70 degrees or so, Yammie and I went for a ride. Decided to see if I could get this challenge on such a beautiful day. Rode out to the Bay to find it gently lapping the shore. No no challenge for me but a nice ride anyway. Did I mention it was a beautiful day?

I've got a house right on Macajalar Bay, but it's all sand.

The tide comes in~~~

and the tide goes out~~~

Only crashes during a Bagyo (storm/typhoon).

So I'm out of this one too.

This challenge has been here for a while now and nobody has been close to the parameters set. When is it time for a new challenge?
Original challenge was issued Feb 15. It’s now March 5th, That’s 18 days.
I thought the agreed upon timeframe was 14 days?

Yep, 14 days. We sorta dropped the ball on this.

@New rider malta, since nobody was able to meet your challenge, please give us a new one. If nobody is able to meet your next challenge, it then goes back to the winner before you.

How long do we wait for a response? Just curious.

Shirley was waiting for her knight in shining armour. That did not work. Then she heard the Moody Blues song, Knights in white satin. She thought the words were Knights in white Saturns. Well I had a white Saturn ION, my good fortune.
Sold the car but Shirley is still with me.

Hurry up and wait, was a common expression. And there are a few movies about waiting. Mr Boodbar ?
Wait and wait for his steady date. Song by someone. The snow has mostly melted and Yami is ready for a ride.

New rider malta hasn't been here since 24/2. I propose that we include in the rules something to the effect that if a challenger does not issue a new challenge within two weeks, then the challenge reverts to the previous challenger.

We did this on another bike forum and it was fun. The intent is to get out and ride to complete the challenge before someone else does. All you need to do is take a picture of your bike with the challenge item in the background.

The rules here are simple. Be sure to note them before creating the next challenge for the rest of us.

1 - Has to be YOUR motorcycle.
2 - Picture has to be taken after challenge is made.
3 - Challenge is good for 2 weeks, if it is not met, the previous picture poster picks a new challenge.
4 - Nothing illegal to be challenged.
5 - Keep comments to a minimum, if you comment, post the current challenge after your comment. In Bold Italics
6 - No repeat challenges.
7 - All challenges must be of your bike and a landmark, something most people can ride to or find in their area.
8 - No other bikes can be used in a challenge, ie. your bike next to a Ducati. Some exceptions allowed, ie. you bike next to a bike cop.
9 - All challenges can be removed by moderators. At which point the postee of the challenge will be asked to change his current challenge. After being asked once and there is no change or challenger posts another crapy challenge then the prior challenge winner will pick a new one.
I think it is time to move on....

Alrighty then. Since @mike721 was the previous challenge poster, the challenge falls back to him. Mike, you're up.
Well this was an unexpected surprise.
I'll keep it simple to get this moving again, inspired by my recent run in with a local shop trying to get my car to pass state inspection.
New Challenge: Your bike with a (car) tire shop , with unmounted tires visible in the picture.

That’s weird! I rode over 3hrs today and passed probably 20 tire shops but NOT ONE met the requirement of “tires visible in the window.”
Plenty on racks outside in front of the window, but that’s it.

I just realized how obtuse I am. For some reason I read it as “visible in the window” not as written “visible in the picture”! ARRRGH! I could’ve had this 20 times over! 🤯
