Am awaiting Mr Lurch to "surrender the tag" as per the original rules as posted back in the first page or so (although that is not how the game has been proceeding in recent months).
Mr Lurch did specifically ask for a delay on this sunrize tag, and repeated his request again as recent as this morning.
And the original rules do allow the new tagger to take 48 hours to post the new tag scene, so if that were to occur there would be downtimes anyway.
I do have photo(s) ready and waiting to delcare the scene for the next tag. Will check back in a couple hours.
My observation is that the sun has risen in over 50 time zones since original sunrize tag was declared. Although, granted, many of those times zones dont have any motorcycles.
.
Someone starts the game by posting a picture with the bike posed somewhere specific....the first to post a CLEAR picture ( we just want the bike but it's ok if you're in there too just don't block the bike) gets to choose the next now some allowances have to be made for the size of our group and diversity of locations so say if you choose the next location as in front of city hall it can be any city hall...be creative and let's have some fun...since mine isn't running yet it's in the driveway!!That's where we all start a ride eh...What I'd like to choose as a start is a bike posed in front of a statue or in our case Victoria has this big bear downtown anything along those lines. Use your imagination but keep it generic so everyone can give it a whirl...Give you an extra reason to go ride...!!
I believe the "surrender" thing was only if the picture content was questionable...and Redman...your pic was defiantly a sunrise...
And nothing about changing the rules to get three pictures...
Weekend is a wasting...let's get some tags up...
Lurch can start a pretty sunrise thread if he wishes...

I have reread the rules. I will say that this point is unclear, and can be interpereted either way.
One place says the tagger post a picture that meets the tag and then post another picure making a new tag.
Another place says the original poster acknolodges the picture (and surenders the tag). BUt it doesnt specifically state the order these occure, or that the acknoldgment is to be given before the new tag is presented.
Seems that in recent months anyway (that I have been paying attention to it) that the new poster post the tag and new tag pretty much at same time.
I have pictures available and will pe posting in about half hour. No, insult ment to MR Lurch.

Sunrize this morning
And new tag:
Railroad Trestle.
THe kind made of lumber.
THis one north of Holland MI the other morning.
Other views of same trestle from a different time
And for general interest, another trestle, this one in Hamilton MI
I would have called it "railroad bridge" but I thought the wooden ones are called trestle. Maybe that is not the exact definition of "trestle", but by my expereince that seems to be the common usage.
Probably are lots of wooden railroad bridges in various places where ever there are railroads and creeks and small rivers. Problem would be finding one in place where can pose bike for a picture. That to me is part of the fun of this game.

Ok, ok, calm down everyone. My sunrise suggestion was just to get everyone to slow down and smell the roses. Redman had a sunrise pic (a very good one) so he's free to put up the next tag since you're all chomping at the bit. I've been out on a GS forum ride all day and just now sitting down to the tizzy I unintentionally caused. 
Thanks anyway Mr Redman for your consideration. On with the game........:dancing:

Done, about an hour ago.
You were on a GS related event. Trying to remember if this was when Mr Steve was gonna visit. Will look around for pics somewhere.
>>>later note:
Oaky, now I see the "New England Ride 7/30" in Meeting place.

There are no real judges in this game, just self appointed ones. So I overrule your ruling because I said so....besides I had an important stop this morning on my ride today to discuss the budget crisis, but the big guy wasn't there(see photo)....

I agree! I don't think Judge Judy is a 'real' judge either lol.
Would you believe she is one? She took this job since she's been off the real bench for a bit but my understanding is she's real.
From bio.com
http://www.biography.com/articles/Judge-Judy-9542275
In 1965, she obtained her law degree, passed the New York bar exam, and took a job as a corporate lawyer for a cosmetics firm. Dissatisfied with the role of a corporate lawyer, she left within two years to raise two children, Jamie and Adam. In 1972, a friend from law school told her of a job opening in the New York courts. She took the job and found herself in the role of prosecutor for the family court system. She prosecuted juvenile crime, domestic violence, and child abuse cases. She was quickly recognized as a sharp, no-nonsense attorney.
Her professional success, though, was being achieved at a high private price. In 1976, she left her first husband after 12 years of marriage. She struggled to be present for her children, even while handling her heavy workload of emotionally draining cases in the family courts.
Three months after her divorce, Judy met attorney Jerry Sheindlin; within a year, they were married, in 1978. By 1982, Sheindlin's growing reputation for assertiveness in court inspired Mayor Ed Koch to appoint her to a seat as a judge in criminal court just six months later. As a judge, she continued to blend sympathy for the underdog with withering contempt for the arrogant or devious. Four years later, she was promoted to the position of supervising judge in the Manhattan division of the family court.
In 1990, Judy's father Murray Blum died, at age 70; his death took a remarkable toll on her marriage to Jerry. They divorced—with shocking suddenness. A year later, feeling the tug of family ties -- aside from her two children and his three, they now had two grandchildren -- along with the tug of terrible loneliness, Judy and Jerry got remarried. After remarrying, Judge Sheindlin settled firmly into a renewed mission to dispense justice firmly and fairly.
In February 1993, Sheindlein was profiled in the Los Angeles Times as a kind of hard-hitting legal super-heroine, determined to make the courts work for the common good. The Times piece was quickly followed by a profile on the CBS news program 60 Minutes. After her appearance on 60 Minutes, an agent for Judy approached Larry Lyttle, the president of Big Ticket Television, with the idea of doing a courtroom television program. Lyttle agreed and a pilot for the show was shot

Trestle, it's not wooden but I know it's a trestle, the keep off the trestle sign called it a trestle. Took a Heck of a ride to get it, so I hope it counts...
Next tag, if the judges decide my trestle counts...
That's not it... Too hard for some of you in mooseless places.
That's not it either, just showing why I like little bikes sometimes...
Not it... Wait for it...
Wait for it...

No you don't! It's way too big and heavy for this kind of crap!
I'm off to look at a nicely beat up DR 350 tonight.
But first a beer and a nap, I'm beat up too.
So, Judge Allie, is my trestle going to count as a trestle?
Hi, Tom, (hey, you are home, eh?)
Well, its a big tall railroad bridge with a lot of structure underneath. Is not wooden, but I am easy going enough to say that it was mostly the structure underenath that I was thinking of, (a poured concrete pedistal just isnt the same).
If you say that is actauilly called a trestle, I'll say that is good enough, even though it is angle iron, not wooden.
Plus, looks like you really had to go out of your way to pose bike for that picture.
(If someone has interesting pics of a tag after the tag has been meet, I would say they are welcome to post just for our general interest.)
