Kawasaki Scavenger Hunt...Who wants to play?

[jagugator]

Ok I tried this on another forum I frequent but for some reason no one is biting. I will put it here and see what kind of interest there is.

Since the weather is finally cooperating and we are all out on the road I'm proposing that we do a photo scavenger hunt involving our motorcycles. I have seen this done on other forums and I thought it was pretty cool, plus we get to get out and meet some new people and show off our motorcycles with the thing we seem to like the most...pictures.

If you are playing you must be the first to take a picture of your motorcycle with the target and post it to win. No old photos allowed, the pics must be current! We will go on the honor system.

The winner will then post a new hunt, and it's Game On again!

The targets must involve the motorcycle in the photo in some way.
Please keep the targets legal, rated G or PG-13 and something all riders everywhere can do. The idea is to have fun and be creative.

Rules:

1- No photoshopping allowed.
2- Pictures can only be used once. Each target requires a new picture.
3- No old pictures (past rallies, vacations, etc).
4- All targets must be in the same picture.
5- The first correct picture posted after the target is posted is the winner.
6- If you win, you get to pick the next target/hunt (use your imagination).

Sooooo....with that in mind, here is the first target/hunt:

Target #1:

Take a picture of yourself, your bike, and a fully uniformed Military member, all together. If you are in the military, you have to get a buddy with you in the pic. Any military service (Army, Navy, Coastie, etc), and any country is okay as long as they are in uniform!

Now lets get out and have some fun and go get your pic.

Oh yea if I put this in the wrong spot forgive me and Mods please feel free to move it where it should go.

Jag, it sounds like a fun game. I don't know any military people, or even where a recruitment center is, so I don't think I'll be a winner on this one, but I'm game to play.

[josh]

hmmmmm wonder if scrubs would count, I have a appointment at the va hospital friday for some routine stuff

[lw]

Cool idea. I've seen it on nother board some time back.

My "scavenger hunt" for the trip to Custer & beyond will be the Red Knights "Grand Tour". To successfully complete, requires photo of rider & bike in front of fire stations of locations beginning with the first letter of the word GRAND TOUR within a single riding season. A variant to Grand Tour is RED KNIGHT. I figure I'll pass enough places to cover both versions. The prize after submitting application and photo documentation is a commemorative pin .

[bkmaxvrb]

Dmamn, this DOES sound like a cool thing to do. Only one problem for me...I'm really getting crapped on lately....Even when I get my bike back from the shop in a couple of days, I won't be able to ride.

My left shoulder is really screwed up...most likely the rotator cuff. I'm probably out for awhile but, won't know until Friday at teh earliest. Having an MRI tomorrow afternoon, the doc will see me after that. First the tank now this!! Since things happen in three's what's next?

[nomad561]

Sounds like a fun game. You guys will have to keep this going until I get back on day shift so I can get in on it.

[unwind2]

I'm in! Let's see...my son is in the Army wonder when next he'll be home???????

[phenrichs]

One of my best buds is Army. Are we talking Dress Blues or is camo sufficient?

[jagugator]

Any uniform will be fine so long as he/she is in the complete uniform including cover.

Can't wait to see the picture.

[dantama]

Get ready for mine when I win! hmmm....Bike on cliff at least 200 feet high!

[audiogooroo]

Sounds fun. I may have to jump in when I get back. Working on the road for the next 3weeks...away from my Nomad. :-/

[cactusjack]

Jag, it sounds like a fun game. I don't know any military people, or even where a recruitment center is, so I don't think I'll be a winner on this one, but I'm game to play.

Dan has several pictures of men in uniform. Just not military uniforms.

[krt]

I'm in. Sounds like a reason to ride.

[jagugator]

Well lets do it. We are on the third target on the other board and it is pretty fun so far.

[Jared]

No one has posted a pic yet?

[jagugator]

Still waiting! Someone should get it within the next few days.

[glwilson]

I won't be able to get a picture with someone in the military until May 30th at the earliest; and that is only if I ride my bike on that day.

May have to do that if no one comes through by then. (I am part of an air show in Janesville, WI on May 30th, and 31st. We are hosting the Blue Angels. There will be plenty of military personnel around.)

[dabull]

ya'll better hurry...if the weather holds, and my cell phone camera decides to work, I WILL have a picture tomorrow afternoon......

[unwind2]

[unwind2]

[dabull]

Very Nice!!!!!!!!!

[dantama]

When it's my turn, I wonder if it would be cheating to say...Take a picture of your bike and car with a Lamborghini all in the same picture?

Look who parks behind me at my new place :)

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/dantama/motorycle%20posts/IMG_4626.jpg

[gghost]

Or take a video of your Nomad riding over the Lamborghini. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

[skeeter]

youngest WalMart greeter I've ever seen!

[Top Cat]

youngest WalMart greeter I've ever seen!

Really?

