I meant like one of the "this is the highest point" type things, I assume they have a name, but, hey, it's still a game, I'll take a big hill, I'll take a small mountain, I won't take a minor bump in the road

You mean like a Trig Point?

I was going to take the GSXR up Holme Moss today, but went the other direction because of the grey clouds, you can get a pretty good 'high up' type picture there.

Does the bike have to actually be visible & the sign legible? (green sign to the right of the truck)

our local trig point (just the other side of the hedge so I cant get the bike next to it)

To be completely honest it was taken 3 weeks ago when the challenge was your bike on a high point last time but then it got changed before I posted it
Never mind that, surely the RTTL sticker should follow the lines of the tank badge and fairing fastenings….

A fucking hill sign, I live in bloody Suffolk, the highest point is about 100ft above sea level and you need a GPS to find it because it's barely higher than the land that surrounds it.

You'll probably have all the challenges to yourself from about then on. :lol:

The sign thing has buggered me up. Plenty of elevation opportunities,but can't find a sign donating height anywhere.
