Any good books in it?
What's next?
RE: Photo Tag game? - Biggles - 04-15-2023 06:02 AM
Nah- books were all rubbish fiction. No wonder people were giving them away. And they had a sign saying "No hardbacks- too heavy". You can buy that "library box" as a kit here in Oz, but they're obviously flimsy. Better ones use old fridges.
Next- bike beside an EV. Not a hybrid. If it's not a Tesla it would need some evidence of being an EV, such as an "electric" badge, or known model, e.g. Ioniq 5.

Tesla Model 3 with my N1K parked in front of it. What say you, Biggles ??

I say you nailed it again.
That's the sort of image I was looking for.
Go you!
What's next?
RE: Photo Tag game? - DownUnder - 05-08-2023 10:02 PM
Finding a Tesla proved to be very difficult as they don't seem to be that common yet, at least in my neighborhood, so let pick something more numerous.
Volkswagen manufactured more than 21,500,000 Beetles during it's production run, so the next tag will be your bike next to a classic VW Beetle.
Please note
- the "Beetle", officially known as a Type 1, must be the rear-engined / air cooled model and not the front engine / water cooled "New Beetle".
- the Beetle must be of a road-licensed vehicle and not a museum piece.
- (edit) your bike and the Beetle must be in the same photo. Long distance "light-house" photos are excluded.
- you can not own the Beetle.
RE: Photo Tag game? - Biggles - 05-10-2023 10:08 PM
Hmm. Obviously different places, different cars. There's more Teslas than old Beetles around here. If I do spot one it's always cause for a second look to see if it's the tiny rear window or larger rear window model.
I don't "get" paying a premium for the "new Beetle"- it's like paying a small fortune for a recent Clubman Mini and still sitting with your rear inches off the ground.
I will keep a look out for a Beetle. It's much easier these days to grab a photo now we have cameras in our phones.
RE: Photo Tag game? - DownUnder - 05-10-2023 11:54 PM
I do agree that there are not that many Beetles at your local shopping mall these days, but if it was easy, it wouldn't be fun.
That said, if I were going to chase this tag, I would probably start off with a Google search or even a Facebook search for something like " VW Club Queensland " or " VW Club Minnesota " and see if they have a "Bug In" (car show) coming up . . . . .
Also, to make things a little easier, I have edited my tag requirements. Instead of being "next to the Beetle", I will accept a photo of your bike and the Beetle in the same photo.

Found 1/3 of an old air cooled model. Saw three "next gen" bugs and one of the newest style bug. Had rain gear on and couldn't get pics of the newer ones while riding.

The "New Beetles" don't count, so no loss there, and unfortunately, the 1/3 of an "Old Beetle" doesn't count either as it does not satisfy the requirement for being road licensed.
RE: Photo Tag game? - Don Q - 05-20-2023 08:08 AM
Thought I was going to get to play. Saw a 70's Beetle at the local repair shop. By the time I got back with the motorcycle, it had disappeared.

As Maxwell Smart, Agent 86, would have said " missed it by that much "
RE: Photo Tag game? - DownUnder - 05-24-2023 11:59 PM
As I nominated the current Photo Tag, I can not claim it, but if I could, this would be my submission . . .

I found this "classic" while bagging Grand Tour murals in the rural town of Goulburn on Tuesday.
Keep looking people, examples of the elusive Bettle are out there . . . .

OK someone tell me what I am doing wrong... posting the picture I mean.
RE: Photo Tag game? - Lapchik - 06-12-2023 08:39 PM
I don't know how to do it either Don, I usually just post mine to the bike picture specific forum on ADV rider then do the [img] tags using the forum post's picture.

RE: Photo Tag game? - Don Q - 06-13-2023 11:08 AM
OK, thanks. that's my thumbnail photo on Kory's post. Let me know if it passes.
RE: Photo Tag game? - Lapchik - 06-13-2023 12:24 PM
The [img] tags you used work for most pictures, but the one at the end needs to have a / between the [ and img.
Also if you click the thumbnail it will enlarge.

Not exactly stock, but it does qualify, so pls nominate the next photo tag.

Since I work construction... your motorcycle and a building being built using a tower crane.
