dynodon Posted March 28, 2012 #1861 Posted March 28, 2012 I have been on my bike the last four days, 1500 miles to Atlanta and back to help a friend pick up a new bike. I know where there is "elevated" transportation in a couple spots, but as usual weather is supposed to be iffy next couple of days. Keep up the good work everyone!
KarlS Posted March 28, 2012 #1862 Posted March 28, 2012 This came in a e-mail to me today. Good timing for the target, bad timing for money and gas.

Rick Haywood Posted March 28, 2012 #1863 Posted March 28, 2012 I have been on my bike the last four days, 1500 miles to Atlanta and back to help a friend pick up a new bike.

Where you at Don that the weather is suppose to be iffy?
dynodon Posted March 28, 2012 #1864 Posted March 28, 2012 Rick, Well, last night was storms, and I thought I saw a forecast for rain today, but looking outside, I see that isn't the case. Looks perfect. Want to go for a ride and get the target together?
Scooter Bob Posted March 28, 2012 #1865 Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) Where you at Don that the weather is suppose to be iffy? Ya, that's what I was wondering. :confused24:I just put on 80 miles since leaving Rick's in gorgeous sunshine. I guess it's a good thing I headed South , instead of West 15 miles. Later, Scooter Bob Edited March 29, 2012 by Scooter Bob
Scooter Bob Posted March 29, 2012 #1866 Posted March 29, 2012 Hey Joe, Do Camels count?? They use them for transportation in the desert. The reason I ask is that I've seen a lot of these camel silouettes today (see pic attached below).:crackup: I did see a nice semi truck and trailer around mile 71 on I55 in MO being used as a bilboard, but I couldn't get to it for a pic. I'll keep hunting tomorrow in Arkansas. Later, Scooter Bob The current target is... You, Your Bike and an Elevated mode of transportation, by etcswjoe see examples here... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showpost.php?p=668169&postcount=1854

Scooter Bob Posted March 29, 2012 #1868 Posted March 29, 2012 I found this right away this morning, just west of Corning, AR. But it's pretty lame, I'll keep hunting. This is an excellant target, Joe, I just can't seem to find anything so far on this trip. Within an hour from home I could show you a dump truck, Oshkosh truck, bulldozer, and semi tractor/trailer mounted vertical, all an poles. And a farm tractor on top of a silo. Later, Scooter Bob

Scooter Bob Posted March 29, 2012 #1870 Posted March 29, 2012 It qualifies but it's up to you, It almost looks like it would have fit the home made mailbox. I say keep hunting everybody, we can do better than a lawn tractor on a 5 foot pole. Later, Scooter Bob
Scooter Bob Posted March 30, 2012 #1871 Posted March 30, 2012 I'm a little happier with this find. It's about 26 miles east of Foreman, AR. If Joe is ok with no wheels? The next target is... A pic of you and your bike and a hub cap hanging on a building. Happy Hunting, Scooter Bob

A pic of you and your bike and a hub cap hanging on a building. Happy Hunting, Scooter Bob Wicked, I had not even thought about a boat I think I will take the rest of the day off and go look for a hubcap.
dynodon Posted March 30, 2012 #1873 Posted March 30, 2012 There used to be an entire building covered with hubcaps on the south side of Peoria, was there about a year ago. I guess I could cheat, I have an old spinner hubcap off a 50's Oldsmobile, that I could hang on one of my buildings but that wouldn't be nice!
KarlS Posted March 30, 2012 #1874 Posted March 30, 2012 I know of a building that is covered on all sides with hub caps, but it's 32F and been sleeting and now :snow2:ing. Oh well, supposed to warm up a bit Monday.
Flyinfool Posted March 30, 2012 #1875 Posted March 30, 2012 I know of a building that is covered on all sides with hub caps, but it's 32F and been sleeting and now :snow2:ing. Oh well, supposed to warm up a bit Monday. Hey We are supposed to be in the mid 70s and sunny on Sunday, as soon as we are done with that I'll pack it up and sent it across the pond with over night delivery, just for you.
