Okay so a tank should not be so easy to find yet it was. Now on the other hand a POW_MIA flag should not be so hard to find !!!!!!! Still keeping with the fourth theme . (I would not have felt comfortable making this photo about the scooter so out of respect the scooter is in the background) Tag you're it !!!

lol, that's a good one maf ;D, first time i saw a tank smaller than a scooter ;D. oh and i might not see any POW flag anymore cuz they only put it up during independence day and keep it afterwards. what's the other option? anyways,nice shots mafunsalow. ps: does POW*MIA means Prisoner of War*Missing In Action?

Okay other option is word(s) or numbers etched in stone,and not a tombstone,that's too easy. Btw the tank I just happen to see on the way to the gym one morning last week. It is sitting back about 100ft. Not sure why I even looked back there. One of them wtf moments. But sure came in handy. Lol

I've got to get out and try and find this. I've been pretty busy job hunting and we've had lots of rain. Annie got caught out in it, went to the SS office, and when she came out, her brand new helmet hanging on the helmet hook was being generously filled with rain water... I drove a dry helmet out to her, LOL...

lol nice photoshop.
on a different note, i cant stand my permit pic i look like "im so bored i cold kill myself" not to boast, but i think im a decent driver. the only thing i had to get used to was highway driving really. ive been driving 50+ miles daily to go see my grandma in the hospital so ive gotten used to the whole "cage" lol.
my ma also let my friend drive around the cemetery today, and he is older than me and has his permit, but i swear he gave me wiplash with the brakes lol.
my moms only complaint is that i have a somewhat lead foot, and when changing lanes i tend to start turning while checking my blind spot.

..sorry to put an end on this thread. LOL!!. "Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Heck no! And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough... [thinks hard] the tough get goin'! Who's with me? " Actually this a fairly easy one. But I just had my heart roto rootered and I have to wait for incisions to heal before I can ride. Hoping for the end of the week.

that sucks salow. and yeah, cemeteries and hospitals have been a huge part of my life the past year. my grandpa was in the hospital from september till a few days before halloween when he passed away, and now my grandmother has been the hospital since may 31st. not me though, i just go to visit, ha ha
we've got a tiny little airport, that i can see sitting at this computer. occasionally when somthing big happens the county sherriff is tooo lazy to drive so he gets flown here in a chopper. ill have to roll my bike out the next time he lands here.

I'm planning on going to the doctors sometime this week. It's a pretty big hospital (LAC+USC Medical Center) and there's usually a lot of helicopters dropping emergency patients off.
I'll get a picture if there happens to be one, when I go.

Hi everybody, this is a great game you're playing. After reading through this thread I couldn't help but think of something that could make it much more fun. It's up to you whether you think its a good idea or not, but here it is: If a player gets a pic of their scoot in front of said object, they should scoot home and post it. If they "win", THEN they should sit and consider and think for awhile of what would be a good challenge. THEN scoot out to said location and take a pic for the next round. Maybe there should be a 24 hour limit on their next challenge being posted. That way there will be much more variety and creativity going on. What I am seeing here is that someone takes a "winning pic" and then in fear of losing they scoot 50 yards away and take a pic of something for the next round and then they probably "weeeeeeee" all the way home to "win" and post a new challenge all in one message. However, if you just go out in search of a winning pic on mind, THEN come home and post it. THEN (if you win) take some time to think of another challenge, and go scooting around with THAT on mind, there will be a lot more fun things happening, methinks. Not only that, but instead of one scoot, you get two glorious scoots playing this game: One to get the winning pic, and one to present a good exciting challenge to others. Forgive me if I'm too forward with this proposition, and to be honest I do not know if I will get very involved in PLAYING the game, but please consider this idea. It would be much funner for you and those who enjoy this thread. I love seeing pics of other scoots and this is a fun game to keep an eye on. So, two birds with one stone: pics of scoots and fun!
So, that is my advice. You can either take it or tell me to blow it out my exhaust.
P.S. Maybe it will keep the game going too, if there is a 3 day limit on a challenge. Meaning if no one can produce a winning pic within 3 days, a new challenge can be posted.

your advice and idea is very much appreciated. looks more fun and more exciting. i'm with you, let's hear what the author has to say. (nickiemcnichols). like you, i also have a lot of ideas in my mind, thinking of taking pictures of my scooter underwater. but that's a tough one. cummon guys, do it now, next thing you know it's already winter.(grrr,i hate winter,no activity,just sleep) thanks!

This game is already as fun as it's gonna get. Some people ARE trying to get difficult pictures. It's not easy to take a picture of your scoot next to a helicopter, tank etc.
Also, the whole 24 hour thing would just kill the game. The reason it takes longer sometimes is because there aren't many people playing the game, so the few people that do play either don't have the time or the location.
One can already make the landmark as difficult as they wish.

stnctsr: Thanks for your input. For someone who hasn't tried the game, you have some pretty good observations. I suggest you give it a try. It's not quite as easy as it looks. I put some thought into my tags, they're hardly ever random photos. Sometimes, it gets just plain weird. We play it on Scooter Diva, too, and the ladies are quite creative. There is no rush, no hurry. You can use Google search if you like. You can find the exact same object if you live in the same town. I stole the game from Modern Vespa, they started it, as far as I know, and they play a lot of it, they use several threads. luke and riddick are right, it's fun, try it out. It's as much fun as you make it. (You are required to know how to resize and post a photo, that's the only really difficult part) I hope you find as much fun as I.

stnctstr There probably are a few boring tags but i think looking at the time between tags they may not be as easy as you imagine. I for one am not looking for more rules. I am looking for and playing for challenging, fun or witty "tags".
So WELCOME, lead by example. Find a tag and show us your stuff!

Ok Tag your it! Was riding around the wrong side of the tracks looking for a train and came across this. Couldn't resist. ;D Tag: Your scoot with a sigh that pays homage to ScootDawg in some way.
