The basics of this game is that I have a picture of my bike at an "Old Railway Station" so the next person, and it can be from anywhere in the world, takes a Pic of their bike at an Old Railway Station and then takes another Pic of their bike somewhere else (as an example in front of a Bakery) and also posts it here so the next person takes a pic of their bike in front of a bakery and some where else that the next person has to follow and on it goes.
So here is a pic of My k1100 at an Old Railway Station.


Next Please. You have to go for a ride to take the pictures on the day.

I like this concept Rick, soon as i am back on the road i will join in.

Me Too!!! As soon as i am back on the road also....

Great idea mate and I will participate....

There is a blog and facebook page Bridge Club that is for folks taking photos of bikes in front of......you guessed it bridges (and other stuff). I've contributed for a while (on the Beemer and the MT350) - gives a great extra purpose to a ride Some great photos of predominantly classic Brit bikes on the FB page as well.

It's a cool idea - theres a fairly long-running thread on one of the other forums I'm a member on.

Question for this one though - do we want old stations or disused ones for the first tag?

Only has to be old, used or unused doesn't really matter.
The train only runs once each month to that one so its almost unused.
Its at Wallangarra which is on the border between Queensland and New South Wales and there are two platforms one each side of the border. The passengers used to change trains and go through customs there in pre Australian Federation days

Sounds like an excuse to get out of the house.
Back shortly.

OK then, I'll see your old railways station...( Black Mountain NSW):



And raise you an " Old wooden bridge on a country road"? ( Somewhere west of Armidale on a shortcut to Bundarra. )



Lovely day for motorcycling, though a bit fresh up here on the tablelands. Soon revived by a crispy bacon and egg roll and a pot of tea and chat with a couple of a Triumph America thingy on their way back to Gympie.

I don't think that we even have a wooden bridge whit any roads on it in Denmark.
They don't last in our climate, so they are all concrete now.
So I would only be able to find a pedestrian bridge, in a park, or some where like that. So I'll wait for the next round.

Allowances must be made for local conditions I would think....so why not just a bridge on a country road? Might be best to ask RickG first, as he instigated the idea.

I'm easy but it does need to be at least a country road. The ride is the purpose.

giving me ideas ....woohoo

It's not a wooden bridge, but it's a country road.

Bridge over the upper Hudson River in Adirondack park, New York.

In the interest of full disclosure, I cheated. This picture is two years old. Sorry!

Right, the sun appeared today, so it was off to find a bridge.
OK Sean, I'll see your bridge:-



And I'll raise you a ford:-



Paul.

nice

Great thread mates. I luv that color on yours Paul!!

OG

What tires are you running Paul? Couldn't tell from the pic...

Hi OG,
Bridgestone Battlax BT45's.
I had planned to use the solo K for this w/e's camping in Suffolk, but after the few hours of sunshine this morning, it's pouring again so, I might revert to the outfit. I've never got the hang of sliding a solo round corners, but, as Sean will agree, sliding sidecars is great fun.
Cheers,
Paul.

Mmmm...powerslides!
That ford might be a bit hard for Aussies to match....well...one with water in it anyway! Did you ride through it?

that ford hard to match ......no worries ...check this one out

mind you i had just crossed it along with rickg



i better put a pic of a k up to make it relevant

I would probably have had to turn back at that point. The running water would probably have literally floated my boat.

yep .."knee deep"

Thanks mate!

While we were there one brick with a chair came across just fine and his little Mercury was doing just fine.

Sure that wasn't just smoke from leaving it on its sidestand....?
Er....scratch that...lol.

you would be proud seani ....look what else made it accross

Hmmm...I may have to find some water and....experiment.

dont forget to install one way self draining vents ....giggle ....(theres a few marinas near brissy , for ideas )

Will be up that way at the first weekend in August.
Will strap that fairing to the chair if you like.

I did consider a Roman road, but I don't suppose there are any in Oz so I thought a ford (and I don't want to see a picture of a Ford!) might give you a chance.

So who's going to take the challenge?

Paul.

Good question. Who's next?

You must have been crossing this bridge pictured on Google earth 3d. The rendering from 2D to 3D leaves some surprises.



How about crossing this bridge? (watch for the train )
.

This one is very interesting...


I will soon post a real picture.

Cheers,

CF

Ok first I hit the old railway station - In daily use but built in 1863.....



Next off to the wooden bridge...I'll see your structure and raise you a whole village



Then down to a ford...(too deep to risk going through on the bike but I've use this shortcut many times and yes it is a public road! If you look in the distance you'll see where it exits the river upstream.



and now, having seen sidecar Paul's ford....I'll raise you a forge!!



A great excuse for a spin...Onya Rick G

That's not a ford...that's a fishing spot! Nice job.

excellent work 88 ...woohooo !!!

You only need to do the previous one and a new one so the station or bridge wasn't really necessary but worthwhile.

What was forged there it looks like just a wooden door, a big one but a door

Rick G wrote:You only need to do the previous one and a new one so the station or bridge wasn't really necessary but worthwhile.

I understood that Rick. Both were local and gave me an excuse to extend the spin - I couldn't resist the woodenbridge pic since I saw Sean's as it appeals to my quirky sence of humour. Worth noting for others who follow tho' !

re the forge....It was the farrier/blacksmith's forge for horse shoeing, hence the shape of the cut stone door. The horseshoe shape would be more visible were it not for the vehicles parked in front. Quite small inside as the shoeing was done outside on a fine day and the horse only put half in on a wet day. There are a good few in this style around these isles but I would be interested to see old forges from America, Australia or Coninental Europe.

Yeah I figured that you knew but had visions of some poor bugger doing a 5 day ride to get 67 photos and then posting them to find that someone else had trumped him by 5 minutes.

How about something old/new, something old and my baby Ashley
Old: look across the road and the 1961 Ford Falcon (my old man had one)
Old/New : Triumph ... wtf ... i think that they lost the plot.

edit : Please ignore this if you have seen it, I am just fiddling to get my post-the-pic skills back

it should be just a link... click on it and tell me if you see a pic please

As before,I click on the link and it takes me to a log in page. I suspect it might be YOUR log in page.

Thank you Saxon7 I am struggling to allow people to see my pics without "sharing" via controlled email system...
I'll work on this.

Hi.

I use Picasa
My bike

Can you see the linked picture?

hey ned ......

the "https" = secure link ...so you must have them already in your trusted websites (in internet settings )
so i guess youve got to find a way of doing a public share ?
just a heads up

looking forward to the pic mate

Working for me Ned.

Thank you 88, i finally learned the trick ... yes it was logical, but it took a while and now I feel like I am about to graduate as Bachelor of Google+ I am not sure but I think that Facebook has nothing to be concerned about G+ as yet

Just as a parting shot to cement my newly learned skill, here is something old (me) a lovely old pub (Gorge 4th Inn in Picton, NSW) and a young live band in the background. I promise that I am squinting because of the sun, not the band, beer, bikes or the cigar
