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
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.

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

Re: The riding challenge game. Pic of your bike 'somewhere'
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.

Funny you should link to that one, it's one of my favourite watches and has been hanging up in my garage for years.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Wed Aug 11, 2021 10:08 am Isn't what constitutes a nice watch in the opinion of the rider, for me a Timex is a nice watch

Edited...just noticed it's 3 minutes slow, it must be losing about 30-40 seconds a year.

Re: The riding challenge game. Pic of your bike 'somewhere'
That might be a challenge, I'd have to drive to a dodgy area, I haven't seen an abandoned car for years, although I don't think I've been on an estate with mattresses and settees in the garden for years either.

I'll just wait for the weekend and some boy racer will feck up near Beachy Head and put it in a field.

Re: The riding challenge game. Pic of your bike 'somewhere'
The last watch I bought was one of these, I haven't seen it for years as I don't wear a watch now, I'm guessing it's in one of my man drawers of stuff.Potter wrote: ↑Wed Aug 11, 2021 1:37 pmFunny you should link to that one, it's one of my favourite watches and has been hanging up in my garage for years.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Wed Aug 11, 2021 10:08 am Isn't what constitutes a nice watch in the opinion of the rider, for me a Timex is a nice watch

I think I've only owned 4 watches in my life.

Quite a few that I saw on driveways were on the drives of older, larger houses. You know the sort, built in the 1940's/50's, occupants now in their twilight years with an old Jag/Rover/ Ford Focus in front of the garage, covered in moss.

Re: The riding challenge game. Pic of your bike 'somewhere'
Oh, well in that case I have my own abandoned vehicles, here is a Landrover that hasn't turned a wheel in over a year, with my bike that also hasn't moved in over a year.
They're both going for MOT shortly.
(My LC is out and on the road because it doesn't need an MOT anymore)

More "deliberately not used" rather than "abandoned" in the real sense of the word?

Indeed.
Although it wasn't deliberate, the covids kept me away.

I hope they are more enjoyable now than when you put them away.

Re: The riding challenge game. Pic of your bike 'somewhere'
I was out for a couple of hours today,but the only wreck I thought of had been removed!
I need a spot of local civil unrest to have a chance with this one.

Re: The riding challenge game. Pic of your bike 'somewhere'
To be fair the ones I know of are more "not used since the 1970s" rather than abandoned.
Riding up to Cadwell on Saturday, I might see something on the way if I go through Wisbech.
I do know of an abandoned Morris Minor, but you'd need a trail bike with aggressive knobblies to get near it, and I haven't seen it for 20 years so it might not be there any more.
