Okay, want another easy-to-enter and just-for-fun competition?
This one involves finding a photo of your motorcycle parked in an interesting place. Post the picture somewhere (Facebook, Twitter, Blog, photo-sharing site etc) and put a link to it in the comments section below. Tell us where it is and why it is interesting. Entries close on Monday 22nd April.
Spread the word!
I will pick my top three favourites and post them on this blog. Don’t worry about the quality of the picture, it is the place the bike is parked that should be good. There are no prizes, this is just for fun!
I will start the ball rolling…..
Taken during my 21,000 mile ride around America, I parked my motorcycle on the pavement outside the Harley-Davidson Café in Las Vegas. A policeman agreed to let me do it!
Now, go find a picture of your bike parked somewhere interesting.....
This is probably going to be a common location but I'll start off with
ReplyDeleteMyself with three friends at the Arctic Circle
Hhhm. A friend has a Vincent Black Shadow parked in his living room.........under glass I believe.
ReplyDeleteWill be interesting to see what people come up with.
Are multiple entries allowed?
ReplyDeleteIf so, here is my bike parked by the Prince George man in the middle of British Columbia. I would have never even noticed its existence save for a comment from another moto-blogger who used to live there and asked for a photo.
OK Gary, here's my submission: an old building in Utah.

Dear Gary:
ReplyDeleteI cannot send a photo of the best place I have ever parked a motorcycle. For one thing, it was dark. For another, I don't want her husband to find out.
Fondest regards,

ReplyDeleteHi Gary!
ReplyDeleteAn old picture, of Maria, my second motorcycle...with Denver's Blue Bear...thought it fitting as I am heading where more bears are to be found...though hopefully not of the same size!

ReplyDeleteAguero, Spain
Gary, not exotic and perhaps not all that interesting, but it was so unexpected when I discovered this place in a place I thought I knew all about. Also, I find it cool because it is a sign of hope. Enjoy.

Hey Gary
ReplyDeleteYou have never posted up a winner for this blog post and it closed in april, but I guess you didn't say which year.
Chiller Tek - You are absolutely right! You know when things get ahead of you and there is so much to do, that you don't achieve everything? This was one of those times. Your reminder has prompted me to do something about it though!
