Riding Game

The next tag:

This of course is the Houston skyline, I apologize for the picture, it didn't quite come out the way I wanted. The last time I had been to this spot to take pictures the pine trees were not there. I rode around the city and could not find a clear unobstructed view of the skyline without stopping on the freeway so I decided to go with what I have.
A skyline view of your city! I know there are numerous skylines that are very picturesque AND we have people in these areas like San Francisco, LA, Denver, Salt Lake City, Philadelphia, DC, Dallas and Seattle.

Sorry about the dirty bike, haven't had a chance to wash it in a couple months

Linus?

If you are refereing to Peanuts characters; Linus was the kid with the blanket, Lucys brother. Pigpen was the guy with a dirt cloud around him.

You never know maybe he has a blanket dragging behind the bike

Hey Wacky , you beat me by a couple of hours. Just got home from a 350 mile ride stopped to get the tag on the way back. I'll post it as its a neat little Veterans Memorial honoring WI veterans.

Lockheed T33 or F80

Also at the memorial are a T60 "Patton" tank and a Huey helicopter

Really nice pictures, now I feel bad after you rode 350 miles, hopefully it wasn't specifically for the tag
I guess the real point is that you enjoyed your ride.

I just noticed in your stable you have a '79 CX500C, I had one of those, a '79 CX500C that was Dark Candy Apple Blue, it was the only year they offered that color, excellent bike - extremely dependable, easy to ride, smooth and comfortable and very good on gas, wish I still had it but totaled it out - they fixed it (they repaired or replaced everything but the engine and rear wheel) but it was never the same after that ended up trading it in.

The pictures were incidental to the ride. Left early to watch the Rock Aquajays Water ski Show Team (we are members and my son skies) compete in the WI state division 1 tournament. The lake where the tournament's held is about 170 miles from my house.

I only had to detour about a mile on my way home to get the pictures. Glad you could get the tag. I may work on the new one a bit latter.

Our CX500C is the same dark blue that you had. My 19 yo daughters 1st bike and she loves it. Bonus was I only pd $550.00 and all it needed was tires and a good cleaning.

BTW that's one sweet bike you have there.

That's it mine was the exact same color, I'll have to see if I can find a picture of the one I had.

My daughter wants a bike but my wife says no.

My daughter wants a bike but my wife says no.

It's actually mt wife's fault that my daughter rides. She thought it would be good if my daughter took the MSF basic riders course, got her license and gained some experience while still at home. We live in a rural area and she actually rides with me often. Her confidence level continues to increase as her riding skills continue to develop.

Well, I've been so busy I haven't been on the forum in forever, it seems. I guess I can't get the next tag without going down to the Twin Cities, and that won't be until next weekend. Oh well, there'll be another tag to get then. Next weekend is our 36th anniversary and I'm combining it with doing an advanced riding course, called the Civilian Police Motorcycle Course, offered by one of the St. Paul motor officers (a trainer for the real thing in the St. Paul Police force) that is also a rider coach in our Minnesota Motorcycle Safety Center (MSF) of which I'm a part. we'll be "camping" in our motorhome at Mystic Lake Casino again, and we're going to take in a comedy show on Saturday night at Chanhassen Dinner Theatre.

This of course is the Houston skyline, ....

Last evening I rode to a spot up on a hill were can get bike on an observation deck that overlooks the river channell and all of Grand Haven, but, ah, er, um, could not see the buildings of downtown, ah, er, the trees are taller than the 2 stories buildings. So, that would not qualify, eh.

Ask and you shall receive, the San Francisco skyline, I believe as shot from a famous movie location (think ford mustang and Mr. McQueen)



and for the next tag, how about a place that most of us who have been driving long enough have ended up at one time or another (though usually our bikes don't accompany us) a hospital emergency room, not required but you get extra points for getting a police vehicle in the shot

[lurch12_2000]

I figured since most would consider this bad karma, I'd put this tag behind us.....even with hospital security trying to push me along!

[lurch12_2000]

Next up, monster truck (or mini-monster), but tires have to be taller than your bike.
Maybe I'll rig up my wife's S10 Blazer like this one.