[skeeter]

Our greeters are generally retirees supplimenting their income.

[jagugator]

Hey waht's the deal? You have to jaunt off to Italy on very short notice and everyone quits on ya. I am coming home in two days and there just happens to be a firehouse around the corner. I think I should be able to get this one done. By the way man do I miss my bikes!

[dabull]

i am workin on it...bikes in ther garage, firehouse down the street, family reunion AT my house keepin me busy...ya'll better get on it...

[phenrichs]

I live a block from the firehouse.

[unwind2]

Well.....my husband is a fireman. Took the Nomad to the firestation....got a pic of me, the Nomad, four fireman all in front of a fire engine. Problem....I'm on the lap top the darn desktop is on the blink so can't download. http://s2.images.proboards.com/angry.gif:(" title=">:(" border="0"/>

Trip? Hint Hint? http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif :-* http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

I'd vote to give it too you anyway :)

[phenrichs]

If her husband is a fireman I have to agree with Dan. It is pretty much a lock. I do want to see the pic just to see it though cause I bet it is a cool pic.

[unwind2]

Well.....what I'll do...I'll take the memory card to Wally World and make a print and bring it with me next week to Custer. If nobody has posted a fireman by then .....I think Trip said he is bringing a lap top....he being a computer person maybe he can post it fer me. ;)

[skeeter]

Keep it up. I'll play eventually. Computer dies when I try to upload pics or play a video. fun just to watch others post their success or failures.

Uh... In the spirit of the game...

No Pic, No takey prize!

I agree - I know what I want to make as next target but haven't posted that pic yet...so we'll see. I haven't given up on trying to get it posted. http://s2.images.proboards.com/angry.gif:(" title=">:(" border="0"/>

[unwind2]

Success!!! Never say never. I went back out and we took another pick with a new memory card and I was able to download on the laptop. Go Figure. Okay next target......your Nomad, you and your pet(s)...dog, cat etc....BTW my hubbie (Ken)is the one with the cap one. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb11/Unwind2/Picture003.jpg

[dabull]

argh!! nice pic;) nice nomad - love the color http://s2.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif

[Top Cat]

Nice pic Nanc, guess I'll sit this one out as I don't have a pet.
Just when I remember to start bringing the camera on trips too :-/

[soldierboy3502]

I had to get in on this at 1 am...heheh. His name is Toby and he is a 5 yr old sh*t Tzu. Next target is ......

http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/soldierboy3502/DSCN0157.jpg

....Your Nomad and you parked in front of a Hooters

[jagugator]

Ah very nice! Are there extra points if there are Hooter girls in the picture?

[soldierboy3502]

Hell yea!!! I'm screwed cuz the nearest Hooters is 3 hours away. This might be a good reason to ride!!

[dantama]

....Your Nomad and you parked in front of a Hooters




Woo whoo! I got one.

That is a Hooters sign behind my head.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/dantama/motorycle%20posts/reflection.jpg




But then, just to be sure nobody cried foul, I went in and asked for the girl with the most cleavage and told her I'd get extra points if she was in the pic :)

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/dantama/motorycle%20posts/onegirlcropped.jpg



And then I told her that if she'd get a friend, I'd get double the points http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/dantama/motorycle%20posts/IMG_5206.jpg



And then I told them I would get 10,000 bonus bonus points if they would......... http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif



So, the next one you don't need pets or certain restaurants.... anyone can do it.

Go to a public place where it is obvious you shouldn't be parking a bike (not on a road, something like pavers or a sidewalk etc.) It needs to be a place that you shouldn't be, not just a place at work where you can be, but others aren't supposed to. A place YOU shouldn't be either.

Example:
In front of fountains, sidewalk in front of the police station, inside a grocery store lobby, inside a stadium, etc. etc.

Let's see what you get!

DAN... U R THE MAN :)

[duneseven]

dude if your married you already aced the next round, no hooters ,no picts with unauthorized pretty women

[dabull]

btw - i'm ignoring that Dan has already scored on this one...i believe i will try his tactic;)

[isaiahsdad]

Would a picture of me and my bike on the sidewalk in front of my ex wifes house count. The courts say I am not to be within 100 feet of her?? :)

(Just kidding, No ex wife, just thought it would be funny)

[skeeter]

hmmm...

[soldierboy3502]

???

[jagugator]

This one seems to be a little tough.

[dantama]

This one seems to be a little tough.

Come now, this one is the easiest so far. There might be only one Walmart or Hooters in your town, but there is a thousand places you aren't supposed to be on your bike in every town :)

[phenrichs]

Still can't believe you didn't figure out a way to get your Nomad on top of Crazy Horse or Mt. Rushmore Dan.

[glwilson]

Like maybe on a airport runway?

I am working on that one.

[dhomoney]

Hmmmmm, got some ideas for this.....sounds like bike ride this afternoon.

