Cerviperus Posted February 26, 2009 #452 Posted February 26, 2009 Hey Mike will these work??? Up here where we get all that white stuff, a plow and snowblower go hand in hand!!! Let me know if these are legal.If not, I got it covered! Either way, let us know who needs to come up with the next target!
painterman67 Posted February 26, 2009 #453 Posted February 26, 2009 Technicly he did say a snow plow but either works for me. Guess it's up to Mike. I'l be keeping an eye out for the next target. Looking forward to a reason to get out in the cold. Although not as cold here. David
big mike Posted February 26, 2009 #454 Posted February 26, 2009 If not, I got it covered! Either way, let us know who needs to come up with the next target! I just realized that it was YOU your bike and a plow, so I give it up to Cerviperus who actually followed the directions correctly!!! Way to go. What's the next one buddy??? Big Mike.....who didn't follow directions so well!
Cerviperus Posted February 26, 2009 #455 Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) The next target shall be... You, your bike, and a public sign w/ the letter 'X' in it somewhere. NOTE: XXX signs do not count. Nor do street signs. These would be too easy (depending on your location). Hoping this one isn't too difficult, but it should involve a little scouting. Good luck! Edited February 27, 2009 by Cerviperus Changing the target to be a bit more challenging.
painterman67 Posted February 26, 2009 #456 Posted February 26, 2009 does that include street signs, highway signs and the like? David
Cerviperus Posted February 26, 2009 #457 Posted February 26, 2009 does that include street signs, highway signs and the like? DavidI guess technically it would, since I didn't state otherwise, but I actually thought about that earlier. It would be really easy for someone to grab a picture with a railroad crossing sign. So unless someone is really opposed to me changing the target now, let's eliminate road signs and the like. I was hoping for it to be a "little" challenging, and force people to look for a store, restaurant, etc. with an 'x' in it. I failed to remember how nitpicky the rules had to become to avoid easy outs!
painterman67 Posted February 27, 2009 #458 Posted February 27, 2009 works for me . Thats why I was wondering. To many highway signs here in NC that say exit so and so. I'll be on the look out. David. Ps just got baqclk from a ride tonight. Went by 5 or 6 signs like what i was talking about.
MikeM8560 Posted February 27, 2009 #459 Posted February 27, 2009 If not, I got it covered! Either way, let us know who needs to come up with the next target! cool I did say plow
Scooter Bob Posted March 6, 2009 #460 Posted March 6, 2009 We'l find an "X" later today, at least 100 miles from where we live in Fox Lake, WI and have the pic here Friday night. This should be fun!!! Later, Scooter Bob and Karen PS. That is if we can figure out how to download the pic?? See you all tonight.
Scooter Bob Posted March 7, 2009 #461 Posted March 7, 2009 It seemed just too easy to find a business with an "X" in the name where we live in FoX Lake, WI, so we rode 110 miles south to FoX Lake, Il today to look there. Found a place called EXclusive Automotive center that sells dress up goodies for cars and trucks. As we are new to posting, we'll start trying to get the pics on here. Hopefully we'll have them up in a little bit. Scooter Bob and Karen PS, what a great day for a ride in March in Wi. 220 mile round trip. Cool when we left and cool when we got back, but in the low 60's in Northern IL early afternoon.
Scooter Bob Posted March 7, 2009 #462 Posted March 7, 2009 By jove, I think we've got 'em. Here should be pictures of the "X" at EXclusive Automotive center. If so, and we are the winners of this prize, I believe we get to pick the next target. If that's the case, we want to see you and your bike in front of a John Deere combine at an implement dealer. Have fun and by all means, enjoy the ride!! Scooter Bob and Karen
RedRider Posted March 7, 2009 #463 Posted March 7, 2009 Glad you had I nice ride today Bob. Was thinking about your invite while I was tooling around in the truck. RR
Scooter Bob Posted March 8, 2009 #464 Posted March 8, 2009 I read through this whole thread yesterday to see what other targets have been used (probably should have done that before we picked the new one). We could have picked any color combine, but I just happened to pick the green one. Sorry As far as you're other hobby, I had a 67 1/2ton 2wd 266v8 3 on the tree in high school. After I moved to the Beaver Dam area, I had a 66 3/4 ton 4wd I6 4 on the floor with a factory pto winch bumper(what a beast of a truck). After that I had around a 62 1/2 ton 2wd with the slant 4 (looks like the left bank was cut off, same rocker cover as the v8) and 3 on the tree. Lastly, I needed a plow truck where I moved in 2000 and found a 72 scout 4wd with a 304 auto and plow. There all gone now, but I always liked the looks of the 60's trucks, must be why Dodge tried to copy them in 93. Glad you're keeping the scavenger hunt going. Seems like a lot of fun to us and we'll be participating a lot more. I hope it stays active. All but a couple of things that have been on the list could be found within 100 miles of here. Come to think of it, maybe we'll just go find everything that's already been found. Later, Scooter Bob and Karen
Scooter Bob Posted March 8, 2009 #465 Posted March 8, 2009 The weather has changed a bunch since Friday, because I sat in front of the computer and did this instead of riding.

