It’s pretty cool everyone got them at the same time. I hope everyone enjoys them. They are fun to make but more important I like to make others happy, enjoy!

Does anyone have any cool stories of trials and tribulations while out getting points?
I chased a man in a yellow short bus (which I’m pretty sure he lived in) down a country road doing nearly 60 after he agreed to stop and take a pic and then apparently changed his mind. Didn’t even get the pic...

Does anyone have any cool stories of trials and tribulations while out getting points? Not sure if mine count, because I was on a different schedule but... 2) With another scoot : I stopped and heard someone yelling something while I took pics by another scoot in what seemed to be an unoccupied area. As I left, I realized there was a guy up on the 3rd or 4th floor yelling something. Prob odd seeing someone take pics of your rusty scoot. 34) Sunrise/sunset : I got up early and rode 25 miles one way to get a sunrise pic in a scenic area. Stood around for a while before I realized that it was so cloudy that there really was nothing to see. Got rained on on the way home. 42) Free Parking : A Harley popped the clutch and picked the wheel up a little on the road while I was off the scoot. Went to speed around a turn to head home minutes later and didn't see a car turning for all of the traffic stopped at a light. The rear brake locked going across a brick crosswalk as I tried to slow quickly. 73) Wooden outhouse : Had to get into a closed business that had it's driveways chained off. Dropoffs right beside the chains. That was fun on the 500lb TMAX. Multiple scenarios where I had to put the TMAX somewhere it doesn't belong. The big scoot is nice for the distances, but feels way more shady doing some things with it to me. 81) Rainbow sign : I was trying to get the pic quick because I was blocking a driveway and damn near dropped the scoot when I got off. 93) Locomotive : That one was just kinda cool. I can't recall the last time I've been right beside one walking like that. Such a beast of a machine. It was idling and I was waiting for someone to hit the horn and scare the crap outta me. 99) Truck w/loader : Someone came out just as I was leaving and looked all around like they were trying to figure out what I was up to stopped in an industrial park early on I think a Sunday morning taking pics of a loaded. Prob didn't help that I sped off like I was up to no good when they pulled in. lol Otherwise, just a whole lot of riding. Hmmm, better go ride thought the swamp and see if I see anything for a challenge while scraping the centerstand... even though I just checked there last week... and the week before that. Tried to play with sportbikes on the highway one day. All sorts of weird little adventures while covering distance and searching for ideas.

Yeah, there was a ton of pics that required entry to some weird and probably pretty suspicious seeming areas. I did a fair bit of sweet talking as well.
The "rollback with car" required me to convince a guy, who just had his car totaled, to let me ask the tow truck driver to pull over and then I had to convince the tow truck driver that the owner of the car said it was okay to pull over, then actually get the pic on a busy road.
The "large engine on a stand" required me to find a shop that wasn't too busy and happened to have a motor laying on the ground then had to ask the young (also extremely strong) young dude to actually lift and drag that motor about two feet with one had to the car hoist and then hoist it onto that stand.
The "ice cream vending machine" challenge required me convincing some kid employees to let me wheel the scoot into a public pool front desk area to snap the pic. My compromise was allowing one of the young dudes to be in the picture haha.
I also got caught in a wicked and very painful hail storm on my way to get the "yellow short bus" pic.

I did get some strange looks. When getting the train I had to pull my scooter onto the side walk. The road was very busy. All the commuters walking to the train station gave me funny looks.g Same with the 70's Saab. As I was taking a picture, a guy walked passed. The look of disgust on his face as I was taking a picture of this old rusty car.
