Yep. And the bike looks like the rear half is parked up on the sidewalk, the water along the curb would be ice in the current frigid Chicago weather and the shadows of the bike do not match the shadow angle of the fire hydrant.

 

Unless Colombo can verify the shot is authentic and recent, the non Starbucks coffee place challenge remains.

 

The pic was taken with my cellphone and then applied a filter to brighten the picture up a bit, no photoshopping done or bike added to the setting...


Whaaaat? lol are you talking about the reflection from the puddles?

Hellllll no, I dont even ride my bicycle if it's under 60 degrees, let alone a motorcycle in this weather!

Yes we were all wearing tshirts as this pic was taken on June 24th.. Whoops, I guess I should have read the rules. I guess I am disqualified (and anyone who lives where it's extremely cold) from this fun challenge until late April or May when I start riding again... unless the next challenge involves a motorcycle being parked in between two Nissan Maximas in a garage with snow outside of the garage

 

Unfortunately, it's a problem every year for cold weather folk. Usually the southern hemisphere members carry the game through our winter. Keep an eye on the challenges in the meantime. There are challenges that can be done in the garage or driveway, eve though we strive for ones that require getting out and riding.

 

Wheres the reflection in the water?

 

Yea. Not sure why I saw it that way. It looked like the reflections where another "floor". Probably cause of the reflected angle, they don't match the store fronts.

 

Good question.

 

Went to knock these out today. Turn out this is a tad past the expiration date. But we're back in business so we'll see what tomorrow brings.

 

^^^That doesn't look much like a coffee shop.

 

No but after pushing my bike home with a shorted battery, I sure coulda used one.
