So get her done already,man. :thumbup:
No gun bag, I just throw my long guns on the back seat under a blanket in the car.

It's looking like non-stop rain here as far as the rest of August is concerned,so I'll not be out looking for sunflowers. :cry:

I saw some at a stall in the centre of Dublin today, but I don't have a bike here to take a picture with.
Rain is a special occasion for a desert rat. :thumbup:

There's rain and then there's rain. This is the latter :cry:

Are we still on the sunflower - I went past Frog Farm Sunflower maze on my way to Snetterton today, if the weather is decent I could pop out tomorrow for a photo.

I thought about getting a picture this morning, but I suspect your bike on a trailer with a sunflower in the background wouldn't count.

Next your bike with a military fortification, like a castle or pillbox

How far did you ride to get the pic ?

It's a 'riding game' not a walk outside the house game after all.

Isn't what constitutes a nice watch in the opinion of the rider, for me a Timex is a nice watch :D

This looks like a nice watch to me

Its a fair cop. I've got to go out later so I'll get a proper "been for a ride" photo.

Just popped out to get some milk (18 km round trip) so here's a watch, my scootay and some mountains.

If this fulfills the criterea, how about your bike next to an abandoned car? Preferably on the side of the road somewhere, but driveway abandonment is good enough

Does a crashed pickup truck with a police aware sticker count?

Though that's going to be a dangerous photo to get

Just remembered I do know of a couple of abandoned cars, they're down a bit of a goat track road though, and a tedious place to get to.

Abandoned cars are few and far between here where I live, but i used to love looking out for them when I was riding around unfamiliar industrial and housing estates

I think they're pretty rare in the UK these days, the two I know of are both on a piece of private land down a tiny dead end road, I only know about them because I've cycled past them.
