Next Challenge, Your Bike... On that old guys lawn (Retirement Home/Assisted living Center)

 

What if I'm that old guy?

 

do you collect social security yet?

 

Not on the lawn so don't count if you don't want to. I try to respect private property, especially at these types of places.

If it counts, next is your bike on the border of two cities where the pavement changes to a different kind. You know what I mean.

 

You're good, I was just having fun with words. I'm guessing you're looking for a Now Entering "blank" county/city (road sign not the big city greeting sign)

 

Nah park your bike near where the two different types of pavement meet.

Maybe I'm thinking of state borders, but I'm pretty sure some city borders have noticeably different pavement as well.

 

usually when you cross counties its like that too, especially on the freeway.

 

Can I join the ride game?

Forgive me if I didn't search enough, but I didn't see a "New Members" section here so I'll do a quick one here. Was on the forums years ago when I had a few 240s but haven't been on in ages. Being as I've spent more time behind handlebars over the past few years I wanted to be active on this forum but start fresh. I live in Gates County NC not far from Sandbanks and I have been creeping this thread for a while and really wanted to get involved. I have had a couple Shadows, CBR, a bobber for a spell, but I have always wanted a dual sport being as I spend a lot of time on dirt bikes and (mostly) quads in the dirt. What I really wanted was a DRZ-400 but being young trying to work my way up career wise and having an extremely limited budget pretty much ruled that out.

Living in a rural area where the only people that ride either have sport bikes and stretch them and ride the highways creeping around curves or buy Harleys and polish them all the time, a dual sport wouldn't be much fun anyway because none of my buddies ever had street legal bikes. Finally, my closest friend and long time riding buddy wanted to get a street legal bike and I talked him into a dual sport so, being more comfortable than myself financially speaking, went out and bought a brand new CRF250L. Awesome bike, but being I can't afford another payment right now I jumped on Craigslist like I usually do and looked for something cheap but ready to ride. I ended up with a '79 Honda XL500S. It's ugly as hell, kick start, six volt, drum brakes, rattles and ticks, but it's a blast to ride. It had the Clarke tank on it when I bought it; all I have done is replaced the ugly flat flimsy front fender with one I found in a pile of parts for sale on the way to Busco recently.

Anyway, really looking forward to riding up into the 757 and meeting some more folks into the dual sport/supermoto scene. (My apologies for the life story.)

I don't want this to count as an attempt to complete the challenge but I snapped a few on the state line (I know it said city) from our ride today. Perfect weather. (Mine is the ugly one.)

 

I`de say that totally counts as a challenge completed since state borders had been mentioned previously. If i were you i`de go ahead and come up with the next challenge....especially since i just got my bike mobile today and have a certain ride game itch that needs a scratchin. I been doing all those "at home" challenges lately.

Turn your rep on and welcome to ride game.

 

Thanks! The rep thing is new to me; I selected "show rep." Is that it?

Damn my lack of creativity whence challenging others... What types of bikes are you guys riding? Where are you located? These should help me come up with better challenges so I don't end up being the dick that lives out in the country and always makes challenges that the guys with real jobs in more populated areas can't complete.

Like this one if this counts: Your bike on a dirt road. I have learned that some people feel the need to call them "rock roads." Rock or dirt, as long as it's a non-paved state maintained road.

I wanted to go with your bike on a boat ramp touching/in the water, but I saw it was already done.
