We've had frost on the ground at least two mornings so far, so the cold is already creeping in. I store my own bikes, and have a drain and hose in my heated space. For the Slim, I have a good deal of fairly extensive mod work planned, which will take it out of service for a while. Not sure how fast those will actually happen - more a factor of funding than desire or time to do the work. I've made the agreement with my better half that I can do whatever I want to the beast, as long as I pay for it with overtime. That said, I still have access to the Lo, so I'm still in the saddle of a softail. If weather permits, I'll jump in. Not sure how much momentum this thread will have over the winter months - seriously hoping it will continue forward, and strongly so. If not, we'll have to revive it come Spring. It's been a hell of a lot of fun playing the game, and "spending time" with you guys along the way.

It's actually a zombie cat, but when they're dead it's a little harder to tell...

Actually I did all that in less than an hour, just putting around the immediate neighborhood, then I wasn't feeling all that great so I came home.
Had I stayed out another 15 minutes I could have had 5 more easily;
local watering hole, pizza joint, BBQ joint, barber shop, cigar shop, etc...
Maybe these challenges need to be a little more ... challenging.

Next up, a road trip.
A photo of your bike at any major electrical utility power generating plant.
Coal, nuke or hydro, your choice... w/GOS
How about natural gas? I've been following this thread since day one. Unfortunately, I've been a day late on just about every one I could have gotten. Imagine my suprise when I checked in tonight at work. Anyway, this is a combined cycle natural gas cogen that in just the right conditions can make about 500MW. As it's 3am here, my glasses may be hard to see, but they're on the seat.

If this counts, I'd like the next challenge to be your bike in front of a beer truck with gos.

Knowing nothing about the capacity of power plants I did a quick search. What I read indicates that plant can provide power to +/- 250,000 homes. One of the things I like about this thread, nice ride, good pics and a little education. Nice photo.

Bike in front of a beer truck has already been done (challenge #71) So you can come up with another challenge.

my mistake.. How about your bike in front of a water tower with a town name that starts with the letter A. Glasses on the seat of course.
