• Start with a City beginning with A
    • This is BY STATE
    • Similar to the Tag contest, there will be one thread per state
    • Post a picture of your bike AND some sign, building etc which clearly shows the city/state you're in
    • The next person posts from a city with the name beginning with B, then C, D, etc
    • You can't posts back-to-back pics, you have to wait for a person to post the next city
    • Once Z is reached, the game starts over with A
    • If your state doesn't have a city beginning with the next letter in sequence, it's okay to skip that letter
    • If the location sits for more than one month, the person that posted that is open to move it to the next letter.

    The World Wide game is a bit different as it is by whatever is considered a geographic type of regional category, state/province/village etc. and all those will be in the single World Wide A-Z topic.

Re: TX: A to Z (Round 10)

Had to ride 2 blocks to get these shots of one of Aliefs water storage tanks. The photo without my ST in it is a bit of a closeup to verify that it really is in Alief. It had to have taken them at least four months to repaint it, just recently finished. It was a bit of a curiosity when it was covered by a curtain hanging down nearly to the ground, I assume to prevent any overspmray from drifting into the neighborhood.

Update: I showed these photos to a friend of mine this afternoon and he told me that water storage tank had goldfish painted on it many years ago, looked just like a giant fish bowl. I think that must have been before I lived in the neighborhood since I don't remember it. My memory has been diminishing lately, but I'm sure that I would remember that.

Re: TX: A to Z (Round 10)

Well I was going to grab a J today and keep this fine game a' going. Made it to the gas station 10 miles from my home, filled up then went over to the air pump to top off the tires. The front was just a couple of pounds lows, filled nicely. The rear surprised me, when I went to unscrew the cap I got a little more than I bargained for. See the pics. Also see the pics for my temporary solution. It enabled me to get about 25 psi into the tire and hobble home.
I bought the angled metal air valves from here a few months ago and planned to install them on my next tire change, guess I'll be doing that sooner than expected...lol

Re: TX: A to Z (Round 10)

Picked up some headlights last night, guess I'll be doing that on my next days off. Then I'm going riding! Hopefully! Maybe? Depends on how the bike feels I suppose.

Got the headlight bulbs installed yesterday thanks to this here forum. Read a post about turning the handlebars and installing them from behind instead of removing the windshield and other plastic as the manual states. Took about 20 minutes but got it all done. The bike decided it was ready for a run today so I went for the J as in Jonesboro...

Re: TX: A to Z (Round 10)

Z is for Zepher. Seems like I've been here getting the Z a couple of times. Good excuse to go out for a long ride.

Now let's get Texas back on track.

No help from me for the next 2 months as I'm heading to California.
