A bit tough. 3 dragon statues downtown but none where I can get the scooter in the photo.

TAG - fountain honoring William Mulholland, the father of LA's water system. Unfortunately the fountain is turned off right now so I drew the water in 😛

I could cheat on that one easy, have a 1947 Farmall in barn, wife has a GTV in garage and there are lots of woods out side my back door. Problem is it cold and rainy and don't want to get the Farmall and GTV wet and muddy! Plus the heat from woodstove feels too good right now!

As long as you got on the scooter and rode it out of the barn to take the photo, that would qualify. But the main thing is you would be participating!!!!! I didn't read anything in rules about distance required to ride.

First of all, I'd like to compliment you on that beautiful Liberty....she is very photogenic!!!!
As long as someone takes the photo AFTER the posted tag and rode the scooter, it should be ok (my opinion....you know ROFL emoticon ).
Cheating would be a rascal that posts a photo they had on file and never got their scooter out. But a file photo for the new tag is accepted to be able to keep the game going without waiting for a new tag post. Again, I'm new here and if this is not the accepted practice, set me straight because I've not read through the whole thread and I know things change.
I'm just wanting to have fun and not argue over trivial matters.
As an example, on another forum, I posted a church bell and just stated the new tag was a bell to keep it open for more participation. The rider that grabbed it posted a photo of Taco Bell. It was funny, still a bell, and kept the game moving in fun.

So now to get an ALABAMA marker/sign. What would be acceptable for a non-USA rider to participate?

Really appreciate it!! And I'd have to agree, is a very beautiful scoot. Have owned a multitude of motorcycles over the years, but this one takes the cake for my favorite!

And of course, all of this is in good fun! Would be great to see a scoot out on a working farm with its equipment. Thats ultimately whats so incredible about this site and this thread, you get a glimpse of what the day-to-day life is of other like minded folk all over the world, or of what their community has to offer. Placing any mandated rules over that would only take away from the fun right?

I'd vote to say a EU sign would suffice for our friends over the pond? Even open it up to Welcome signs to interesting sounding towns near by?? Example, did you know there is a town in Arkansas called Toad Suck? Now that'd be a winner!

We've several in 'Bama, but the best one (again, my opinion) is Smut Eye, Alabama Clap emoticon

I'm not ignoring your tag....It will be a 6 hour round trip for me to get it, so it may be a few days unless someone else gets it first.

Man, could you imagine having to tell everyone you live in Smut Eye?? I'd feel so dirty 😅


But thats a heck of a trip! Guess Im lucky, I live in Texas but a 5 minute walk puts me in Arkansas, a 30 minute drive puts me in Louisiana and a 45 minute drive drops me in Oklahoma. Easy pickens!

Well as the nearest border from here would be about 90 miles one way and with the temperature in the mid 30's and probably going lower I think I will have to pass! Maybe next June!

New-new Tag: Your bike next to a Stateline marker, Welcome to (insert: your hometown) sign, County sign (more interesting name the better!) And for our European brothers and sisters, how about a EU sign or something of the like?
