+TimeTraveler09 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hey Roddy, I just activated my Geocoin: TB1A5W3 "Todie's Wild Ride: Phoenix Rising" Thanks for helping a newbie out, and I hope your mission to raise awareness of ALL motorists on the roadways spreads far and wide to the ears of all! ~TimeTraveler09 Alright, since it is OK to have coins with agendas, here's my cointest and race! In an effort to raise bike awareness, I would like to ask all who'd like to participate to pick a coin, any coin and release it into the wild. The coin(s) will need to have it's mission being to raise awareness of bikes on the road! All coins released between now to Sept 19th (and is within the rules below) will be allowed in the cointest! Most coins released will win a prize coin, my 2007 Lackey coin! Also, the coin with the most miles on it by 5/5/09 will win a prize of my choosing (will have to wait and see what I can come up with by then)! There will also be other winners at my discretion (maybe least miles, first pillfered or whatever...these are only ideas and NOT catagories). Quote Link to comment
+sweetlife Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 "Respect those around you, WATCH for all users of the roads!" Not sure what this is all for but just getting back to being in the forums more from being away for the holidays. We love all the Yooper Terms that UsYoopers been comming up with and grown up in the U.P, these all hit real close to heart. How about a Sauna, anyone not from Michigan doesn't know how to pronounce it right. Being home in Michigan for the Christmas Holidays it was a real treat to have a Sauna Again. Quote Link to comment

Da Yoopers Glossary Pasty Finnish (or Cornish, depending on who you want to believe!) meat pie made with onions beef and potatos. Many variations on the basic recipe have been created. Some include rutabaga and cayanne pepper. The pasty was introduced to the U.P. by immigrants in the 1880's. Best to buy those that are made in da U.P. Those made elsewhere don't taste nearly as good. If it's made below the Mackinac bridge, don't buy it unless a certified Yooper has prepared it!.... (ya gotta have it with rutabaga!!) Pine Mountain Ski Jump One of the world's best 90 meter free standing ski jumps. Since 1939, has held annual ski jumping tournament. In 1996 held World Cup ski jump event. First one in United States since 1990. Masahiko Harada of Japan set a new hill record with a jump of 459 feet, a jump that also tied the North American Ski Jumping record. Pine Mountain Resort is also a great place for recreational downhill and cross country skiing. Located in Iron Mountain. Pre'ner Stands for "pretty near" as in: There were pre'ner tirty bucks out by da camp! Or, We're pre'ner Felch now. Quote Link to comment

+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 So...I'm always thinking of little ideas to spread the word. Here are a couple recent ones that may or may not get implemented. 1. When I'm out on the road, I wear the same outfit every day(sort of my own uniform) one part is a Polo shirt with the company logo(I have 12 of them). These will need to be replaced some time this year, so I'm thinking of having some made that will have my Look Twice image and slogan instead of the company logo. Whenever I'm bumping into people(truckstops, restourants, customers Etc.), many of them make a quick glance at the Logo on the shirt, so this would put the phrase in their mind. I know it will stick, since it's catchy, and that's how it got into my head in the first place. 2. Some trucking related businesses have a device attached to a CB radio that will periodically broadcast a pre-recorded message. I'm going to look into getting one of those, and have my Look Twice Message broadcast from my truck as I drive around, reaching any truckers that are within range wherever I go(like once every 5 minutes or so).

+usyoopers Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Respect those around you, WATCH for all users of the roads! Da Yoopers Glossary Sail Rabbit Delicacy enjoyed by diehard Yoopers. Actually it's the flattened rabbit (or other varmint) you find on the highway who just missed making it across US 2 with the rest of his bunny friends. The more vehicles that have run over it, the better! After peeling off the road let dry on the front porch or in the back of your pickup truck. When dry, sail it through the air like a frisbee. Seney Stretch The "Seney Stretch" is an approximately 18 mile stretch of M-28 from Seney to Shingleton. This stretch is a straight line run along the northern boundary of the Seney Wildlife Refuge. There are lots and lots of trees here, but not much else. The only notable road that intersects it (in my memory) is the Crieghton Truck Trail. This is nothing but a rut road in the finest tradition. Side By Each Standing next to each other. As in, "Der dey were; towsands of deer standing in da field side by each!" Quote Link to comment
