Tag-O-Rama

Sat, 12/05/2009 - 22:45 — A

Anyone up for some picture tag-o-rama game?

Ride your bike to a location that satisfy all the previous tagger's qualifications.

I start with a easy one: a motorcycle and a covered bridge.

I'm in. Will probably need to keep these things easy as there are not a huge amount of us on this board. Now I just need to find a covered bridge in WA....

Sun, 12/06/2009 - 05:02 — eternal05

Does "covered by another layer of bridge" count?

Sun, 12/06/2009 - 06:58 — eon

found a website that lists covered bridges in WA and lo and behold there is one not far from one of my favorite stamping grounds. The map is a little unclear how to get to it so I may have to ride around some folks back yards to get there :) Now if only I can be sure there will be no ice around tomorrow...

Sun, 12/06/2009 - 15:42 — A

Preferably covered bridge with roof structure and windows on the sides.

Never got a chance to get out today. Won't have another chance till next weekend what with our short days here and having to work and all. Have a feeling this is going to be a slow moving tag-o-rama....

Fri, 12/11/2009 - 06:54 — XRayHound

I'm in on this, sounds like fun. Soon as I get the forks sorted on my FZ-1 I know where's there's a covered bridge real close to here. And! I even already have a perfect idea for the next tag! Be back with ya when the freezing rain goes away and someone figures out why my right fork is frickin' -bleeding- oil past the crush washer in the leg and down the axle.

Went out to find this little puppy today..

but could not find it. I thought I had it in my GPS but did not. Turned out it was down one of many private roads and I did not want to start riding up and down them all hunting for it. The fact it was starting to snow also had some influence on my decision.

But, it did get me out and about. When I got back close to home there was blue sky so I took the opportunity to ride around some of the parks we have here (Seattle). I hit more 180' hairpin up-hill turns today than I have on any mountain ride. I had an absolute blast. I'm going to go exploring these roads some more to see if I can put together a couple of hour ride of non-stop fun, and it's all on my doorstep :D

Mon, 12/14/2009 - 15:23 — A

The tag requirement clearly states: "a motorcycle and a covered bridge."

You'll have to include both in your tag picture.. I don't want to be so specific that your MP3 is not considered as a motorcycle.. but if you include your MP3 in that covered bridge picture, that would be acceptable.

Mon, 12/14/2009 - 15:37 — eon

I wasn't trying to claim the tag, that picture isn't even mine. I was just pointing out I tried to get a picture. Up till yesterday it was only you and I playing the game. If XRayHound does not snap his picture within the next week I may be able to find another bridge next weekend. Unfortunately it is not a pretty one, a concrete monstrosity over a busy road but it does meet the requirements. I *should* be able to find that one.

Wed, 12/16/2009 - 03:58 — Ixecapade

I didn't honestly think that there was anything like that in Jersey but google is my friend and I think I found one about 10 mikes out. I might be brave enough to try that before we get the shit storm on sunday.

The roomie and I took off for TGIF tonight and rode in the dark- excited to get out and ride even if in the *limited* visibility- it was better than fighting 5 oclock traffic at any one point. =) The little wings are growning so maybe I'll get to play this game after all!

She did already. A hot dog stand I think is the next task. I did go looking for one today but I think they only come out here to serve the nightcrawlers. I could probably go find one now but I don't like riding Fri/Sat nights around pubs/clubs. I'll see if I can find one the next time a game is in town. There should be some around the stadiums I would think.

The idea is to ride some place interesting or you've never been, take picture of your bike at the location and post the picture in the thread for someone else to try and duplicate similar picture elewhere else.

It is great living here in the Portland area. About 75 miles from the closest ski resort, about 80 miles to the coast, about 100 miles to grasslands, about 120 miles to the high desert.

Hope you have a good time camping.

I think I am about 3000 miles from a snow capped peak, and the east coasters are even further. The mountains on this side of the country (if you are near them I am not :( ) are much shorter than the western mountains and are usually clear by June. :(

I did check several lakes around here that I thought had docks but it ended up they only had loading ramps. I guess I should have went downtown to the big shipping docks.

Not to rag on this game, but we play a game on another forum that is a little easier than this one and more people can play. This is one is really technical.

Sun, 07/25/2010 - 12:11 — A

Less comments, more pictures.. even if pictures are not acceptable, at least posters would learn how the game is played to proces when they participate, rather than just post comments about the game.

What's so difficult about that?

Current tag: bike with a snow capped mountain..

In northern hemisphere, that's going to be difficult, seems like a somewhat unreasonable tag IMO, since when the mountain is capped or covered with snow, not much motorcycler riding is done.

You can see them best if you are driving/riding through the mountains and you see a section of the forest has been cut down in a long wide strip...but forest is on either side...that's a clear cut section...if you are going past one you will see a field of tree stumps and undergrowth, but the trees will be gone...again clear cut...

A clear cut is when they go in and cut out about 95% of the trees in a logging operation. They're infamous here in Oregon. They are basically the logging version of strip-mining; but at some point someone said that they are the best way to log. Oh well, gotta have wood.

Anyway, MadJack gave good advice on how to find one, the trick is living near a forest.

If this one doesn't get a response, at least I can sharpen up my chain saw and prep a site for the photo shoot, trees are way easier to ride over when they're laying down anyway ;) ...just kidding! Closest thing here is where hydro power lines cut through treed areas or where they clear to build housing developments and highways, somebody else will need to bump this one.

Clear-cut IS the best way to log, given a bottom line of short term pure profit.

Northern California has the giant redwoods, or at least, they have most of them. Oregon used to have on of the largest and oldest giant sequoias, but it was topped by a lightning storm, then taken down some more in a wind storm.
