Closest I could get to inflatable St. Nic. Will it do? (-2* C. tonight BTW)

Looks good to me. Just today I made a loop through the most likely places in town hoping to spy Mr. Claus but came up empty.

OUTSTANDING!! I knew you guys would come through. Next challenge?

btw; did you have a partner in crime or carry a tripod?

I couldn't find my tripod (underneath too much junk in garage) so I figured I could set it on a parked car across the street. When I was trying to set up the camera on a brand new car (worried the car alarm was going to go off) a few of the neighbours came out of their houses (3 different houses). It was almost midnight and -2* C so the neighbours were a bit curious when they heard a motorcycle pull up. One guy yelled out, "Hey, is that a Triumph?" and came over to look at the bike. What are the chances there would be an "Old Triumph Guy" in the bunch? He was "half in the bag" too. I asked him if he could take the shot and he was pretty happy to. He got it in one go just before the batteries gave out so I was pretty lucky.

So, for the next challenge, how about your bike in front of cooking meat. It's got to be cooking. Backyard barbies are okay for you riders that don't get out much. Good luck.

This challenge was meant for me... today I just happen to be smoking a pork butt on the Big Green Egg. Started it at 7:00 this morning. Should be ready around 2:00 p.m.

Shot from my deck looking down into the back yard... couldn't get the bike up 14 steps

235 deg for 7 hours

you should smell my butt

Next challenge: your bike being washed... like this is good

one more for good measure

ummmmmmmmmmm, I'm not too sure I can get away with that particular type of wash job. Will doing it myself be OK If I promise not to wear hot pants and a skimpy T-shirt or does someone else need to be doing the washing?