[unwind2]

I had to get in on this at 1 am...heheh. His name is Toby and he is a 5 yr old sh*t Tzu. Next target is ......

http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/soldierboy3502/DSCN0157.jpg

Toby's cute...he's not spoiled is he. ;) ;)

[phenrichs]

Crap I had the perfect setup to win Dan's challenge and forgot to take a pic.

The one place that a Nomad in good working condition should never be......

Strapped into a Uhaul trailer.

[unwind2]

Okay...here goes....this is in front of the library at the local community college. I watched and waited until the one security gaurd was on the other end of the campus.http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb11/Unwind2/sundayride032.jpg

[unwind2]

And for good measure took a pic at a railroad crossing while I was out. ;).................Next target your nomad with a state trooper or state police car.
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb11/Unwind2/sundayride029.jpg

[jagugator]

Very nice!

[dantama]

Unwind, that library one is right on target. Good job! :)

[dhomoney]

Ok now I need to find a state trooper. :)

[dantama]

Ok now I need to find a state trooper. :)

I had an opportunity pulling into Custer, but I don't think he would have been in a picture taking mood :)

[isaiahsdad]

I just did 120mph down I35, fixin to turn around and go the other direction. I know there is a troopers somewhere around here.....

[dhomoney]

Don,

You know that a Nomad can't go that fast. There is no way you did this. You are lying like you did on another forum. Fess up bub. Oh and I know this cause of my extensive MC experience of 11.5 months. Yeah, you can't handle going up against someone that has that level of experience. Bow down to my awesomeness.

Sorry couldn't help it. :) For all of you in the dark, reference (http://www.okshooters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60293&highlight=Darkside)

[isaiahsdad]

Crud, I have been busted. I humbly bow down before you and beg for your forgiveness. I know that 'other' site you are talking about is the end all be all of all that is the internet. I beg for all to forgive my transgression.

Now all we need is J.P. and Yukon Glocker on this site. Thanks for ruining it for me :)

[dhomoney]

ROFL. You crack me up Don. We need to ride together sometime soon. I know some good rides around here, anything worth riding your way?

[dougster]

But, Don, if you put a CT on your bike, you will fall down! :) (I went and read that thread. What a doozy!)

[isaiahsdad]

David, there really isn't any place around here that I would consider 'good riding'. I like going around Draper, or out to Thunderbird, but that is really about it. I like heading down to Bricktown on Friday or Saturday nights. There is always something going on down there. Heck, it seems like all the highways around Oklahoma city are under construction all at the same time. I went for a late night ride last night and hit every construction zone I could find, not on purpose either.

I will tell you this though, Route 66 is always a good ride, no matter which direction you choose to go. Kim and I head out to Pops at least once a month, and do about 50 miles down 66. It is a real nice ride. But me, I just like to ride. You would be surprised at how many miles I have put on just going around my own neighborhood. Here the past few days, the only time I feel like riding is after midnight, when the temp gets below 90. We are supposed to have a cold front come through the next couple of days and get us back down to the 90s so I hope to hit the road again soon, not that I am a fair weather pilot, just don't like anything over a hundred.

If you do come to town, give me a yell. I'd be happy to have you over for a beer. SDarkRage and Lil Nicky live across the street, you could come check out there gun collection, and a collection it is. We all just hang out and try not to let the heat get to us. Oh, and about that 'other' site, I take it with a grain of salt. This place has a far better class of people, and know how to respect one another.

Dougster, you should read some of the other stuff that goes on there, Lord have mercy, and these people carry guns. I got hooked in at first but after a while, well, you know what I am talking about. It is very entertaining though. The thread I started about the darkside was just a little tiny tip of the iceberg. You would be surprised at how many experts about everything there are on there. It will leave you scratching your head sometimes.

Back on topic. Didn't mean for this to get so far off the subject. Was just really cracking a joke about the 120mph deal. I have not been above 80 on mine. Don't have the need to go that fast. Can Nomads really go that fast? Any how, sorry guys. Find a Trooper. Have fun.

[dougster]

Don, I know what you mean! It seems to be a common malady on the internet. Entertaining and also sharpens your thinking sometimes. Makes me think about my own opinions and their validity, as well as how clearly (or unclearly) I may be presenting them!

[dhomoney]

Yeah it is entertaining. I don't go much to OKShooters anymore. I have some people I keep in contact with on there, but mostly I use it to buy and sell and to keep up with the competition stuff as I shoot IDPA, Steel Challenge, and Practical Rifle.

[dhomoney]

Well Don, you need to get over this way. Lots of good back roads rolling through the hills all of them twisty. I don't hardly get over your way due to the fact there isn't much to ride and Tulsa is closer. :) Might just have to make a special trip though. I do loves me some blued steel. :)

[isaiahsdad]

I like the ride down highway 2 from 40 to the Talemena pass, and down the pass to 35. That is a real nice ride.