IH Truck Guy Posted March 8, 2009 #466 Posted March 8, 2009 Scooter Bob,this has been a fun thread...We have had some slow times,but when the snow is done and over,we will get more people to participate... I think that the hardest part about this thread is remembering to take the camera along.:whistling: Not that it's ever happened to us.....:crackup:
Scooter Bob Posted March 8, 2009 #467 Posted March 8, 2009 We'll probably leave the camera in the bike like we did last year when we toured all 107 of the Rustic Roads in the state. Our bigger problem will be getting back to the computer. We often pack the tent and leave for a few days at a time. If this starts getting replies back too fast, we'll be 4 targets behind when we get home again. But don't worry, we'll still have fun, Looking forward to meeting sometime, and maybe seeing that truck collection. Have you got any from the 60s?? Later, Scooter Bob and Karen

Later, Scooter Bob and Karen That's cool that you were able to hit all the rustic roads.I post a link every spring to let everyone know about the rustic roads program in Wisconsin.. All of my trucks are from the '70's..... What ABATE region do you belong to??? We are going to join 1A or 1F..We are kinda in the middle.....
Scooter Bob Posted March 8, 2009 #469 Posted March 8, 2009 Region 1I, Dodge county. I'm the region rep. Paul Vita is the rep in 1A and has really turned thing around there the last couple years. Meetings are the second Tuesday of the month at 7:30 at Kokopelli's, 6001 W Madison St, West Allis. Richie Thompson is the new Rep in 1F. His meetings are the second Thursday of the month at 7:30 at Boomers Pub and Grill N29 W24483 Watertown Rd (hwy m) Pewaukee. I'm sure either one would welcome you to a meeting without being a member yet if you want to find out what's going on in either Region. By all means, help protect your right to ride. We just had a lobby day a couple weeks ago. Check out the pics at www.abatewis.org. Check out the calendar of events while your there. Later, Scooter Bob

Scooter Bob Posted March 9, 2009 #471 Posted March 9, 2009 Here's the snow plow and the snowman with the helmet. Ya, it's the same bike we put 220 miles on 3 days ago. 2 days later, had to put the plow back on the truck and clean up 5 inches. Today it's nice enough and almost safe enough to ride again. Got to love WI, Scooter Bob
MikeM8560 Posted March 9, 2009 #472 Posted March 9, 2009 prety goog bob, 2 old targets in one pic . we hd have to use white sand down here. I wonder if that would have been ok a Sand snowman. reminds me of that old song mr sandman
Scooter Bob Posted March 15, 2009 #473 Posted March 15, 2009 Please, somebody, hurry up and get this. Should be easy most anywhere. Supposed to be in the 60's here after work tomorrow. We can't go get this target, because we set it, so we need a new one to go after. Please..... Good Luck, Scooter Bob and Karen
halfwitt Posted March 15, 2009 #474 Posted March 15, 2009 I can't. Sorry - I have to go to PARIS tomorrow!
