From the rules at the top of the thread, it's a maximum of six letters, and the nearest town I can find starting with X is in China and I'm not riding there for you.   :-(((

Rules, rules, rules ..........

Oh well, if we gotta have rules and X's (that's what wildcards are for) we can have a compromise.  So how about:
 EXHAUST

We'll await the adjudicators decision.

I hope this is not a case of premature adjudication - posting a response before the adjudicators had approved the word.

:rofl

EXHAUST - not bike part, bike related.

Nonetheless, well played Pete.

I've taken the eyes-off-the-ball here Pete, haven't been on the bike for a while and forgot the camera and 'phone last few times.  Give it a day, or four - I might get out on Boxing Day.  I'm short a "Z" also, I don't think I'll get to Zeehan, Zeerust or Zumpsteins and back in a day, so I might have to use a wildcard.

Yes, thought that the "Z" and two "O's" would make it a challenge.    I'm off to Tassie after Christmas and might be able to get a "Z" to keep in the archive.   :wink1

I the meantime, some other players might rise to the bait.   :popcorn

OK, I'll play my own word and post a new and easier one to try to get some players out of the woodwork.

Oakbank
Zeehan
Stanley
Tailem Bend

If this meets with approval, my next word is PEGS

Protest!

... Zeehan .....


The Zeehan pic does not meet this criteria:
...... it has to be the Town or Suburb sign, with your motorcycle in front of it.....

Williamson, please allow me to plead my case to the adjudicators, having sought legal advice.

1.  "Town or Suburb" sign has not been defined in the rules.
2.  I respectfully suggest that it is most certainly a town sign, indicating that it is the Fire and Emergency Services facility in the town of Zeehan and not, for example,  in Hobart or any other town for that matter.  The sign clearly indicates the town in which the station is situated and is therefore in my submission, a town sign.
3.  It is clear from my photo that I visited the town of Zeehan, and ahve produced evidence of that visit, in keeping with the spirit of the game.
4.  I also refer you to my earlier post for "SCREEN" and the use of Eden Hills Fire Station sign for the letter "E", which passed adjudication by ST2UP.  Hence there is a clear precedent for using a town sign which is on a fire station.

I await a judgement from the game moderators on your appeal and my submissions in reply.
