Scooter tag anyone?

[ascoda]

Since the board was reset, the old scooter tag sticky thread was lost. I am resurrecting it here on the new board.

Moderators: Can we have this re-stickied?

For those who have not seen it or participated in the past, here are the rules copied from the original thread.

The Rules:

* To start, someone posts a photo of their scooter with a landmark, the person posting the pic would state what will constitute a correct "tag" e.g. scooter in front of a lake.

* Other participants ride to a similar place in their area and take a photo with THEIR scooter in a similar spot.

* The first person to "tag" the photo by posting their photo with their bike gets to post the next photo for people to find.

Here is a link to the thread on the old forum for as long as it lasts:
http://scootdawg.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=20082

Now, there was a list of tags that had not been updated in quite a while. I added all the tags since the last update. As you can see this has been ongoing for some time. We've done well in getting unique tags, there has only been a couple of duplicates.
Onward!

[ascoda]

Here is the current active tag
A giant inflatable flailing arm tube man!
http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/ascoda/tag/tubeman.jpg

Have fun!

[scootnwinn]

So what is the first tag then? I hope we will not hold it to the giant arm guy because I can't find one anywhere...

[scootnwinn]

doh typed to slow. I say we start clean slate style ;)

[teddy554]

yeah i believe were stuck on the green guy on op

[dudley]

okay, the green guy is for extra points.
til then who can get exotic livestock.
by that i mean anything other than standard horse cow or goat.

some kind of fancy cow
its the weekend, lets see what you got.

[scootnwinn]

wow Dudley not right, here is the for real tag crazy waving arm guy (sorry he's red...)



http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j435/alwyswinn/WP_20130301_002_zpsb3c0c43f.jpg

And now the REAL tag

Your bike in a motorcycle only parking zone I accept your offer of extra points and use them to destroy your tag

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j435/alwyswinn/WP_20130301_001_zps4e6cf744.jpg

Any disagreement on the use of my extra points will be duly noted and I will submit to the wishes of the dawgs...

[ascoda]

Your tube man looks like he's having his way with that building.

[scootnwinn]

he was but wouldn't stop and I had to hurry home so I just took the picture sorry if your sensibilities have been offended.

[dudley]

Good job,
I thought we were stuck at the green guy forever.
Oh my beautiful tag, it's melting, melting.farewell my beautiful wickedness Aaaaaaaaaah!

[scootnwinn]

go find the motorcycle parking and retag it I know where there are some ostriches...

[scootnwinn]

I thought the green crazy arm guy would never be found too...

btw the extra points should have gone to ascoda. Not me. I was ready to name him grand champion

[ascoda]

I was at the bank one day when a google street view camera car passed by. I checked the spot every so often, just to see if I was on there. It changed one day, but not to the day when I was there.
That would have been a game ender--Your scoot on google street view.

It's not uncommon for a tag to sit for a couple of months, especially during winter when most scoots up north are hibernating. Spring is coming up there, the scoots will come out again, and the tags will be hopping.

[scootnwinn]

yep its always better when everyone gets on the road

Dudley I was looking at your pic again and that PCX is a sweet ride. Really a fine looking machine...

[scootnwinn]

All right Its a beautiful day out this way and I am leaving for a birthday ride in a minute I expect there to be a new tag when I return. GET OFF THE INTERNET and ride folks remember we have the tradition of "On Any Sunday" to uphold....

[epyon96r]

here we go...
http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/ag102/epyon96r/IMG379_zps564409f7.jpg

[scootnwinn]

ok and the next tag is??....

[epyon96r]

and just to keep the tag ball rolling, this next picture is older(prepaint, mines the one on the left) but the challenge is to post a pic of your scooter next to another scooter. have fun :)
http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/ag102/epyon96r/IMG_20120208_093057_zps75cb8af6.jpg

[scootnwinn]

how about a motorcycle? Does it count if we own both scooters?

[epyon96r]

iits fine if you own both and i will accept a motorcycle as a substitute if you are gonna have a hard time finding a second scooter

[teddy554]

my Vento R4 and Cpi http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h479/teddyc554/IMG_20120323_140303.jpg

[scootnwinn]

Alright Teddy lets see the next tag clock is ticking....

