Oh, fine!

As Michael Feldman would put it:

1. All challenges posted in this thread have been carefully considered, although the rules have not. Ambiguous, misleading, or poorly worded challenges are par for the course. Posters who are sticklers for rules should start their own threads.
2. The snow is sure to melt before too long.
3. Posters who have won recently should sit on their hands and let someone else have a chance for a change.
4. All opinions expressed in this thread are well-reasoned and insightful. Needless to say, they are not those of the O. P., other contestants, or the Bikeforums staff. Anyone who says otherwise is itching for a fight.

I think the current challenges are as follows (but please correct me if I'm wrong, it's happened more than once!)

Easy: Clean your C&V bike. Show a before picture and an after Picture.

Moderate: Post a picture of your C&V bike with whatever mountain, hill, highway overpass embankment, &c. that passes for a ski slope or sledding hill in your area. Bonus points if there's still snow on it.

Difficult: Post a pic of your vintage bike with another two-wheeled vehicle of the same decade (or, + or - 5 years from the date of your bike), the same country of origin. The other item must be owned by a total stranger. The pic can not be staged. You must find the other item in the "wild". Acceptable forms of the other two wheeled vehicles are: motorcycle, moped, scooter, or non human powered two wheeled vehicle. Extra points awarded if they're the same color.
