Thought that would raise a debate, there are not many separate toilet buildings left round here cause they have been built into another ones for over a decade so they can be better guarded from vandalism, at some places it has even escalated into a race of the manufacturers trying to build indestructible wc:s, and some of the yougsters pushing hard trying to destroy them... I've never understood the destruction of public facilities for fun, I mean don't they realise they're pissing down their own legs... Aggravates the hell out of me to pay taxes as an entrepreneur to pay for the damages because even if they get caught they get away for free because minors under 15 cannot be penalized... Think the only city that still has those "****-booths" is Helsinki (capital) Sorry for the rant, needed to vent... Have fun getting the challenges and don't dip into the drink from a pier!

read the posts again, did I understand U was wanting a pic with the toilet seat itself? Hmm, I've seen some lone ones in garbage collecting spots every once in a while, I'll see what I can do (the challenge, I believe, was already accepted, but if not for other reason, just because...)

Mattson,

How we adjust the pier challenge - your bike *next to/in front of/beside* the pier?
It would make the challenge much more doable.

Agreed, also dropping the above water thing, didn`t even think it would be forbidden to actually drive onto the pier cause I know of at least four places I could do this.

I think you did just fine. All you would have done was to prop open any one of those 6 doors to get a view of the 'pot' in the background of the bike.

I also can get near a pier but vehicles are not allowed on it.

As i wrote before, it was pretty windy so it would have banged back and forth, the one in the marina was the only one that stayed open, but the angle was a bit off to see in.

Already hatching a little plan for tomorrow, we`ll see what I can srape up