[teddy554]

going to get one now

[scootnwinn]

Ok I leave from work in 3 hours... Would like to tag you right back if possible...

[teddy554]

Alright next tag is scooter in the elements snow, rain, fog. This photo is from ten minutes ago the storm hitting the east coast, Gf and me want a banana split but tastee freez was close so we settled for snicker ice bar from gas station
http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h479/teddyc554/20130305_204914.jpg
108

[scootnwinn]

so what is the tag? A gas station?

[teddy554]

no anywhere out in the elements

[scootnwinn]

so wind counts? How about cold?

[teddy554]

no more like the wet stuff, but if you can prove its windy in a picture ill pass it

[scootnwinn]

ok what's the rules on using pics less than say 4 months old??

[teddy554]

I dont care as long has one of them gets you out and about

[scootnwinn]

cool I'm out and about daily...

[teddy554]

No takers?

[ascoda]

I could have taken a pic of mine in the rain this morning had I brought the camera.

[scootnwinn]

Ok here is the bike right before it left for a ride after I had shoveled snow all morning all the way to the road. I cheated ok this was a month or so ago it won't snow or rain here any time soon...

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j435/alwyswinn/image-2_zpsfbe5ae3c.jpg

Proof of the shoveling

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j435/alwyswinn/image-1_zps0c4cfdf8.jpg

The tag is your scoot in front of (behind whatever) construction equipment same size or larger than the one pictured or in front of any construction site...

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j435/alwyswinn/P1050277_zps2163ec91.jpg

Bonus points if you parked the equipment in front of your scoot for the pic like I did..

TAG YOUR IT!!!

[Firehawk989]

Tag! The tracks on that thing were about as tall as my handlebars!

New objective: Post a pic of your scooter next to a manmade object even bigger than this. I'm going to exclude buildings though because that is too easy!

you got to post a picture yourself of the new tag

[scootnwinn]

yep all tags must be photos

[ascoda]

In essence, you are challenging us to match the photo tag that you found. So get out there again and snap a new pic. You can still change your idea if you find something else along the way.
I had posted this as a construction equipment tag earlier in the game. Didn't figure it was sporting to just re-post it, so left that for you guys. Anxious to see the new tag I have another new one in mind.
http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/ascoda/tag/frontloader.jpg

[Firehawk989]

My bad, new at this. Will get a new one ASAP!

[scootnwinn]

You're forgiven now get snappy with it

[Firehawk989]

New objective: Your scoot at the beach! Can be lake, river, or ocean, since not everyone has ocean near them.

Thanks!

Nice job on yours as well! How does the scoot handle in the snow? >D

[teddy554]

Pretty good most times, I did have a mild wreck today.

[ascoda]

That is so not a beach. I want to see a picture of you at that "beach", on a lounge chair, wiggling your toes in that "sand".

[scootnwinn]

Don't discriminate not all of us have ocean beaches ;)

There is a bit of graffiti on the way home...

[ascoda]

I'm still laughing about teddy's beach. :lmao:
Here is the old graffiti tag I posted. Hot dog man was painted over within a week after this picture.
http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/ascoda/tag/hotdogman.jpg

Here is a fresh one!
http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/ascoda/tag/graffiti_zps2c973801.jpg

Next tag- your scoot with an airplane.
http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/ascoda/tag/plane_zpsb5437c96.jpg

Let's see what you come up with.

[teddy554]

I must say, i sure wouldnt sunbath there lol... but it was the best i could come up with that day. Great picture with the plane that's going to be a hard one. That hot dog is giving out some good advice:D

[bloodymomo]

I live by an airport, ill try to get one tomorrow

[techie610]

We have been left hangin' for a month! :(

My bikes are down (Like my bank account) so I cannot do much.

!Just replying to resurect!

[Firehawk989]

I can't reach the local airport on roads with a 50km/h speed limit.
Does an RC airplane count? lol

[techie610]

lol if it did, I would've had this done a month ago..
Have tons of RC. :D

[ascoda]

You guys need to look for the small airports. 14 airports of various size around Vancouver.
A five minute search found this on the edge of Vancouver.

11814 Baynes Road, Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, Canada

Appears to be a public road that runs right by a gaggle of flying contraptions.
It's all about the ride. Venture forth.

