Here's the rules from the first post in this thread.....

"Some very basic rules:-
- The word must be motorcycle related and of no more than 6 letters
- One town to one letter, no double up of towns for double letters in a word
- Suburbs count as Towns.
- One wild card per word, (A humorous, But CLEAN picture of any Town/Suburb has to be posted)
- Referees Pocket Stocker/ST2UP, All Challengers and Disputes will be resolved by them"

Town names can be used more than once, but you can't use two signs for the one town in one challenge.      ++

I misunderstood also, and have assiduously marked the names I have as being "used".
Otherwise we just sit here and chuck the same old photos up without going for a ride to get new ones.  So why did you get three "V"s, Pete, when there's unlikely to be a six letter bike part with three Vs in it?
I suspect that's what Williamson thought also, as he was mumbling about needing to go for a ride to collect vowels (as we all do, since they are far less common than consonants, especially "S" and "B" around here.

I find it hard to go past a good photo opportunity that pays tribute to the many wonderful places that I've visited.    For instance, Varley has a rabbit cemetry.    Who'd have guessed. :grin

Yep, an ST13, a camera, lots of towns, 'where is' features - although as of 6:50am the weather looks a bit ordinary.
