Next, your bike near a Nissan hut…

Is that a hut made out of a Datsun, or do you mean a Nissen Hut?

The first one, but I'd accept the 2nd...

Buggery bollocks, I saw one a few days ago, but can't recall where... altho here in the former colonies, it would be a Quonset hut..

The weather guessers are now saying next Sunday won't be quite as cold as a well-digger's arse, so will likely take the ZX11 out.

Take two shots of MTFU and get her done.

I'll be making the go/no-go decision on Sunday morning. The weather down the hill looks ok, it's the temps up the hill here in the Mojave: 20deg difference... However, the ZX11 is usually a leg cooker, altho likely won't be at this time of year.. but I got that full fairing. I'm thinking in colder temps it might be worth removing the baffles on the inside of the lower fairing so more heat comes out the back of it instead of the side vents.

Next your bike next to a clean car not belonging to you or for sale.

I can do that without leaving the garage...

ok then. My ZRX11 & ZX11 with roomie's Camaro, which was actually for sale at this point & was sold shortly after.



So if that's acceptable, your bike with a warship (or recognizable parts thereof, so the guns outside the IWM in Lambeth would be ok).

and you don't have to be parked right next to it, distance is fine so long as it's obvious what it is.

Yebbut you didn’t ride anywhere.

....and what about the car "not for sale" bit?

Either way, it's a No... still with the same challenge.

How about this then? The BMW in the background was just being finished off & it's definitely not mine. Might be for sale, but the owner wasn't around to ask



If that's ok the next one is 'your bike with a christmas tree' - it's December after all.

I rode into the garage when I got home.

Ace - what's next?

That fluoro paint scheme really pops in the gloom of an English winter...

I grew up just outside of Penzance (near the Penwith moors), but left when I was 19, in 1992. The folks still live there, and I try and see them once a year - love the place, but couldn't live there.

Born in Penzance. Lived in Newquay, Downderry, Seaton & Looe. (before emigrating to England & then the US) Went to HS in Torpoint (on the days I didn't miss the bus.. or get off half way there & spend the day on the beach at Tregantle)

18 months old the first time I left, then again when I was 13 & again at 17. Went back for a while after that a couple of times.

@Scuffmark what’s the next challenge?
