I found leftover Halloween decoration...will that count? They had a Christmas tree in the window too, so perhaps the ghoul is a permanent installment above their garage. I felt a bit like a creep pulling up in front of their house for a photo...

If it does, next tag is for those brave against cold: a half-frozen pond, preferably with stones like a stone wall.

[Edited to try to get the image order right!]

What say you WFD? I'm OK with it - just to get the Tag rolling again; but it's yours to say.

Helllloooooooo.......? Is anybody oouuuuuuuuuuuutttttt......... therrrrrrrrrrreeeeee.............

Cheshire · Post by **Cheshire** » Mon Feb 14, 2011 5:27 pm

The half-frozen pond. There are even stones on the far bank.

The new tag! Your scooter with a thermometer not on your residence's premises. Basically, your scooter and the temperature.

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Tue Feb 15, 2011 12:42 am

Thanks, Cheshire, for getting Tag moving again.

Quezzie · Post by **Quezzie** » Tue Feb 15, 2011 8:24 pm

Yay, tag started again!

(Originally, I had this one with 27 degrees, but it's hard to read)

New tag: Your scooter, and a pub with a character mascot. Like Captain Seaweed here, immortalized in the window painting.

BootScootin'FireFighter · Fri Feb 18, 2011 2:21 am

YAY, scooter tag is back! Thanks for finding that stone wall near a lake, that was a long ride away for me.... Still don't know where I'd find one for sure.

BootScootin'FireFighter · Fri Feb 18, 2011 2:30 am

New tag... Scooter in front of a National Park Service sign. (Please have the official Nation Parks Service logo). This could be a National Park, National Battlefield, National Monument, National Scenic Highway, National Historic Sight, National Wildlife Refuge, National Recreation Area, National Seashore, National Forest, etc, etc. Break out of the gloomy winter blues and go visit a National Park near you!

Quezzie · Post by **Quezzie** » Sun Feb 20, 2011 4:51 am

The only state park in little Rhody, right in the heart of downtown. Aww, it's so cute.

New tag: An aquarium or cool aquarium shop. Check out that wall painting and neon!

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Sun Mar 06, 2011 9:56 pm

How did I miss this? Nicely done, Quezzie!

okcgravity · Post by **okcgravity** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 5:44 pm

Here we go, Nice reflection shot.

Next one is perhaps a tricky one. And If it is deemed unacceptable I will redo.

Your scooter with an "Evil Twin" some Motorcycle that shares ANY trait with your scooter. Here my evil twin rocks the steer horns.

Quezzie · Post by **Quezzie** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:26 pm

Nice shot, with the reflection! Steer horns are awesome too, do you usually ride around with those? :D

KRUSTYburger · Post by **KRUSTYburger** » Sat Mar 12, 2011 2:46 am

I haven't seen ANY motorcycles similar to mine. Does the fact that it has 2 wheels and a seat count?

okcgravity · Post by **okcgravity** » Sun Mar 13, 2011 10:18 pm

Yes the Steer horns are on all the time. I might take them off if it looks like days of rain coming.

I left it pretty vague, Any trait. So if they are both black thats cool. Or find one with whitewall tires. This kind of stuff.

BootScootin'FireFighter · Sun Mar 27, 2011 1:57 am

let's get this game moving along...

here's my buddy "the mothership", next to my evil twin, "little boy blue", next to several other BLUE motorcycles (3 in all)

BootScootin'FireFighter · Sun Mar 27, 2011 2:06 am

next tag, a VERY tall communications tower. This hideous monstrosity, the Hughes Memorial Tower, looms high above the Brightwood neighborhood of NW Washington, near Georgia Ave. and Peabody St. at 761 feet tall.

AL GRANDE · Post by **AL GRANDE** » Sun Apr 17, 2011 2:59 am

I'm hoping this is posted in the right section. My Blur in Midtown Sacramento

BootScootin'FireFighter · Sun Apr 17, 2011 3:15 am

how 'bout that antenna?

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Sun Apr 17, 2011 5:38 am

Al Grande,
The idea of Scooter Tag is that someone (in this case Boot Sccotin' Fire Fighter) posts a picture of his scoot with an object (in this case a communication tower).

Your mission, if you wish to accept it, is to take a picture of your scoot with a communication tower then an second picture with you scoot in front of, behind, next to... another object.

If you look back a couple pages, you'll find a table of all the items that have been used in the Tag. We'd prefer that you choose something that hasn't been used before. That might sound hard to do, but really, the possibilities are endless.

So grab your camera, head on out and get the Tag rolling again!

BootScootin'FireFighter · Wed May 04, 2011 12:30 pm

anybody still playing? weather is perfect, let's get it rollin again.

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Wed May 04, 2011 6:07 pm

I'm still here, I just missed two of the best months of the year in Phx for riding. But I'm pretty much back, I think, and I have an idea for the perfect next tag.

So anyone interested (AL GRANDE, I didn't piss you off did I?) you have a day or so to beat me to the punch.

ScootLemont · Post by **ScootLemont** » Wed May 04, 2011 10:23 pm

we have antennas & cell towers... but nothing "VERY tall"

Oh, I missed that.

SuperFlyBuddy · Post by **SuperFlyBuddy** » Thu May 05, 2011 4:22 am

Fantastic weather for me this week (finally) but I live in a fairly small community (comparatively) so nothing VERY Tall around here either.

KRUSTYburger · Post by **KRUSTYburger** » Thu May 05, 2011 12:06 pm

Hmm... I think we have that exact same kind of tower here. I had just assumed someone else has already tagged it. I'll try to find it on my lunch break.

BootScootin'FireFighter · Thu May 05, 2011 7:54 pm

It doesn't have to be VERY tall, that trying to make it interesting. If it's over 100', that's good enough and we'll get this game moving. I found it fascinating that in this metro area of over 5 million people, the antenna is the tallest structure.

SuperFlyBuddy · Post by **SuperFlyBuddy** » Sat May 07, 2011 9:01 pm

Not exactly a VERY tall tower at 130' but it made front page news a couple times and had a half dozen articles written about it. It sits atop a knoll amongst houses and that's the best/closest picture I could get.

SuperFlyBuddy · Post by **SuperFlyBuddy** » Sat May 07, 2011 9:06 pm

Next tag: A community college

Show here is Rogue Community College Riverside Campus.

Glen G · Post by **Glen G** » Sun May 08, 2011 12:33 am

Chandler Gilbert Community College in Gilbert AZ

New Tag: Scooter in front of Fraternity sign @ college

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Sun May 08, 2011 5:42 am

Now we're talkin'. I just might even be able to duplicate that, But when to get out?

Glen G · Post by **Glen G** » Sun May 08, 2011 6:15 am

Get on it SYD! LOL, let me know when we're going for a ride!
Glen

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Tue May 10, 2011 2:04 am

I came pretty close, but the time of day is off:

Now, for your tagging pleasure, A cell tower disguised as something else (in this case, a palm tree).

Glen G · Post by **Glen G** » Tue May 10, 2011 3:46 am

U are da man! Dumpster behind Fraternity row ASU... True story. The day I shot that photo, there was a very very pretty girl just a few yards from that spot. It was about 6:30am and she looked like she had just slept with the whole frat and been kicked out. I said are you OK? And she said "I guess, but I need a ride",,, being a married guy, I called her a cab (no extra scooter helmet).

I have this on the SCMP message board for our scooter tag if you want to post it.

On to a cell phone tower...

SuperFlyBuddy · Post by **SuperFlyBuddy** » Thu May 12, 2011 1:29 am

Not exactly sure what kind of tree it's supposed to be. Sorta looks like a Charlie Brown Christmas tree to me.

SuperFlyBuddy · Post by **SuperFlyBuddy** » Thu May 12, 2011 1:34 am

Next tag: Harley Davidson dealership

It must be during their regular business hours. No sneaking in there after they close. I didn't have the guts to take a picture of the two guys standing outside the service department that were staring at me.

Glen G · Post by **Glen G** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:41 am

Harley, Man, that's too easy

, anything special at the shop? (Funny you post, I"m about to post one of our club rides to leave from the local Harley shop). G

SuperFlyBuddy · Post by **SuperFlyBuddy** » Thu May 12, 2011 4:30 am

Nope, nothing special. Just outside a Harley dealer. Sounds like you'll have the perfect opportunity on your club ride coming up to snag this tag if somebody else doesn't beat you to it.

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Thu May 12, 2011 5:05 am

There's a couple of those fugly fake pine tree cell towers in Phx too. Epic fail.

SuperFlyBuddy · Post by **SuperFlyBuddy** » Thu May 19, 2011 1:37 am

Come on people, it's been a week and nobody can find a Harley dealer? This was supposed to be easy!

KRUSTYburger · Post by **KRUSTYburger** » Thu May 19, 2011 2:17 am

Maybe tomorrow on my lunch, I know where one is.

Quezzie · Post by **Quezzie** » Thu May 19, 2011 12:02 pm

The people at Harley in Pawtuket were quite nice to me. Asked if I was looking to trade up, and even when I said no they still let me browse the store, hehe.

New tag: Diner cart! Pictured before you is the Modern Diner, a 1941 Sterling Streamliner, the first diner to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places. They do an amazing array of eggs with things, things on french toast, and pancakes and things. I try to go during the week, since they have a line out the door every weekend morning.

SuperFlyBuddy · Post by **SuperFlyBuddy** » Fri May 20, 2011 5:34 am

Nice job Quezzie stepping up to the plate. Only problem is the closest thing around my parts to a diner cart is a taco truck!

Glen G · Post by **Glen G** » Sat May 21, 2011 3:59 am

OK, just for credit... This place is called "The Duce" in Phoenix and you can't bring scoots inside. So first photo is outside, then the steamliner is actually just inside. Strange but cool place... It's also part boxing ring.

Glen G · Post by **Glen G** » Sat May 21, 2011 4:02 am

New Tag: How about this... In front of a Rare "Scooter Only" Parking sign Motorcycle Only will do but 1/2 credit

This is the Famous "Joe's Farm Grill" Featured on Diners, Drive In's and Dives in Gilbert AZ. He was featured in Scoot Magazine about a year ago or so.

Sorry, had the Piaggio on this day.

Quezzie · Post by **Quezzie** » Fri May 27, 2011 9:42 pm

I'd heard of the legendary 'Scooter Only' parking sign from a friend of mine. According to the tales, it could be found tucked in the far corner of an unmarked parking lot behind Brown University offices, in front of a quaint colonial house. There were two scooter parked in the lot, but I couldn't photograph them and still read the sign. What can I say, Brown professors scoot.

New tag: Baseball stadium! Pictured here is McCoy Stadium, in Pawtucket, RI. Batting practice within, mascot is optional. :D

Plisar · Post by **Plisar** » Sat May 28, 2011 5:47 pm

Ok, so this is at University of California, San Diego's 'baseball stadium', complete with batting practice (and a guy thinking I'm nuts).

But I wasn't satisfied, so I drove down to get this shot:

Your task follows next.
