Ok, I've an idea. How about a game to guess where the person or their bike's picture was taken. Just a couple of rules. It must be you and or your bike. You must give us a hint of some kind. Keep it simple and no you can't Google it. I'll start it. USA, several of our members have been here. Where am I? [image]  [/image] Mike

Judging by the fact you say you are in Tenn, and the elevation posted.. I'd say somewhere in the Smokey Mtn. Range.. have no idea where though.. I have relatives all over Tennessee and have never heard of Santeetlah, so it's probably a trick question.. and you won't let me google  Cheers, Brad

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Oh, and I forgot to add...I'll also guess you were very near Santeetlah this past Thursday too! (...that was the 21st of this month, BTW)

I'm thinking Santeetlah isn't the name of a town, but maybe a mountain? You look to be at some sort of scenic overlook or something like that. Since you're from Tennessee by the grace of god, I'm going to guess Blue ridge pkwy?

This thread could get real BIGGGGG. But I have one... if you've been to Nelson for the Annual RAT Raid you may have been here.  But no... it's too obscure. This is the falls at Stewart Creek, just 30 km or so from Nelson. I'll take you there when you come up for the Nelson RAT Raid.

Mike, is it at the North Carolina side of Cherohala Skyway? That was my initial thought last night but I did not have time to post. I am very glad that you had the idea for this game, it could be fun!!

Hello Di, you are correct. I knew one of my southern friends would recognize this spot. Anyone who has attended the last couple of Georgia rallies has been to this location. Skyway

I wanna play too, but i can never seem to get myself into the pictures i take, and i usually tour alone.   There are subtle hints in this pic.

This one should be pretty easy, the answer is off in the distance

Yep, your second guess is right. About 40 mile south of Astoria overlooking the beach at Manzanita.

Okay, here's mine from today. Crappy photo from my crappy old cell phone (man oh man I miss my LG Voyager).  largerJust a short little shakedown cruise around the Helena Valley and this place, which isn't in the Helena Valley (but that may be the Helena Valley off in the distance). Still fiddling with the Scottoiler adjustments and I had to replace the squirrel condoms in the middle of my ride, but otherwise the bike is running great.

OK here's one for you all... and here's your hint: It's not Nashville. Oh and I'm pretty sure that "no parking" didn't apply to Triumphs.
