Well done Williamson. I wait with considerable apprehension for your next challenge, and feel that we are close to calling this game a draw.

Welcome back Pete.

What's this? Use your imagination Pete, there are plenty of words to go. At least I've found a whole new list of car & motorcycle parts. A quick review found a couple with 20 letters, but I'll start with a 13 letter word.

Seitenairbags - did I mention these are German words, this is German for side air bags.

If you call me nasty names, I'll take it as a compliment.

If you can convince me that motorcycles have side air bags, I'll give it a go, otherwise, I think you need to nominate another word.

Full body airbag?

StinkyPete · « **Reply #206 on:** July 01, 2017, 12:32:36 PM »

I'm still waiting to be convinced by Williamson that any motorcycles have "side air bags". I know that some versions of the Wing had a front air bag.

Dropped the ball, been busy, playing other silly games ......

The word is öldruckmesser (the on-line English to German dictionary tells me this is an oil pressure gauge). I think we can substitute an o for the ö.

If someone has done öldruckmesser by the end of this financial year i will buy them a PINT at the Mackay National Rally.

Bodo is on the road now so maybe he'll be in for a chance

A fourteen letter motorcycle word might be a challenge, and I'm determined that it should be English (or I could just make one up that is in Old Valarian or Klingon) Will two words be acceptable to those who are playing the game? If so, we still might get to 26 letters.

Cerebral Knievel · « **Reply #214 on:** November 02, 2017, 07:13:15 AM »

2 words,26 letters = 2 Pints at Mackay.

If that's not motivation for Mr Glimt i don't know what is.
Needless to say(but i'm saying it anyway) the same town can't be used more than once.

Yes. But a hyphenated word would be better, more appropriate than two.

Bodø Glimt · « **Reply #216 on:** January 16, 2018, 09:43:36 AM »

So do we have a current word?

This game has stalled a bit. Since Williamson and I were the only players, we decided to add one letter to the challenge each time. I reluctantly met Wilimason's last challenge of thirteen letters with a German word for "oil pressure guage", not convinced that a foreign language word is appropriate. We had a chat at Halls Gap and decided that two English words should be OK, so it's my challenge to nominate a two word motorcycle term of fourteen letters. If other players are keen to be involved, I'm happy to revert to the original rules of a six letter motorcycle term, and step back from using my extensive library of Town Letter Photos to give others a go at completing the challenges. I've been a bit slack and not given any attention to this game lately.

Me too! Using more than six letters was using up my library too quick.

StinkyPete · « **Reply #219 on:** January 16, 2018, 11:13:43 AM »

He we go then. Williamson and I will take a break from blitzing this game to give others a go, so the next six word challenge is....

CHAINS
