It *counts* w/ me. The challenge was w/a "real street fighter". The Triumph Speed Triple is a real street fighter. ;-) I almost got a pic of the same model beside mine on a ride today. :-)

I vote YES just for the continuity of the challenges, no point in arguing about petty details since the challenge IS nearing the three day limit and no one has even announced he/she might be able to do this. I know one guy that has a real stunt bike with cages and all, but I never see it other than if I take stuff to the factory he works in, never in the traffic... Plus it's so butt ugly I'd rather not take a pic beside it. PLUS I know where to get that detour pic from...

I vote Yes as well and plan on taking a ride after work today... I know I have seen a detour sign recently...

On a side note, I didn't even get a chance to ride this weekend, it has been so amazingly hot and humid in the Boston area, the thought of getting geared up was unbearable! So I am looking forward to an hour or so of some bike time tonight!

Good luck!

Yet again I throw a little controversy into the mix...



What the top says:

Detour for heavy vehicles
Change in the weight restriction of bridge.

This is kind of a heads up, they`re cutting off the whole road cause they are totally rebuilding one of the bridges some of you might have seen in my Pulkkila Ridge -video, and because of that I have to start going to and from work via Heinola till they are done with it... We also have a sign like this:

But it`s only used in like when you have to go round an underpass construction or other things like that when there`s no way you could stop for a pic... So, let me know if this`ll pass and I`ll throw a new one!


I also had some spare time after work cause my wife was getting some downtime before a nightshift so I couldn`t go home before six and decided to just cruise around, so...

YB ON THE PIER REVISITED:


#1 from the local marina


#2 from the old ferry port of Suopelto a few miles from the town center.
