Thats a stretch for a narrow building. Its a recycling bin in the middle of a parking lot!:eek: I don't know if a trash can qualifies. I can get the carnival ride tag, fairly easy though and if that trash bin is a narrow building then I can get one that size that acctually holds a person in it.:-s BCCAP it your call I'll be back in an hour and see what the call is.
 
Sorry guys. I had no intention of causing such a head ache. So lets move on. The tag is accepted. To me the game is about exploring where I live, and seeing a little bit of where everybody else lives. I neglected to remember it is also a competition, and that everybody, myself included, enjoys a faster pace. I will be sure to make my future tags more user friendly.

Close, Costco. But we do have Wal Mart as well. Though I've never been in one.
 
Hey. bccap don't sweat it, I was just ragging Monty. I did go and get a narrow building, but it will also serve as the next tag. Heres the first, a carnival ride. They had better, but its only open on the weekend, so this is the only one near the road.

You can't see all the drive up spots, I didn't know I was going to use it as the drive in diner. I was is a hurry to by a 1980 850 G for $200. Pictures to come later. GO get that tag, while I go and get the G.

Was listed at $1,300:eek:, there is a nice one in Daytona for that much. I'm going to see if it will run tomorrow.:pray: The tank is the biggest worry.:( Looks like someone used a sealer in it, and the turpintine has been dripping out the right back corner. Till tomorrow.
 
Monty said:
You talked them down 900 dollars? Wow.

If you want to get technicle, that would be $1,100. No, they were dreaming. $1,300 for a bike that isn't running. I offerd $200 as is with out trying to get it to run. I'm sure they new it wouldn't. You could smell the turpintine yards away. I knew I had other prospects waiting in the wings, so it was take it or leave it. They were desperate for rent money also. I'll try to get it running tomorrow. After I get a new tag if that happens early enough. Worst thing is the tank. I did wait a guy out $1,200 for my '78 1000. It started at $2,000 and I bought it for $800. The guy graduated from U of F, and moved to Cal. to finish educ. Sometimes it pays to wait and sometimes you have to be bold and not worry about offending, like today.

Nice score Rick. Looking forward to your resto thread ?;)

I don't know. I will be a quick flip if it will run. I have a couple of inlaws that want me to find them a cheap bike. This might be the perfect canidate for one of them, being a shafty. Seems like a lot of members that need parts for these Gs so if the engine is bad, I might part it out.
 
Rick. What are we looking for ? A drive in diner, where they serve to you in the car? Or a diner with a parking lot? Or just a diner?

Diner with car service is the intention, but like I said, I didn't put much emphesis on the car service, when I took the photo. So a regular diner will do. It would be nice to see an old one though, but not a requirement to get the tag.
 
I'll be riding past a drive in diner on my way home.
Built in 2010, so its not old, but its a drive in diner. :p
