You bet it will! I used to have the long uphill driveway thing giong. I don't miss it. Please join in when you can get out. Karen and I have had a ball, and put on lots of miles just going to look for some goofy thing that was the current target here. Hopefully this thread will start moving soon, what with spring coming and all. I've set my own other target for this trip I'm starting today. I'll post a of the first ROBIN I find as I head south. Have Fun, Scooter Bob The current target still is..... You and your bike with a beach in the background. Prefer warm and sunny with sand and blue water, but so everyone can play, I will settle for hard water and snow covered sand as well. Have fun with it... BONUS...I'll buy you a beer at the international if you're wearing your (or anybody else's) swimming suit. by Scooter Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Bob Posted March 4, 2010 Share #853 Posted March 4, 2010 It's been a month and a half now... Ok folks, Here's the deal....I plan on riding from here to Daytona, leaving out on the 24th, weather permitting (ie.. no snowstorms or icestorms along the way). If I make the beach, and nobody has scored the target yet, I'll break the rules and score my own target, and then set a new one. You got a week and a half guys, let's play Later, Scooter Bob The current target still is.... You and your bike with a beach in the background.

If you look real close, you can see Africa... Way to cold for the swim suit though, for me and everyone else..

Scooter Bob Posted March 4, 2010 Share #854 Posted March 4, 2010 A picture of you and your bike in front of a little country church. Kinda like this one outside my motel window..Never mind, can't get it to upload. Good Luck, Scooter Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynodon Posted March 4, 2010 Share #855 Posted March 4, 2010 Nice Picture Bob, and a great choice for a new target. I have several candidates near me, but will hold off so someone else can play. Remember, if you have a problem getting the picture because nobody else is around, you can do what I and others have done, use your mirror to get YOU in the picture while you shoot the front of the bike and the target....meets the spirit of the rules and makes it easier for one person without a tri-pod and timer camera to get the shot! Also don't have to get off the bike. But you get extra points and pay for beauty and landscape etc. Just don't expect the check in the mail real soon!

painterman67 Posted March 21, 2010 Share #860 Posted March 21, 2010 ok I got one. If evrybody agrees then I say the new target should be you your bike and field with horses and or cows etc. My beautiful wife wanted to ride today inspite of the pending rain and to top it off she wanted to ride double on mine so she could take pics. Just so I didint fill like I was cheating we took a 100 mile round trip with the pics of the church at the end of the ride. Being that this church is one block from me.

Scooter Bob Posted March 21, 2010 Share #861 Posted March 21, 2010 Congratulations! That works for me. Let's get this Scavenger Hunt moving good again everyone. Now, if I only had my scoot back from the shop, it's over 50 degrees and sunny:sun1: right now and I'm stuck here:bang head: instead of riding around looking for cows and horses.

showmebob Posted March 22, 2010 Share #862 Posted March 22, 2010 Does a horse in the barnyard count, i got one here but this is to easy, I dont get to ride no where, think i will pass on this one and wait for something I got to ride 50 miles for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Bob Posted March 22, 2010 Share #863 Posted March 22, 2010 think i will pass on this one and wait for something I got to ride 50 miles for You can always ride 50 miles and then take off the blindfold :sign just kidding:and start looking for horses or cows. A target last year about this time was a business with a "X" in the name. Way to easy to find that in Fox Lake, WI; so we rode 110 miles south to Fox Lake, IL and started looking there.

dynodon Posted March 22, 2010 Share #864 Posted March 22, 2010 right behind me out the back door is our pasture with horses, could get the pic without starting the bike....but I won't. IF I see one farther from home, I will take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painterman67 Posted March 26, 2010 Share #865 Posted March 26, 2010 thats why I went for a 100 mile round trip just to take a pic one block from my house. Also set the bar kinda easy to get over to give this thread a kick in the pants. HOpe it gets goping soon so I can start looking again. for now Im just ridding.