[techie610]

If I could time it right, I have AC130s and F-22 go over my house.. lol

Nope, the Lougheed Highway and the Mary Hill Bypass are 70km/h. (I could probably get around the Mary Hill part, but the Lougheed can't be avoided because of the bridge situation.

I may actually be able to get to YVR, I just can't remember if the speed limit on Grant McConachie way is 50km/h or 60km/h. I'll have a look next time I'm down that way.

[ascoda]

So, are you not allowed on roads with higher than 50km/h speed limit in Canada?
If so, that stinks, since it's hard to find a 50cc that isn't capable of going faster than that.
Here, 50cc's aren't allowed in the Interstate highways where speed limit is 55mph(88km/h) and up. Everywhere else, free to fly.

I don't know if the law here is specific to 50cc's and speed limits, but mine is stock, and therefore only goes about 55-60km/h on roads with hills etc. (Not very flat around here.) If I get around to buying a BBK/exhaust etc. I will feel better about going on roads with higher speed limits when I can safely keep up with traffic.

[epyon96r]

ok guys i live in the houston surrounding area which has several airports and a military airbase place too. i will try my best to get this scooter tag back on its wheels by tomorrow evening.

[epyon96r]

so....i found a plane close to my apts and i got a pic but, i forgot to get a second pic so its still up in the air.

[Firehawk989]

Toss the airplane one up, and then follow it with the next one ASAP.

there we go, next photo soon...

[epyon96r]

lack of creativity and time here, but the next tag is your scooter locked up to something.
p.s. thats my f150 peeking out, he wanted some screen time

http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/ag102/epyon96r/IMG036_zpsde61a86c.jpg (http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/epyon96r/media/IMG036_zpsde61a86c.jpg.html)

[Firehawk989]

Nice one! That an F4?

[keltex78]

Nice one! That an F4?

Yes, it's an F4, but I'm wondering where it is... for some reason, it looks familiar to me...

[epyon96r]

sorry so long, like keltex said, yes it is an f4. I actually found this place at a local VFW location right down the street from my apt.
So yes keltex alot of VFWs have planes in the front so its possible you may have seen a similiar one in your area, or perhaps, you live in the pasadena tx, area and have seen this plane. Tex(as) is in your name...

[scootnwinn]

Ok it has been nearly 3 months so here is my bike locked to some random thing.

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j435/alwyswinn/P1050391_zps8e41b28a.jpg

New tag on the way home today or perhaps for lunch

[scootnwinn]

Here it is the tag is sunflowers but I'm not picky I'll take any giant bunch of flowers

[gy6shortyexhaust]

interesting

[epyon96r]

locked to a bucket. lol thats nice.

[Firehawk989]

Here it is the tag is sunflowers but I'm not picky I'll take any giant bunch of flowers

Not many flowers out here this time of year. Will you accept nice autumn leaves?

[scootnwinn]

Yea anything to get this moving along. What's your tag?

[Firehawk989]

Yea anything to get this moving along. What's your tag?

Seeing as how Halloween is just around the corner, this one should be easy. Your scoot with pumpkins:

[SpunN]

Oh this looks fun! I'm in!

[Jamez]

Bump

somebody kick us off again

[thumper650]

Bump

somebody kick us off again

How about a real estate sign?
If you're interested in the lot, it's on Cross Point Road in Marion, MA

[Scootergrandma]

This was my FAVORITE thing about the old site/board. When we get our new scoots next month, we will SO be playing this.

[sc00ter]

I need to learn how to post photos. I would love to play some scooter tag. I have found many weird things on my boredom/exploring rides that would be hard to beat!

[Scootergrandma]

We should start up playing scooter tag again. After 2 years of being scooterless, hubby and I just bought new scooters today, being delivered tomorrow evening.

[Scootergrandma]

How do I upload a picture? I have a picture of my scooter I would like to upload for Scooter Tag!

[tromper]

Bueller?
Anybody still tracking this?

[jiasder32]

Bikes are well known for individual transportation mostly due to being more reasonable, simpler to work, and more helpful to stop and store than a vehicle. Authorizing prerequisites for bikes are simpler and less expensive than for vehicles in many regions of the planet, and protection is generally less expensive.
