of the side?


I'll ask the hits owner for more photos, and if its not mind that I post on this forum

Anything you can get! I've seen very few pictures of FJRs with a sidecar.

@gapiob - Welcome to the tag game. Nice pictures, and that would have worked fine for the tag of three items, but that was already grabbed and we have moved on. The fellows are just having some fun with the three items idea.

The current tag should also be an easy one for you to grab.

It is now "your bike with blooming flowers, shrubs and trees not allowed. Must be bulbs or flowers"

I look forward to seeing more pictures from your riding area.

Lets try to keep this thread somewhat on topic for the tag game. Perhaps start a new thread for FJR Side car pics. If you go to Google images and put in "FJR sidecar" w/o the quotes you will see hundreds of FJR sidecar pics. Some production versions and some very cool one offs too. Leading link front suspension, etc. That will take you down the rabbit hole for hours exploring different sites.

oups, sorry, I haven't see the new tag. In fact, I post this picture for the 3 same objects.

Tagged....hopefully this will work....lol.

And the new tag is anything that has made your little area of the world a little more famous place.

You may remember this place from the show Moonshiners on Discovery Channel. This is where Josh, Barney Barnwell lived and moonshined. From the show....."Josh learned everything he knows about 'shining from friend, moonshiner, and musician Barney Barnwell. His goal is to carry on Barney's legacy." Barney passed away back in 2011 but was quite a character (He had a possum for a pet!!). Barnwell formed the Plum Hollow Band in 1975 and started putting out records with such titles as “Campbeller” and “Who in the World Wants to Be a Hippie.” The band went on the road with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and opened for a wide range of acclaimed country, bluegrass and rock ‘n' roll artists. They still hold the 24th Annual Moonshiners Reunion Oct. 6-8, 2016 in case anyone is interested! The Address: 5015 Rainbow Lake Rd, Campobello, SC 29322 LOL .....I've never been but I'm sure it must be hoot to say the least!!

Okay, first off the tag I got Bruced on a couple weeks back. I stopped by a nearby ski resort to get the gravity propelled recreational activity but never got a follow up.

 

[BkerChuck]

Current tag; something that makes your area famous. I couldn't decide because I have a couple of good ideas for this. I'm posting both. First up it's been a little over 37 years since this place made national if not international news for being the closest our country has ever come to a nuclear disaster. The cooling towers you see behind my bike are Three Mile Island. Officially located closer to Middletown, PA my pic is taken from the other side of the river in Goldsboro, PA. By road this is less than 5 miles from my house. As the fallout would fly less than 2. If this ever goes, I'll be the guy at EOM who glows in the dark sporting 3 testilcles.

My other choice for those of you who followed last years Little League World Series. The United States Champions were the team from Red Land. Problem is that there is no town of Red Land. First pic is the area high school where in a couple more years those boys will be tough to beat. Second pic is the closest town that they actually hail from. Mentioned several times during the series broadcast this is a real "don't blink or you'll miss it" kind of town.

Your challenge should you choose to accept it; Your bike with a sculpture made from the remains of a tree stump. Fairly common here in central PA quite often when a tree is damaged or needs cut down property owners have local chainsaw artists come in and make something artful out of what is left.

Hmmm... we have local chainsaw artists that do carvings, but they usually cut them free of the tree and do not usually leave them on the stump. Would that pass muster? Not sure anyone leaves them on the stump except in Pensy.

 

[user 213]

This is a somewhat regional tag. I live in the desert, for example, and finding a stump carving around here would be very rare. Eastern woods, GA, or PacNorWest no problem. Even NorCal would be pretty reasonable, but mid-west or across the desert SW, pretty slim. Let's give it a week and see if someone can get the tag before we change it.

Google Stump Carvings in {your area} and you may be surprised to find something reasonably local. I found some Tiki carvings about 35 miles from me. I may or may not get a chance to ride there and snag the tag.

This might help too: https://chainsawsculptors.com/Buddy_Carver.htm

 

[BkerChuck]

I was a little concerned this could be too regional. A friend visiting from Texas said he's never seen them in his area. I say after a week any chainsaw carving is cool.

 

[user 213]

Grab - Your bike with a sculpture made from the remains of a tree stump. (palm tree, in this case)

New Tag - A cave or tunnel entrance. Man or Nature made.

 

[Fred W]

Nice. And you got the wee out for a romp!

 

[BkerChuck]

This didn't take long at all. Nice grab.

 

[user 213]

Nice. And you got the wee out for a romp!

Yeah, blew the dust off and unplugged it from the Optimate and she fired right up. I'd forgotten how high that little beast revs compared to the bigger Super Ten. Doing some maintenance on the Super Ten, so good to get some zoom zoom time on the Wee.

 

[user 213]

Bump, Cave or Tunnel entrance - OR the word Cave or Tunnel on a sign.

 

[user 213]

Bump - It can't still be snowing everywhere!

 

[ericboutin]

Dang it!! I got the tag for this thing but I need a new tag!! LOL....I got the tag coming home from Griff's wreck/teck day, I will try to get a new tag to post tomorrow...hopefully I won't be bruced!!

 

[DeSudet]

I've got both, just that the nearest tunnel or cave to me that actually will allow a motorcycle near enough to (safely) take a photo is 3 hours away and life hasn't been cooperating. Had a decent (I think, at least) new one planned too, and that one isn't so far from me. Looking forward to what you come up with, Eric!

 

[ericboutin]

Ok the grab. This is the entrance or hell it might be an exit...I got nothin.....anyway the stairway to the right leads to a private residence. We have no idea if this tunnel is some kind of escape route from the house or what?? Or for that matter where it goes and what it's for?? This thing has been puzzling us for years!!

And now the new grab for all ya'll.......and I'm going to apologize in advance for my lack of originality with this new grab. I was headed out to a cafe way out in the middle of nowhere that supposed to have amazing food......well it was closed on Monday's!! Dang it! So I was close to this thing and running out of time so here it is......I know a water tower has been done before albeit not in a while I think. So this is the Peach-oid in Gaffney, SC. It got a makeover a couple years back and yes it looks like a big butt with a hemorrhoid.....shoulda seen it before the makeover.........anyway I think the new grab is self explanatory.....Yes a water tower with some kind of disease or sickness protruding from it!......nah any ole water tower will do.....the more interesting the better though.....
