Wind turbines don't mill anything but some people call them windmills. Technically I think they're all (including the ones that pump water) wind engines. So, in summary, after due consideration and analysis...it's up to Bigyin what's acceptable as it's his challenge. :lol:

A wind turbine would be a win here... Sure it's not techincally correct... but it's all about keeping the game moving and people riding, especially in winter.

And that is why I picked it as it’s open to some interpretation so more options …….. I figured, as the yank said, it might have been up before but years ago but it was one that was doable for many ;)

So what's the deal FFS, Are we still on a windmill (but not a wind turbine)?.. Because I could stop on the way home tomorrow & get a pic of the big fucker (wind turbine) at Palmdale Lake with the ZX11 in the foreground... which is different to the one I posted before, we actually have over 5000 to choose from.

Some bugger will likely beat me to it before I get home. It's currently 7am, probably leave the house about 9am & be back by 5pm

ok then... if that's satisfactory, the next category is:

Your bike & a 1980 or earlier Kawasaki. (so no GPz's or J models etc)... if your bike IS a 1980 or earlier Kaw, park it next to another one.

Just a thought, Kawasaki make things other than motorcycles, I can probably do a ship easier than a motorcycle at this time of year.

TBF, it just says a "1980 or earlier Kawasaki" so your ship should count. :thumbup:
