Anyone gets the 6 for a pink truck and if your scooter is pink you also get the matching points on top of that.
No.... Pink flames don't count.

EDIT +6pts if it is a PINK truck/suv
does that mean its just one more point than all other colors, or six more points in addition to it being the same color as your scooter?

im searching real hard for a pink truck, but not if its only one more point.

also...would pink flames count?

sailortot · Post by **sailortot** » Sun Jun 22, 2008 11:19 pm

ok...thanks for clearing that up. i wasnt sure either way.

i think the best chance would be some sort of company vehicle, or an ice cream truck.

does mary kay ever give away hummers (the vehicle, of course)?

Your scooter with a Truck or SUV = 1pt
+ 2pts if photo is taken at a gas station
+ 5pts if the truck/SUV is the same color as your scooter
+ 2pts if you are in the photo
= 10 points

I know the color isn't exact, but it's green!

Thanks! Bought it from Hobby Lobby! I've had it for about a year and use it every time I ride. It's held up really well! (and of course I thought the style was perfect for the Italia):D

heres my scooter as last seen in lawrence. in the background to the right you can see the semi i hit. should be 7 pts.

OKBubbles · Post by **OKBubbles** » Mon Jun 23, 2008 3:46 am

So I've been checking out every gas station I passed since Friday for a blue truck or SUV. This evening Bubbles and I were heading home after her first trip to the grocery store. I'm turning left at a signal, and glance at the station catty-corner to my right -- there's a blue truck filling up right now! I turn left, make a right into a parking lot, pull out and cross four lanes (luckily, they're all clear!), and pull up in front of the truck. I'm signaling to the driver to wait a minute, but he thinks I'm trying to tell him I want the pump lane

. I walk up and try to explain to a very nice man that I want to take a picture of his truck -- he doesn't speak English and thinks I'm trying to sell him a picture. We figure it out, and I ask a gentleman getting out of his car next to us if he'll take the photo. Voila!

Photo +1
Gas Station +2
Blue Truck +5
Me in the pic +2
Total = 10 points

I didn't notice it was you who wrote the first comment, jmazza...
Yet another confirmation that us Italia125 owners are a classy bunch indeed.

Helloooo ~ I got my PINK Buddy yesterday ~ the 125 cc and am novice. So I am going to go back and try to do the past pictures for the fun of it and you don't have to give me any points but I want to PLAY and have FUN!!!

I am not competitive and and tend to be the the last one across the finish line but I have a darn good time on my way there. So bear with me, I'll be taking pictures and just messing around and enjoying my new buddy. Thank you all for your wonderful advice ~ I did get the 125dcc and LOVE IT! I have more chrome ordered too!

I have driven 85 miles so far the past two days ~ what about some pictures for a competition with some Harley Dudes? I know ~ but I keep getting thumbs up and really nice nods as I am driving past and while kind of scary to ask them if I could have my picture taken with them, it might give me an opportunity to get into this competition.

Muuuuuuuuah ~ Love, Pond ~ Muuuuuuuuuah ~

PS ~ I took some pics of me on my bike but they say they are too big to download on here ~ HELP ~ ~

+ 6pts if it is a PINK truck/suv
+ 2pts if you are in the photo = 14 pts

i agree. i know i wont find one, but i would sure enjoy it if someone did.

I've kept my eyes peeled! We'll see -- I may end up fudging the rules on this one (Not like I didn't do it before, sheesh@myself). I *DID* see a custom painted bright pink sedan this weekend. Close, but no cigar.

MikieTaps · Post by **MikieTaps** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 3:22 pm

I have no idea why they have these things... they have 3 of them. They dont even have enough cops to fill the police cars. Seattle has one of the lowest cops per capita in the country. I forget the exact number, but I remember it being like 1/5 of what other major cities have... like 1 for every 500, when chicago has 1 for every 100 or something around there.

My scooter has a lot of custom black on it. Does that count for matching the truck?

Sorry cruzzer... but the first "rule" (this week) is YOUR scooter.... did you buy the Rattler?
"Your scooter with a Truck or SUV = 1pt"
no points... but thanks for playing & please leave the pic up so I can use it in the video.

cruzzer · Post by **cruzzer** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 8:44 pm

well its my truck

OScoot! · Post by **OScoot!** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 10:29 pm

Ok...here goes.....I'm gonna push the envelope here .. So whichever one of these I can get the most points on after ya'll tear me apart will be my "official" entry. But hey....I was on a roll today, so I'm gonna post them all......It was so much fun! And all the people I asked to take the photos were laughing their A$$ off! Including the cop who took the police photo.

First.....
Hummer: 12 points
Your scooter with a Truck or SUV = 1pt
+ 4pts if it is a Hummer
+ 2pts if you are in the photo
+ 5pts if the truck/SUV is the same color as your scooter (It’s the same color as my scooter seat! The rules didn’t say which part of the scooter it had to match! ….Hey, gimme a break, where am I gonna find a pink Hummer?)
Ok…so if you don’t buy that, then 7 points total!

OScoot! · Post by **OScoot!** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 10:44 pm

Darn... it kept cutting off the end of my post....so here's the last photo....

And the best one!

Semi: 19 points!!!! (or 13 points, depending on your definition of “pink” )
Your scooter with a Truck or SUV = 1pt
+ 2pts if photo is taken at a gas station
+ 3pts if it is a Semi
+ 5pts if the truck/SUV is the same color as your scooter (This is NOT a red truck as you can see from the one next to it. It’s a DEEP DARK PINK, “in the pink family” )
+ 2pts if you are in the photo
+6pts if it is a PINK truck/suv (Hey, ya gotta give me credit for trying.)

Orange Guy · Post by **Orange Guy** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 10:45 pm

I was planning on exploiting the "same color" loophole as well. Heck, my Buddy's got as much black on it as red.

Christy · Post by **Christy** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 10:49 pm

one question: when you tell people about your scooter, do you say it is black? i'd say probably not, so I don't think you can count color on the hummer one.

the semi is questionable, as it looks red to me, but either way it's still the most points for the options you posted.

no, its fine. you still get 9 pts because you didnt credit yourself for having the picture of your scooter and a truck/suv.

I am not buying that as pink.... or the same color as your scooter.... any one else? - I think that is an 8 point pic

ok... that is not the same color as your scooter... finding a pink hummer is hard... that's why it gets the extra points!

Thanks for all the great pics though - I will use them all in the video

2 days left to get in your pics & claim your points!

Aw shucks! Well, I had to give it a try.

....OK, then, so the most points is with my police pic....9 points .... legit. As for now, that one is my official entry! (Unless I find that Pink semi at the truck stop on my way to work this morning!)

Hey, good idea! Don't forget to get a photo of the cop writing you a ticket. That's worth an extra 10pts!

There were some motorcycle cops working a speed trap at the exit of my neighborhood this morning and I considered seeing if they'd pretend to write me a ticket.

But that would be lying to my MB.com friends. And I'd never do that!!

If you can get a cop to pose for a pic, while writing you a pretend ticket, that is worth 10pts
