CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge

[GoldOxide_imp]

lol - I thought similarly about 1999 and 2000 once upon a time (probably 11:35 am in some classroom wondering why it is taking so long to strike 12 o'clock noon for lunch).

54 years of freedom, Gone. Congratulations!


A segway into an August Forum Monthly Photo Challenge?

 

[emptysea]

OK ... Happy August everyone! Let's clear a couple of things up.

1st - This is the 23rd August of the 21st Century. The 21st century began 1/1/2001. Every bit as worthy of savoring, though.

2nd - Great July topic. Mainly because I was able to stumble upon a classic car and managed to get a photo submitted.

3rd - The Ferret and his military Jeep pic was the first entry for July and so he gets to pick the pic for August. And I have no doubt that an august pick it will be.

Happy, happy MTC!

Personally, I prefer the zero-based numbering convention.

Besides, is "0 A.D." in B.C? Is "0.5 A.D" in B.C.?

= = =

Numbers, numbers, numbers.

Monthly candidate idea:

"Your CB1100 portrait with some numbers"?


Let's see what lucky symbols turn up with the legendary CB.

There is no Year 0 in BC or AD (or BCE or CE if you prefer...which I don't. LOL)

Fun! Too easy, though. The bike says 1100 right on the side. I can just take a picutre of the emblem...

lol - not so fast Gone ... but nice try!

The CB1100 emblem is a part of the CB1100 machine. Hence, it would not satisfy the "candidate request".


And Gone, no, no, no, ... no taking off the side cover and placing it next to the bike.

That would be like taking off your arm, putting beside you and claiming it is not yours.

 

[Gone in 60]

GO, you are lucky that I'm too lazy to go dig in the garage and find one of my spare side covers to put next to the bike to take a picture... just to make a point.

 

[the Ferret]

OK I believe I get to pic this month, and I'm going to make ity an easy one that anyone can get

A pic of your bike with your helmet on the seat

the only caveat being it has to be taken while out on a ride. Can't be in your garage or on your drive way. Background is unimportant although it would be nice if there was something interesting in the background too (but not necessary)

I took today's pic on a ride to Ripley, Ohio, a small town on the banks of the Ohio River about 35 miles upstream from the town I live in. Ripley put out these benches for people to sit on and watch the river flow by, maybe spot a boater/skier/jet skier, or one of the many barges that use the river as a route to get someplace. Ripley has a lot of history due to The John Rankin house which was a safe place for slaves escaping from the south. His house was high on the first hill back from the river and a light hung outside which was very visible from across the river in Kentucky guiding the slaves to freedom.

Steve Stivers, U.S. Representative for Ohio's 15th congressional district
Colonel Charles Young, first black man to achieve the rank of colonel in the United States Army

That's quite a list of prominent people from Ripley. Not sure whether to believe it or not!!

Dude, I just got back to town. I was actually hoping to ride back to Donut Derelicts on Saturday morning. I can get there and back before it gets hot, and Mom's roping me into some family reunion shindig later in the afternoon.

It would be a nice place to get a picture of my bike with my helmet on the seat.

Agreed. And a donut on the helmet.

Maybe it will all work out Gone. Be safe!

Good choice = simple

so, this isn’t an official entry because this is technically cheating. I took these photos about a week ago and only got around to editing them about two days ago, prior to the first of this month. But I like this photo so I wanted to post it lol.

Mikeymike88, that’s a sweet shot. You should submit it for mrprofessionality’s 2024 forum calendar!

Standard Public Service Announcement:

As we delve into this month's photo challenge, remember the dangers about placing a helmet on your seat. This is going back quite a few years, but seconds before I took this photo in Malibu Canyon, there was a helmet on the seat of my Nighthawk. A gust of wind took it over the embankment behind the bike to the rocks below.

I made it home on what was left of my lid and tossed it in the dumpster. Watch for winds when you take your challenge photo, and maybe don't take a photo on the edge of a cliff.

End of Standard Public Service Announcement.

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

lol - alright Gone.

Nice deep blue on that Nighthawk, btw.

 

[Gone in 60]

Thanks, GO. That was a case of taking an average condition bike, painting one rusty bracket, deciding that it made the rest of the bike look shabby, and going overboard.
