CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge

Just looked it up, we average 176 days of sunshine a year here in Cinti ...that means 189 days without

I only ride an average of 305 days a year lol. I'm at 290 as of today

My internet search says average is 205 sunny days for the States, Portland is at 145. Sunny days must mean "kind of sunny". But Oregon's saving grace is that I think we have the most beautiful summers, at least of anyplace Ive lived. From mid June to end of Sept (the best month in my view), we have 75-85 degree days, not too much humidity, very few rain days, and glorious mc riding.

Since our classes where I teach don't start till late September, I always have post Labor Day to explore for 2 weeks with little traffic on the already forlorn hiways of eastern OR. But there's always something...it's also primet time for forest fire spoke to deal with.

I thought this would be an easy one. I live in the country there are red houses and red barns everywhere, problem is non are close enough to the road to get a good pic. Thought I'd find a firebush close to the road, and I did, but they are past their prime in mid-November and not the firey red I was looking for. So rode past a Firehouse hoping a Fire truck would be out. Nope, but their garage door was the right color

and to make it a 2-fer....my favorite tool for maintaining my CB is my digital tire gauge which also happens to have a color matching face

Wow...two DLXs, one with 4 in 4, the other 4 in 2 ...red on read + red GW + red truck + red t/p guage as a bons :clap:...

Nice job, guys! Yeah, I thought it would be easy too… I know there are some brick walls and a large fire station near me. But not enough red!

My museum is red outside, but I’m not going till the end of the month, and I won’t be able to ride that day.

Same here, but it was fun all the same "lookin' for red in all the wrong places".

Finally got a chance to find something big and red!

 

[pdedse]

Cool! So old windows just bricked up at some point?

 

[Gone in 60]

I imagine. This is the back side of a building that faces the main boulevard through town, and may have had an office or residence in the back. The back side of the block became a parking lot, so all of the rear sides were boarded or bricked up.

New month, new challenge!

If we're taking Pdedse's credit card and air gauge as the official first entry of November, I'm good with that. However, there seemed to be some controversy.

Ferret sent pictures of turkeys, which he may consider one of the most useful things for his motorcycle. His business, not questioning.

Suhawk submitted a color-matched background.

So, who's turn does that make it?

 

[Frenchie]

Maybe a picture with Santa (could be a costume, inflatable, sign, etc) or Xmas decoration for something less challenging. Just an idea...

 

[Cormanus]

EmptySea runs this show.

 

[the Ferret]

Lol I only posted pics of turkeys because someone mentioned it and the opportunity arose ( I have wild turkeys in my yard everyday)

I assure you I wasnt first and its not my pick

 

[the Ferret]

Looking back, I'd say it's Suhawk post #4899 since pdedse post # 4892 said his wasn't an official entry

EmptySea was apparently on the forum yesterday morning, but never commented on this

Correct! Let it be Suhawk, mine was just me being silly.

 

[peterbaron]

I am for Suhawk as well !!

 

[suhawk305]

No word from EmptySea.
How about a picture of your CB in front of a restaurant, diner, etc. where you go for breakfast.

 

[Cormanus]

Let's go with suhawk's idea.
