Suspended for those in the snow belt. I like to encourage others to ride. Don't go crashing though!

Grab-
Biggest one I could find, used to clear parking lots.
Spent a couple hours on the FJR today around the lake...it's still kinda chilly.
Next Tag-
Your bike and a winery, micro-brewery or distillery.

Winery, micro-brewery, or distillery?

I Bruce'd you by 13 minutes and your snow mover is cooler too. Sorry man.
Just goes to show how far coolness goes.
That was a pretty fine brucing, Phil.
Where was the mountain shot Jim?

Grab...
The next Tag: Your bike and “Big Things”
Things which are “Giant Size.” For instance, when you think of cowboy boots, think “Giant Cowboy Boots,” like these. Must be objects as opposed to photos of objects. Have fun. I passed three giant objects to get these.
Keep Going! Excuse me while I take my helmet off.....

re: Prior tag
I don't really know where that is without lookin' it up, though it sounds very familiar. Still very cool.
New tag: Big things... This could be trouble if some deviants get involved here.

Wow,that was fast! I love this game!
We all need to keep in mind that this is the "North American" game. Time zones are therefore a factor.
I figure my best opportunities may be between 6 and 9 AM eastern time while you left coast bastiges are still asleep!

If it just a big bottle, it's just a bottle.
More examples can be found here

Old tag, a Giant Porch Rocker.
If you look closely you can see my helmet on the seat for scale.
And the new tag to find is...
A radar dome!
The security guards came by and rousted me away, but I still managed to get the photo!!
While you are finding a dome, here's some more interesting trivia about this airbase. This is the New Boston Air Force Station. I think that it is currently only active for the radar tracking electronics.
That hill you see in the backdrop is called "Joe English Hill." It's a uniquely shaped hill with a steep cliff on one side, and it is named after a famous Native American Indian who was sympathetic with the English settlers back in the late 1600's. Because of that many of the other Indians wanted to off him. Here's the historical account of of the hill:
Here's a picture that I took last summer from the west (left side of of tag photo) of the hill and airbase
Back in WW2 and Korean War times the Airforce used Joe English Hill as a target for practice bombing runs. There is a pond at the base of the cliff that is said to still be loaded with unexploded ordinance, and so the hill and pond both remain off-limits even though it is no longer being used by the military.

Researching Radar Domes.
Here's one from 2011.
The U.S. Missile Defense Agency’s giant X-band Radar made a slow and dramatic approach to Seattle’s Vigor Shipyards on Tuesday. The giant white sphere crossed Puget Sound, drawing the attention of curious onlookers onshore.
Passengers aboard the Edmonds-Kingston ferry run had an excellent view of the 280-foot-tall craft as it crossed the ferry’s route.
The SBX is 240 feet wide and 390 feet long. It towers more than 280 feet from its keel to the top of the radar dome and displaces nearly 50,000 tons. The main deck is larger than a football field.
It will be in Seattle’s Vigor Shipyard, formerly Todd Shipyard, as part of an upgrade and maintenance project. Read more about the SBX and its visit to Elliott Bay.

Grab Here’s a pic of the Radome on a British Airways Concorde SST.
The second is the Radome on an A6-E Intruder.
Next tag will be your bike and something designed and built for speed only. Something that’s sole purpose, is to go very fast.

sole purpose? Hmmm... I've got some fast things around here, but that isn't their sole purpose.
file photo example (not a tag)
I have a good idea... but I don't know if I can catch one out to be photographed.
