Oh! It's famous, now let's see who can tell me why!

i give up.  where is it?

[Wrongway]

 Not Yet! But a clue, there is a 502 with his name on it.

Much as I like the photo threads on single bikes, wanted to get a thread started where all bikes could participate. JC's photo of his scoot above the Golden Gate gave me an idea.

Post a photo of your bike at a location everyone will recognize. Could be scenic, could be a movie location or in front of a famous building or sign. Just something where you don't have to explain the location. Kind of a CVO travelogue to famous places.

Hoist's garage would qualify as a nationally famous building.

I'll start by reposting JC's photo and one of my own.

Wrongway,

I started this thread and I reiterated what I hoped it was for a few pages ago. While I like your scoot, the photo looks like the back of any industrial building in the US (or anywhere else on the planet). If we have to guess where it is and you have to give us obscure clues, perhaps you want to start a thread that is titled "Where's Waldo?" (if Waldo is the name of your bike) and post it there.

If you look at the first photo I started the thread with, if was of JC's bike next to some obscure bridge in a city no one knows the name of. Hope you're getting the gist here.

You mean like: Famous AND recognisable?    har.  spyder

 Let's see you in front of Jay Leno's garage! Oh, I forgot, this is your thread, so I have removed the picture that offends you!

Don't recall indicating I was offended but thanks for the response.

Buy Early,

I think you starting this thread was a cool idea.  I agree with JC that some have "missed the mark" on the whole purpose of it... The term "famous" would indicate that it is in fact recognizable and therefore there should be no need to state where your scoot is parked.  Thankfully the fog cleared so we could view that familiar looking bridge in your 1st post!  Having said that, I realize that my 2nd post (#336) on this thread stretched the rules (famous locale) a bit with my pic of my wife and P.M., but hopefully everyone can appreciate my excitement with accomplishing a mighty task.  

This is a fun thread and it's a hoot seeing all the cool places members have travelled on their bikes.  

In the spirit that this thread was started, I submit another "photo of my scoot at famous local" (with my better half), although I believe there has already been a few with the same backdrop.

Thanks for starting this thread 1-1/2 years ago for everyone's enjoyment!

Griz,

Thanks for the great post. In all honesty, people can post anything they want in this thread. I just thought it would be cool to see our bikes in front of some of the great places on earth (wish the European, Australian and Asian members would step it up a bit). If someone thinks that place is Jay Leno's garage, I'm fine with that. Just don't make me guess and feel like a fool if I don't "get it".

I think it would be great if someone posted a photo of their bike with nothing but clouds in the background and said it was the Golden Gate back there covered in fog. I'd be cool with that, they were there. Just don't make me guess what's in the fog. I work hard enough all day guessing what people want and I just want to see photos of great bikes (even with people on them) in cool locations.

Thanks for sharing your travels!

My wife expects me to guess what she really means nearly everytime she talks.  Then when I tell her "well, I thought you meant what you said" she gets so mad at me.......like it's my fault that she didn't say what she meant in the first place.

I'm with you.....not participating in guessing games here, I have a wife for that.

By thw ay Grizz.....I see the humidity lifted enough that I can recognize the location of the bouy in the pic above.

Yep, keys........was very nice when we were there!

the trip to the keys is a must for all harley owners... like a pilgrimage

I think just about anybody could name these mountains.......the Grand Tetons.

Another location that everybody will recognize......four corners.
