I can say the exact same thing, as this was at the end of my street. It was starting to rain after I got the hotel photos, I had to ditch my choice tag for this one. If it makes you feel better, there was lightening around and I parked as close as I could.:eek: The risk factor should out weigh the distance, even though I took this after the hotel and going to the grocery store.;)

I can see the little blinky red light on the top of the one here from my living room window, damn near park the bike in the front yard and capture it and a part of the tower from my couch:eek::lol::lol:

I'll do some research for a decent tag, if I come up with an idea before morning I'll get it, or wait and see if someone else gets it, but it won't get 24hrs old.

Fast tags aren't a bad thing. Some (me) need them, to keep it interesting. I would have gotten the uniform tag, but we've been swamped down here. I'm not complaining, we really need the rain. I'm not a wimp that won't ride in the rain, but 75% of the time there is lightening involved, 50% it's a down pore, and 25% there is a chance of hail. I've seen it three times so far this year. Back in '91 I had a brand new (3 weeks old) Firebird destroyed by hail, while I was driving it. In the span of about 3min. my car looked like someone parked it on a driving range for a week. When I got home, my '77 Chevy pickup didn't have a single dent, although my trees were barren of thier leaves. I haven't played the game during the hurricane season, so I'm going to grab any tag I can get, when it dry.
 
Ok then, shameless at the end of the street radio tower...TAG

Was going to do this caboose, then realized it's been done to death and recently, so you get the picture anyway just for fun, and the real tag as well, any horse drawn carriage/wagon/buggy. Can be in use, or a relic yard ornament like mine, no tractor wagons.

not the tag

And all before my first cup of coffee:eek::-s
 
If anyone is near Scottsbluff, NE there is a great (un)covered wagon. Unfortunately it would take me at least 7 hours each way.

Thought I'd share my picture anyway...

Alright, game on. Service ends around 1:00, so any players out there better step it up. I've got a carrage in mind and a great new tag. So If you want to get you have about 3 hours. The skys have cleared up and I rode to church, better get on it.

posted at 11:27...are you using a smart phone during church service:-s:-$

Go get it, can't wait to see the new tag, I have to go back out in awhile, buy some cat and rabbit food...on the bike no less, gotta ditch the backpak, going to need all the luggage rack.
 
Finally a tag I could get! Not a lot of stuff this far north, but there IS a GIANT ox and cart a few towns over. Too bad for me my chain is pooched and I don't have a new one until Tuesday. I have a picture from a few days ago of my GS beside a horse drawn fire truck type wagon from the thirties, but that doesn't count and I can't seem to get it from my camera to my laptop.

Ha! tried one more time and got it to copy, but again this was a few days ago so it doesn't count as a TAG.

Had this been a stalled tag that no-one could get, I probably would have accepted it, as you said it was only a few days old, but alas, you don't have a running bike even for a new tag. I try and keep the tags generic enough for all demographics. Keep checking.
 
I was between bible study and service, we have a bread and fruit buffet in between. Sorry to dissapoint, the carrage was moved onto the owners porch and I can't think of another around. The rain was nipping at me the whole way home. I got the next tag, but unless someone else gets it this tag today, I won't be able to use it. If it lightens up later, I can try again.

You guys are trying to FORCE me into getting a couple of video's and riding 80-90 miles aren't you?
I was planning on getting the Trizuki out and moving the '78 1000E into the shop for some secret improvements today!

I don't see why a new tag can't be used if it's banked a couple days, the main thing is to get the tag recently posted new, instead of file photos from who knows when, So lets say you saw bigfoot and got him to pose next to your bike, and used it for a new tag after you got the old tag, even if your bigfoot photo is a couple days old, should be ok, correct me if I'm wrong.
 
It would'nt be hard to retake it, if ever stops RAINING. I kinda rushed the photos anyway, since the rain was following me. It was a backup tag idea. I have about 20 in mind all over town, so I can get one where ever I'm at. Besides I need to switch over to Suzy('78), she hasn't been out in two weeks. I had memory foam put in the seat of my G and with the new speakers, Suzies been neglected. With my flip phone, I can check to see if a tag has been met and post text, but I don't have a smart phone, so I have to get to a computer to upload picts. My computer died a long slow death a few weeks ago, so I rely on my wife laptop and she takes it to work alot. We have enough players that someone, where it's dry will get the tag. The rain chance is suppose to go down after tonight, 30% at the most all next week.
 
It's been a gorgeous 90deg today, I was hoping for an excuse to go out and ride, one mamma won't mind so much, my honey do list is never ending at the moment.
 
It was a great day out and TCK and I put in about 90 miles together running down some nice roads between here and Middletown (I did about 130 total as I live a bit north of him). Didn't stop to take any pictures so I'll go out and grab the next tag maybe (not this one).

I could actually get this tag, if loud_ET doesn't beat me to it, there's one close to him, maybe tomorrow before nonn if I can break free. A good 90+miles round trip

How's she doing? Seems like your getting out often, so that means she is doing better or your driving her nuts.:lol:

No rain here. Ain't it ironic !:) The new tag is a geodesic dome.

We've got one, Spaceship Earth it's in EPCOT. Think I'll pass on this one. I don't think I can get close enough and get a photo for free. Any Google masters want to find me another?

Go for it, and put that top secret tag on us.
 
I might just get the secret tag, it's kinda in the same direction, only problem is distance, so even though I've gotten out, it was only for short rides, she needs help with the basic of things like removing the lids of pill bottles, let alone all the normal household things that require 2 usable arms. All in all, she's doing better, spirits are a little higher. Thanks for asking!
 
Well, I think I got the tag. Tough call though, finding ANOTHER dome in the same city the original one was in:

Do I get bonus points for also having a fountain in the shot?

The next tag:

This photo gives the guideline for what it is:

DSC_0845.jpg


When I was taking this shot, there was a little girl about 70 yds away, pointing out my motorcycle to her daddy, and I could distinctly hear her saying, "he's not supposed to be doing that". At least I waited until dusk so no kids were playing on the boulder:

and the other side from the road (original shot), set at a jaunty angle

The building in the background is a community centre with a swimming pool and ice rink, that was closed down when our new Olympic Legacy Community centre was opened.



So I guess the next tag would be an outdoor, artificial climbing wall.
