride on 2/2 is nicer than you can imagine.

My PMS has been slightly lessened.

I've been experiencing a lot of lower back pain lately, even this morning (I know, who doesn't have lower back pain?).

But you know what? It feels much better right now!

 

[Old Guy]

I have degenerative disk disease in my lower back and couldn't ride my Goldwing more than a couple of hundred miles without a back brace. I noticed that my ZRX didn't hurt my back, probably because of the forward lean. So I checked the ergonomics of the FJR against the ZRX and discovered that the forward lean is the same with a little more leg room. I've now got 13,000 miles on the FJR and have not worn the back brace once. That included 1500 miles in 36 hours last June.

So yes, I believe the lower back pain is better now.

"The fruit is on the sign, instead of the vine. I assume that will be fine?'' no vine but sign it's fine

Grab - some structure made from dry or free stone masonry.

Retaining walls

Free standing walls from volcanic stone

New Tag - A coin op kiddie ride

 

[Fred W]

Wow, that was quick!

Damn, though, all the kiddie rides (like most sane people's bikes) have been put away for the winter.

PS - Looks like you've got that S10 all set for the IBR. But how do you keep the miscreants from stealing your giant Maglight?

 

[user 213]

I was heading out to grab that pesky orchard, had an orange to take with me and all, but checked the forum first and saw that it had changed, so left the orange for lunch later and went looking for free built stone things.

I rode the IBR last year on that bike, pretty much as you see it there. (I had a second GPS mounted up by the screen). I found the kiddie ride at one of the local Family Dollar stores. I'll change it if nothing happens or peeps qualify it as not common enough. I have a couple others from that ride for potential new tags.

edit - Mag lights are cheap enough that no one seems to bother with it. The glass breaker end cap cost more than the flashlight! I used to carry an old black one, which was more stealth, but the glass breaker tip wouldn't thread into it. (Older gen.) I toss a bike cover on when parking at hotels.

 

[Fred W]

We do get a 4 hour head start on you left coasters.

I'd just leave it. Someone will find a kiddie ride. But don't be surprised if I post up a Maple Sugar house next time.

 

[user 213]

I'll have to go to Nevada for a sugar house, but I don't think any of the girls are named Maple...
