Tee! Hee! Your industrial setting looks a lot like a Scrap Yard Pile. That WE have around Cincy!

PHX too. (But I wouldn't expect to ever see a BUDDY there!)

Does this work? Or is it not industrial enough?
What does "setting in which you would not normally find a motor scooter" mean, exactly?

BoneGirl · Post by **BoneGirl** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 1:48 am

I thought we needed to find a setting with industrial equipment, scrap, tools, etc. Here's some different pipes, propane tank and half a football full of stuff that shouldn't have a scooter anywhere near it! Too many pieces of scrap laying around waiting to bite your tires!

I concede

So what's next

I was going to steal Union's idea and ride down to downtown Nashville, near LP Field w/ all that scrap metal piles...

Hey! No problem. Go ahead and see what else you can find. I can be a runner-up on this!

I don't think my Buddy belongs here.

If that works here is the next tag....

Your downtown. This photo is a 180 view. My Buddy is in the lower right of the photo.

well I'll go along with it, but no one gets any points for staying on the pavement.

It was the "DO NOT ENTER" signs which prompted me to get in and out quickly. Also the 12 inch drop from the cement to the gravel isn't really the Buddy's strength. It's really more of a construction site than an industrial site also, that's why I asked "if this works".

UnionZac · Post by **UnionZac** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 8:38 pm

I'm just saying, I would be really impressed if you you got a plank, drove your buddy back there, jumped it off those 12 measly inches, took a picture behind the "DO NOT ENTER" sign, placed your plank, and drove out.

Also, that panoramic picture is rad.

etak · Post by **etak** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 11:54 pm

Hmmm, I'm confused. I would think an industrial setting would have to do with manufacturing. But UnionDog's pic was a scrap heap. Mine is industrial supplies. (So not really manufacturing.) I'm not sure what Bonegirl's is, but it seems the most industrial. And gr8dog's is a construction site.
So has anyone gotten the tag yet?
UnionZac, maybe you should decide, since it was your tag.

OK, OK, your gonna' get me into trouble yet. Here you go. I still don't know if I hit the tag but it was fun getting these.

I took my daughter with me to get the photos. We had fun tromping around on the new bridge. The deck is finished but no sidewalk or railings yet.

BoneGirl · Post by **BoneGirl** » Thu Jul 30, 2009 2:14 am

Still looks construction and not industry to me...sorry

gr8dog · Post by **gr8dog** » Thu Jul 30, 2009 5:21 am

I looked up the definition of "industry" from several different online sources and the dictionary on my computer. It's pretty clear that "industry" typically refers to the manufacture of goods. See below for Mirriam-Webster's Online Dictionary definition. It would seem that construction as an entity is considered an industry (see 2C below) but apparently not an individual construction site. OK, it looks like I didn't get the tag.... yet.

So all I need is to get my scooter with Shakespeare...may be an industrious feat but I'm game...

How is this?

BoneGirl · Post by **BoneGirl** » Thu Jul 30, 2009 2:33 pm

That is hilarious! Happened to have a second at work to check in. You are way too funny! Thanks!

UnionZac · Post by **UnionZac** » Thu Jul 30, 2009 8:47 pm

ok, gr8dog gets all the points for going above and beyond. So the new theme is your scooter in "downtown _________" right?

BoneGirl · Post by **BoneGirl** » Fri Jul 31, 2009 12:43 am

Here is the best I can come up with for a Downtown in the city of Mt. Healthy, Ohio (outside of Cincinnati). This shows the main drag with signs pointing the way to City Hall and other points of interest (we're one square mile).

BoneGirl · Post by **BoneGirl** » Fri Jul 31, 2009 12:47 am

How about a picture of your scooter at a Port-O-Let? yes, I am a sick girl!

basmith42 · Post by **basmith42** » Sun Aug 02, 2009 5:24 pm

2 scoots in front of a port-o-let.

basmith42 · Post by **basmith42** » Sun Aug 02, 2009 5:26 pm

scooter in front of a kid's lemonade stand.
Fun note here- this was our first street ride AND this little 3 year old's first lemonade stand AND we were her first customers.

etak · Post by **etak** » Sun Aug 02, 2009 7:18 pm

That's great!
Beautiful scooters and beautiful grins on your faces!

gr8dog · Post by **gr8dog** » Sun Aug 02, 2009 8:19 pm

Nicely done basmith42. I had the porto-potty and the next tag. Now I gotta look for a lemonade standd.

BoneGirl · Post by **BoneGirl** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:17 pm

These poor kids had their stand all set up and Dad didn't have any of the drinks ready yet so we settled for Pixie Sticks! I asked how much they were and the kid said "$1". Dad about died and told me they weren't and I gave the kid $1 anyway and took 2 of each flavor (for a total of

. Good deal either way: kid gets a dollar and I get my Tag.

BoneGirl · Post by **BoneGirl** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:27 pm

And the new Tag is your scooter with a Restaurant's Mascot.

In Cincinnati and the tristate area we have Frisch's Big Boy Restaurants and the Big Boy is frequently seen out in front of the restaurants. Do you have a chain of restaurants in your area that boasts a mascot out front? Let's see what we can find.

UnionZac · Post by **UnionZac** » Sun Aug 09, 2009 10:15 pm

glad you found the lemonade stand, I didn't really want to get chased off by some angry parent for snapping pictures of their kids to post on the internet.

I grew up in CT, and we have Big Boys restaurants, but they were called "Abdow's Big Boy". Abdow?

To the right of the stand the parents were having a yard sale. We pulled up and went to the stand and Dad ran for the drinks while we explained to Mom why we were there. It never even occurred to me that taking a picture of the kids and their Kool-Aid stand was a bad thing (and still doesn't).

just a joke.

Man that is classic! What I would give to see a gorilla riding a scooter down the road!

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Wed Aug 12, 2009 10:54 pm

For something that we all (most of us, anyway) can so vividly remember, this tag is turning out to be quite the challenge. Well done, BoneGirl.

gr8dog, is that the Phoenix Suns gorilla, or is Grannie that ugly?

What do you get when you cross a monkey and a motorbike?

That is hilarious! Nice try but Lagerhead told me last night he did a Google search of your area and found a suitable Tag for you to use that represents another restaurant in your area. I'll let him post it himself!

OK, this is nowhere near as iconic as Bob, but unless your only TV is rural local stations, you should know what this is:

If you aren't sure (I had to stand in Eastbound Camelback Rd, so I couldn't spend too much time composing or lighting) here's a link to a non-cropped version which makes it obvious.http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee17 ... -chili.jpg

We all need power, so let's see your scooter in front of a Power Plant/Distribution Plant/Substation

bonus points for a ghost in the picture

Please forgive me

I can get one tomorrow if it's not pouring rain, I don't think ours are lit up like that at night.

Is this the same as a "substation"?

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Tue Aug 18, 2009 7:29 pm

Looks like one to me. (Not as nice as APS', but hey if that's the best you can find in FL.)

Ok then, the new tag is a TREE TUNNEL! It can be a canopy of trees over a street like this or in a park, as long as your scooter is in the photo.

Bonus points if the stop sign has a flag that matches your scooter's flag! (just kidding, no points, just thought it was funny)

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Wed Aug 19, 2009 5:50 am

What, no trees? I thought trees over a road/walkway were pretty common, I hope it's not too hard!
