most likely. Saturday if we do.
I've got a tag on our bus so I'm giving this challenge 48hrs before I steal the win.
ANY beer/liquor sign. Someone snap one when fueling up!

It goes like this-
A challenge is put forth from the person who has previously won the last challenge. First one to get a pic posted wins the challenge.
Since I started it and have played before on the Honda Ruckus forum, I'll be the "judge" for now.
I'll just use the Ruckus rules and substitute buses for scooters.

Its simple really, someone posts a challenge, someone else completes it then posts a challenge of their own.

RULES


• Take a pic of your bus to satisfy the current specific challenge.
* If it says a pic in front of a sign with "No Motorized Vehicles" one that just says "No Vehicles" will NOT work.
* If it says a pic in a drive thru, a McDonald's will work as well as a bank because the poster didn't specify it.

• Post a SPECIFIC next challenge. Make it something accomplishable NOT something ridiculous. That will slow down the game for everyone. The idea is to go for a ride, take a picture, post it and move on not stage a performance art piece or taunt your local police.

with in your post for entry....please state what the current challenge is that you are submitting for

• Remember this is a worldwide game. Make your challenge something the majority of members, regardless of location, can accomplish so we get international participation as well. It's cool that a guy from Scotland can go get a challenge from a guy in Phoenix, AZ and we should promote that type of play.

• There will be disagreements about whether challenges have been met or were specific enough. The original poster has the first right to determine whether his/her challenge has been met. If we cannot come to a logical conclusion by that method the originator of the game (EastCoastCB) is final referee. In the unlikely event we cannot get a timely judgement by referee, a vote by three players can be made to wait for "judgement" by referee or "play on".

• In the event a challenge has stalled the game, 36 hours will be the limit of it's duration. After that time limit the person who suggested it can either do it themselves or suggest a new next challenge. If they don't reply in 12 hours then the previous winner gets to pick the new next challenge.

• Archived/Old photos CANNOT be used. After the challenge has been posted you have to go out and get a NEW photo to satisfy it. This is CRUCIAL for the integrity of the game!

It's pretty simple. Anyone participating in this thread automatically agrees to these rules and must abide by them regardless of their personal opinion. Anyone who cannot abide by them may feel free to withdraw from the game.



Who's ready???
Would love to get this going FOR REAL!

ive continued to drive, work opn, and enjoy my busses through this Covid crisis.. the DEV bus has been in use quite a bit lately, as a mobile Office, Cill out rig, and monile dining-room so I can eat take-out food hot N fresh ..



the restaraunt people Love it when they see it.. ive found the bus pictured on more than one social media post of local restaraunts and coffee houses..



while mobile working and mobile dining are the norm for most here, the genberal public finds it fascinating..



ive also taken some time to drive the Superior around a bit.. I love that old bus!..


The RedByrd is taking a bit of a forced-break as I sprung a Massive oil leak.. it dropped 6 quarts of oil in 5 miles.. that should be finished today..

Sorry to hear your RedByrd sprang a leak, but happy you are on it (the repair).


That pizza sure looks good. It has been over a month since we went out. I think it might be time to make another home made pizza!

I’m trying to muster up the energy to make the bus moveable simply to go to fill up with diesel while prices are so low. I’m mobile working 12-15 hours a day and by the time the weekend rolls around I have no desire to move! But if I do I’ll take a “bus at the petrol ⛽️ “ pic [emoji16]