straycatt Posted March 27, 2010 Share #866 Posted March 27, 2010 A field full of cows?.......... A couple of years ago I was out for a ride a few miles from the house. The road is a small paved two lane, ditch on each side, then a fence enclosing pasture land. I'm tooling along when I notice half a mile up ahead the road is all black.....what is that? As I get closer, I start passing the stragglers and have to stop. The road is completely blocked by 2 or 3 hundred dairy cows that have escaped the farm back up the road a ways. I'm setting there on my bike trying to figure out what happens next, when I notice in my mirror a large quad coming up behind at a fast clip. It's the farmer (or cowboy) come to reclaim his wayward flock. He passes me, goes down into the ditch and makes his way to the head end of the pack. I'm thinking, hey this is interesting I wonder what he's going to do? Bear in mind that I'm still sitting on a motorcycle in the middle of the spot that all of those large mobile milk bottles just came through. This reality had NOT dawned on me quite yet. About this time John Wayne has made it to the front of the herd, has parked his four wheeler sideways in the road and is standing on the seat waving his arms and yelling something that I can only assume is "baaad cows, get home!!!". Well, whatever he yelled, worked. On his command 200 cows turned around as one, and headed home. At top speed. With only one obstacle between them and the barn. It's strange the things that go through your mind when there's several hundred tons of portable Big Macs bearing down on you........TURN AROUND AND RIDE LIKE THE WIND. Nope, too late. JUMP. Abandon the bike and head for the fence. Again a trifle tardy for that one too. I wonder if this will hurt, HEY, I bet this will make the paper tomorrow. Cool. No not cool, you don't want to be that guy......Oh crap they're here! I'm sitting there trying to make my self real small (you know, like a real small guy) and wondering if my scoot will be ridable when it's over, when a strange thing happened. The herd parted like water in a Cecil B Demille movie and went right around me. Neither the bike nor I got so much as a bump. The cows moo their way past followed by the farmer and his quad. I pry the bike seat out of my crack and continue to have a great ride. But, after that experience, I am NOT going out purposely looking for cows. I figure a guy can only be so lucky, and I'm not pushing it. Don't even get me started on the two years that I spent working at an American Saddlebred horse ranch.

Scooter Bob Posted March 28, 2010 Share #868 Posted March 28, 2010 I'll be going on a ride to Fond du lac and back today. Plenty of country scenery along the way.

painterman67 Posted March 28, 2010 Share #869 Posted March 28, 2010 Now I never sadi it had to be a whole heard just a few will do for me. I just dont want to be the only one out there ridding. And besides , as I rode the back roads that my wife wanted pics on all I seen was cows everywhere and a few horses too. Great story about the loose cows in the road. I know how oyu felt ............sorta. The wife and I were ridding and we had to come to a complete stop one day on a back road when a bull chased 2 deer over the fence and into the road. The deer ran off but the bull just set there and lowerd his head at us and pawed the road. Can yoou say puckerd? luckily he decided we werent worth his time and walked back through the gate he destroyed. Oh yeah forgot to say ,the deer jumped the fence gate he ran through it. So get out and ride and enjoy the time we are here. Who knows one day when you are waiving at that 1st gen following a honda shadow. The wife and I might be the ones waving back. david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynodon Posted March 28, 2010 Share #870 Posted March 28, 2010 Last two days I rode past the same pasture with cows in it. Thought about stopping but didn't, traffic was a bit high, and no place to pull over. Great story about the herd. Did you have to dodge a bunch of cow pies when leaving? Had a great ride with my older son yesterday. I am teaching him to find the "cow paths" as one person I know calls them, and he led yesterday and we had a wonderful ride, ending up at a favorite local place for desert (forget dinner, go for the calories right off the bat!). Raining today, but next week seems like a winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest seuadr Posted March 28, 2010 Share #871 Posted March 28, 2010 i got cows up the road and horses across the street, but the venture is out of commission at the moment. it'd feel like cheating to roll it out and take the picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Bob Posted March 29, 2010 Share #872 Posted March 29, 2010 the new target should be you your bike and field with horses and or cows etc. Was the emphasis on the animals or the field? Did 120 miles today to help a fellow member with some wrenchin', and he only lives 30 miles from here. I was just wandering around lookin' for the right photo op, but nothing was going to make a good picture. So I settled for a farm a half mile from home, and they're in a feed lot, not exactly a field. Your call David. If you like it, the next target is... A picture of you and your bike and the Easter Bunny. Can be live, in costume, inflatable or solid ornament, doesn't matter just an Easter Bunny. Unless your DynoDon, then it has to be an Easter Bunny in Kentucky. Later, Scooter Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynodon Posted March 29, 2010 Share #873 Posted March 29, 2010 I say the feed lot is A-OK. beef on the hoof! KY huh? Well, I wasn't going to nail the Easter Bunny thing too easily, they don't allow bikes inside churches here, and the city isn't all into Bunny decorations! Why not make it a hard one, like you and your bike balanced on top of a 200 foot TV tower? (caution, thread hijack momentarily) So Scooter....we gonna do the May 1st IA event? I am pretty sure I and some others from our local STAR group will go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
