Martin, as I am a traitor can I get a credit if I have a picture of a Strom  in the image? Or if my bike has a forum sticker in shot would this be satisfactory?

You take a picture of your V-Strom next to the sign, the sign must be clearly visible.

Therefore .... No :)

I even put V-strom logos in an attempt to disguise the Varadero but allas  :shrug:

All I managed to do was de-Value a Honda  lol  :grin:

Not on the front page but is this suitably dodgy? I stopped here whilst lost on the way to Silverstone

A couple of pictures from Oxfordshire on a nice ride out today. I cannot remember which one was before and which was after and what I was doing at the time.

Answers on a postcard please.

All these on the list in Northumberland. Put the screenshot in for the last one as photo didn't show the full name, couldn't find one for it anywhere and nothing on satnav. Screenshot shows building and 'village' name.

Good Work Mick, all added to the first page.

Per the rules, if someone gets a proper sign for Great Tosson, then you get demoted :)

Mick has been retired for years.

I'm not saying he's 1812 Overture, more like 1812 On Tour.

'tis true I have finished getting paid to work & surviving on a pension, not that any of these 'friends' on here realise what it's like to be a poor pensioner.  :whistle:
