It is nice to see this moving again. Hopefully we can get some of the newer members involved, and some old ones too.
Thanks to you all that have been playing, especially the boys down under while most of our bikes are put away for the winter.
Let's spread the word and keep it going.
Now, somebody go to the pub.... (TK, just pick up your head off the bar and go outside and take a picture!)
Next Challenge: YB at a bar/pub with a sign that says they have live music

Ahhhh! Good old Mount Pleasant, the centre of my Universe which has *everything* including a Motorcycle Shop and Live Music at both the Pubs. Mrs SB's Kawasaki ZR250 Balius by a sign for the Totness Inn spruiking live music this Saturday.
Next Challenge: YB next to a lychgate
A lychgate is a covered entrance along a fence - typically into a church or similar. I'll post a photo example shortly.
Here you go:

Lychgates consist of a roofed porch-like structure over a gate, often built of wood. They usually consist of four or six upright wooden posts in a rectangular shape. On top of this are a number of beams to hold a pitched roof covered in thatch or wooden or clay tiles. They can have decorative carvings and in later times were erected as memorials. They sometimes have recessed seats on either side of the gate itself.
The gateway was really part of the church. It was where the clergy met the corpse and the bier rested while part of the service was read before burial. It also served to shelter the pall-bearers while the bier was brought from the church. In some lych gates there stood large flat stones called lich-stones upon which the corpse, usually uncoffined, was laid. The most common form of lych gate is a simple shed composed of a roof with two gabled ends, covered with tiles or thatch. At Berrynarbor, Devon, there is a lychgate in the form of a cross, while at Troutbeck, Westmorland, there are three lychgates to one churchyard. Some elaborate gates have chambers over them.
Have to say Seb that may be a particularly challenging challenge. I'm almost sure there's none of them in NZ (but we haven't been around long enough for the Olde English Sh1te). Good call mate, I look forward to seeing someone get this.

Hey TK,
Look in any of the older parts of a city and you'll find lychgates - or Churches, cemetaries etc, etc.
We have a couple within 10 km of here.
You have one at St Peter's Church in Q'Town Get the fuel tap in and go for a run across the Crown Range!
No-one gets it in a couple of days, I'll post another challenge.
Cheers, SB

I tried to find one in these parts. found 1 in FL, only 250 miles away
.Holy Trinity Episcopal Church
Fruitland Park, FL, USA
In 1889, a Lych-Gate was added to provide a resting place for the bier and pall-bearers before the clergyman accompanied the funeral procession to the burial site. Similar to those found in Anglican and European churchyards, it is one of only two in Florida.
