No Rob it was a genuine Q on my part. I know you have licensing tags on your bikes over there, but what is meant by "grabbing a few"?!!
Actually I am not surprised about that. The motorcycle tag games are not as common in Europe as here. The best way to explain it is to link to the first post of one of the games I am involved with on the ADV rider forum:
https://www.advrider.com/f/threads/scooter-tag-an-excuse-to-ride.972287/And another on Maxi-Scoots.com
http://maxi-scoots.com/scoot/index.php?topic=106.0The rules of the games are in the first post. The picture posted in the ADV rider scooter tag has an error so it doesn't show but other pics should show up for you.
Basically it's just a riding game... a reason to get out and ride no matter how close or how far.
Find a location to take a photo with your scooter included and post that as the tag. Can be any location as long as it's something not too difficult for others to find since it is, after all, to promote getting out and riding. Then someone else finds a location like that tag and "grabs" it by taking a picture with their scooter included and posts that before anyone else does... followed by posting another picture for the new tag.
Kind of like the kids tag game... but not.
The rules differ from one game to another as indicated in the links above, but the premise is always the same.
On the ST-Owners forum there are tag games in every state as well as in several countries in Europe and elsewhere. There is also an ABC tag game where the idea is simply to take a photo including your scooter/motorcycle with the name of a city that is next in the alphabet. So if I post a picture of a water tower, or town hall, or simply a city sign post of a town or city named Chester then you could post the next tag for a city named Delamere (since D follows C). And so on. When that alphabet is completed you start all over at "A". If there is no town with the next letter than that may be skipped to keep the game moving along. In the ABC tag game there is no need to grab the current tag before posting the new tag.
In almost all tag games I've played in the picture you take for grabbing the posted current tag must be one you took after that tag was posted. IOW, if I post a picture for a tag then you must ride out after that to take a new picture of that tag and post it. But the picture that you would post for the next tag can be one you've had on file or a new photo as you desire.
Like I said... it's about having a reason to get out and ride. Although I don't always have to have a reason to ride but sometimes it is interesting to ride to some location I might not ride to otherwise.
