CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge

I'm thinking it would be more impressive if a toothless fellow was using a Crescent wrench on it . . .

But no.

I notice you kept the bike at a distance from the other inmates, Ferret.

Does it have to be a motorcycle repair shop? If a car repair shop qualifies, I have this one in the bag...

[Gone in 60]

Just in case any type of repair shop qualifies. Besides, I had fun shooting these. Did 'em yesterday, all within a few block radius and just a few miles from home...

Great pictures! Great topic. I should have checked the Forum before my ride yesterday. I'm sure I passed a building or two that would have made excellent backdrops. I'll get out there again once (if) it stops raining here.

In the meantime, just to keep the record clear -- Max submitted the first qualifying picture (assuming that it was taken on or after 5/1, Aussie time).

Here's the history re-posted just for everyone's convenience. I'll try to re-post it with updates each month.

The Challenge: A user (the first one will be yours truly) will pick a location, landmark, geographical feature, etc. to serve as the backdrop for your photo. Users will then post photos meeting the requirement in this thread for our ogling pleasure. The first user to submit a qualifying photo chooses the backdrop for the following month's challenge.

The goal: To encourage users to get out and ride and to document those rides with photos and, most of all, to have a little fun with the whole process.

The Rules:
1. The CB1100 must be the featured bike in the photo. Caption the photo with the date and the location.
2. Feel free to alter your photo to make it look better, but don't cut and paste into another photo just to qualify.
3. The photos should be new photos, not something you had on file and especially not something you posted elsewhere in this forum.
4. You may post multiple qualifying pictures in a month, but the background has to be different (ex. you can post two pictures of your bike in front of a train station, but they have to show two different stations)
5. Not really a rule, but don't stop trying to get a picture for a particular month just because someone beat you to the first post for that month. We want to see lots of pictures.
6. The same user cannot pick the photo subject on consecutive months. If the first photo comes from the same user that posted the first photo in the prior month, the second user posting a photo will get to pick the next background subject.

Truly, 6 rules are probably 5 too many. Just go with the spirit of this challenge and get out and ride your motorcycle!
January Challenge (from EmptySea):

Let's see your CB1100 in front of a statue. Ready? Go!

Sorry for the delay. I was out riding.

Got a text from dUh! Who is at the Rally. He gave me a challenge suggestion that I found intriguing so here it is for September.

A pic of your CB1100 in front of (or beneath, I guess) something elevated that shouldn’t be (ex. A car on a post. A boat on a roof., etc).

[the Ferret]

Good one Sea! (er dUh)

[GoldOxide_imp]

So an octopus, baby shark or sting ray, for example, on the gas tank would qualify?

[emptysea]

Probably not, unless by “gas tank” you mean one that you might find at a refinery.

Both the thing and whatever it’s elevated upon probably need to be larger than the bike. The bike needs to be in front of it.

I thought this was reasonably clear from in my original post. My apologies for any confusion. How about a sample pic :


(note: the white car is where your CB1100 might be)

So you mean that when things in the grey area find themselves in the green area, that's what we're looking for?
