North America "WILD CARD" TAG

[gunsmoker]

OLD TAG COMPLETED: My bike at the intersection of two streets that were both named after birds.




Oriole and Sparrow.

 

[gunsmoker]

NEW TAG IS AN INFLATABLE CHRISTMAS DECORATION. (The kind that uses a continuously blowing electric fan to inflate the flimsy nylon or polyester figure or object.)

 

[W0QNX]

Proof that even an inflatable snowman won't last in Florida. New, your bike with an EV. Any brand, no hybrids full EV only.

 

[gunsmoker]

Well, I rode my Honda Shadow out today for the first time in about seven weeks,
and I looked for electric vehicles!

I even went to a shopping center that had a special station for charging EV's,
but there was nobody there.

 

[gunsmoker]

Took my Shadow 1100 out, instead of the ST 1300, today finally got that picture with an electric vehicle.

I had seen the Tesla truck parked at this pawnshop a couple days prior, but this morning when I came back on the bike I was pleased to find a Tesla car right next to it!

 

[gunsmoker]

New tag: A statue of an animal or other 3-D representation of an animal.

Pic of my Honda Shadow 1100 at a local barbecue restaurant which has a nearly full sized metal steer out front.

 

[W0QNX]

Old was an animal statue. New is "it's got a Hemi in it". I'm sorry the "Hemi" on the red hood didn't show up very good. And there are lots of Hemi's out there, cars and trucks.

 

[gunsmoker]

I hadn't ridden the Shadow 1100 in over a week so I took that old bike out and snagged this tag with a big DODGE RAM 1500 pickup truck from Nebraska, recently relocated to Georgia.
I talked to the truck's owner in the parking lot of a local shopping center.


He offered to snap a picture of me and my bike by his hemi-motor truck!


(The Shadow filled-in for the ST
for today's riding.)

 

[gunsmoker]

New tag:

And I'm making this an easy one so that people from states where it's still winter can play, with a fairly short ride...

Your bike at a pawn shop.



PS: I decided to buy a couple of metric wrenches to keep permanently in this bike's saddlebags, and I found two of them that I needed for a grand total of three bucks!

Pawn shop



Civil war monument

 

[W0QNX]

Old a Revolutionary War Memorial. New “where you buy fish” anywhere.

 

[gunsmoker]

Where you'd buy fish...
...at a seafood distributor, that supplies fish and other seafood restaurants and caterers.

Blue Ocean Seafood (in a business park).

 

[gunsmoker]

New tag:
A big stack or pile of pallets.

 

[W0QNX]

Old a stack of pallets. New "pig".

 

[MR Q.]

Old Pig .... New Implement Dealer

 

[NTausch]

Old. Implement Dealer. New. Something Nautical.

 

[MR Q.]

Old, Nautical


New, Creamery or Ice Cream shop.

 

[gunsmoker]

Old: An ice cream shop (this one in Big Canoe, Georgia).






New: a steam engine or steam powered locomotive. (note: many steam engines look like an old train engine, but they weren't all used for railroad purposes. Some were just used to power belts and pulleys for a mill, factory, or some farm operation.


This one's a real locomotive of course -- was built in 1905 and retired in the 1950s.
