Saw this on another forum and thought it sounded like fun.  The game is played like this: A member issues a challenge to find a particular item/landmark/etc. You take your motorcycle, and digital camera/cell phone out and locate it. Take a picture of your motorcycle in the same frame as the subject of the challenge, and upload it to the thread here. The first one posted wins the challenge and picks a new challenge, limited only by their creativity.

Example: Rider A issues challenge of your bike in front of a lake. Rider B rides to the nearest lake, snaps a pic, uploads it here, and issues a new challenge of "your bike in front of a billiards bar," and the game continues.

It sounded fun and I thought it'd be cool to have one specifically for DRs :thumbsup:

Sounds Good to me! Gives me a reason to go out riding/exploring.

I thought that at first too, but what I think Jake meant is a less specific game of Tag-O-Rama. For example, posting a picture in front of your local Billiard Bar as opposed to a specific one.

Eggxactly.  If people keep it generic, like a body of water, city limit sign, etc etc then everyone can join in.  Also if you already have a pic of your DR next to the challenge posted, then it doesn't count it has to be a new one!  I guess I'll start the challenge:  Post up a pic of your DR next to a body of water!

How about your DR in front of any sort of road sign?  Tag you're it.

BOOM!  Stepped out my front door and snapped that :thumbsup:.  Next challenge:  Your DR at a fast food joint!  Also I'd like to stress the pics MUST be new ones not ones you have on your hard drive.  The point is to get people out riding and searching for the next goal!

It was funny seeing people reactions of me riding in the snow.  They would stare at me like I was crazy!  I think maybe they were waiting on me to biff!  :bonk:
