Pic

Photo of Yami and Inder side car in front of Tim Hortons is in my phone.
Have to figure how to get it out of the phone and on here. I can email it to myself and then what?

Yami

After you email it to yourself, open the email on your computer, save the picture to your hard drive then post it here.

I saved the picture, it is in the downloads department. Had trouble moving it here. I could use some help.

Windmill

There are many windmills on the prairies, used to pump water from the well.
There is one on my ex FIL property in Kelowna BC.

On a roll.

Inder side car again with some stuff.
If this works, I will try and get with the current theme.

Rough

Side car is sprung, has about the same amount of travel as the bike.
I took the seat out so I can load more gear. I adjust the tow in, so the bike goes straight at 75 mph. The steering is heavy on account of the bikes steering geometry. I could make some changes to make the steering lighter, but that would sacrifice straight line high speed running.
So I put up with the heavy steering. Need a bike with less rake.
Also have the wrong front tyre on Yami, and the side car wheel is canted in at the top. Will fix both of those later.

The ferry only charges me for the bike, so it is a good deal. I take up about the same amount of room as a really small car. Seniors are half price Monday to Thursday. WA ferry charges a bit more for the side car.
In BC at 65 the medical card changes from blue to gold in colour. I call it my status card. Flash that at the ticket counter and the price drops.

Tunnel

On the Island we call this the Tunnel. It is about 1 1/2 miles long.

CP page

MONI said:
That is beautiful Crusty. You should create an album on your CP page with more pics of your island. Many of us would sure enjoy it.

What is a CP page?
Shirley just showed me how to post a picture.
Took the tunnel pic today with my phone. I have a bunch of old photos, but I need to find them, and I need a scanner, or get them scanned by the pros.
There are no street lights on the Island, so at night it is as dark as the inside of a black cow. The trees tend to make it darker.
The Tim Hortons shot is on the big island.

Next

Lot of thinking happening here.
Next to a girl in a bikini, maybe not. Beside a 58 Chev, no. A yellow Vespa, maybe next time. So maybe one for the rural area.

Your bike and a Ford tractor in the picture. Bonus points for an early N series.

I will be riding close to an under a river tunnel next week.

Tractor

Well done Strom. Interesting place. Not an N series, but the tractor does have a flat tyre, and a mower ( bush hog ) on the back. The engine cover is up on the tractor, and the hood is up on the truck. Guy has some work to do.

Lunch truck

I am pleased you guys posted a translation. I was looking for a pink mobile with smoke coming out the windows.

Fast

We do not have any fast food joints on the Island. We have a few slow food places, and couple that are closed on Mondays, and some that are just closed.
Even on the mainland, be there Thursday, I can only think of a couple of places where there are two close to each other.

At least I can stop chasing pink hippie mobiles with smoke coming out the windows.

Zoom

So if I go to the bottom of my Island and do the zoom thing, on the city
( Vancouver ) on the other side of the Salish Sea about 20 miles away, I might get it all in.

Skyline

How about my bike, and a bimwubbleyu, and a ferry, plus some ocean, and a skyline.
This is Nanaimo, City of Sails, on Vancouver Island BC.
I am on the Gabriola ferry.

Unkle Crusty* And it was raining.

New challenge

I am going to assume my latest pic was acceptable.
New challenge:
Your bike with an animal sitting on the seat. Can be a dog or cat or whatever.
A bird would do.

Easy

I figured it would be an easy one. I could borrow the dog from across the street.

Challenge expired! Today is day 15

Wot, there is a time limit. I guess I would know if i read the rules.
New challenge: If you are a lady, a photo of a guy sitting on your bike. If you are not a lady, a photo of a lady sitting on your bike. Age is not a barrier for the model. No two up pictures allowed.

Animal

Biker Dash said:
Too late to count, but I DID IT!
(No one said that a STUFFED animal doesn't count! )

I see a lot of numbers but no picture of a stuffed animal on a bike.

Quick edit. It suddenly appeared. I think that is close enough. Let's skip my replacement challenge and give the next one to you. If that is okay with the others.

Picture

Well Bob, that is definitely a winning picture, complete with bonus points, for smiles, two up, blue sky, sharp bike. That is about as good as it gets IMO.

Unkle Crusty* And I am jealous, your bike is much cleaner and prettier than mine.
