Man, this proved to be more challenging than I expected. I figured once I gonna do it, might aswell do it properly. It has been raining, hailing and whatnot the whole day so I feared all the snow would melt away. Phah, it just got an icey, super slippery crust on it. I finally got around to come home with my lorry and bring my other bike home too from our warehouse. Since it has been raining the whole day, it was a royal PITA to get that lumberjack`s candle to burn properly. Lucky I got a few dry logs left in the carage. So, enough BS:



Snowy enough? Took me a good while fiddeling with my camera`s options to get a reasonably decent photo with so poor lighting... Took the tripod and everything out but my camera just can`t get a noise-free frame under these conditions so i just played with it until the battery ran out. Man, that thing guzzles power....

Approved? If so, I call the next challenge: A PICTURE OF YOUR BIKE NEXT TO AN AIRCRAFT. (any will do, preferrably a gliderplane, however a paraglider or a hang-glider doesn`t count. A balloon will do fine. Also, a "statued" airplane can be approved if it has at some point flown)

Umm, yeah, No:25. Of over 250. This is gonna take another beer to figure out...

E: I Got one, although i`d recon it`d be a little too exclusive...

NEXT TO A DETOMASO. (was thinking of the Pantera, but any will do.)

...Or another one that came into mind, being a huge chili-fan and a grower, that the finder could not locate from the list: NEXT TO A LARGE GREENHOUSE. (u could spot my own vaguely showing in the background.)

Should be doable.

DUDE! There`s about, like five of those in Finland. I know of one, that the owner got from the states, that has been thrown around by a hurricane. He rebuilt it from the ground up. It`s still slightly crooked, and a few parts missing, but when he got it valued last summer the guy told him it`s at it`s current condition, worth over 80k. Fully complete over 100k. It`s the GT5-S.

Even most Ferraris don`t cost that much here, cause it`s super-rare...

If you`d get a frame with that, I`d most certaintly approve.
