This. Newer version is from Spain.

I know where a flock of turkeys hang out, in my yard! This morning I rode out to get a picture but they all scurried away. I know the lady down the street that feeds them so maybe they went down there for breakfast. I’ll check on the way home.

Sorry but when I got home the turkeys were gone. Maybe all sleeping somewhere after their good feed this morning.

I think it's time for a Mr. Bill clause with this one.

I took this shot 4 days after clarifying:


The first generation Ford Connect was assembled in Turkey.


Other possibilities in my general area.

Just about any connection to turkeys or Turkey would do. Crikey, use your imagination!

However, to put this misery to an end, I'll add a mr_bill clause. ("Why did the chicken cross the road, Colonel Sanders?". "What, I missed one?")

Next Mission: Turkey, not otherwise specified. After Wednesday, February 24, your bike with any reference to poultry of any kind or any majority-Muslim country will suffice.

(Since there may be new players, a "mr_bill clause" is a relaxation of the mission when it is proving too difficult to achieve.)
It’s baaack!

Way to kill the game, flangehead. Stuart Rule: NO MORE TURKEYS!

Two solid months later and I found one making a great display for his lady friend.



Let’s see if we can make it easy. Mission: A spring flower.

The spring flower challenge has been hanging around like a fart in a closet, so I decided to address it this morning while passing my neighbor's daffodils while taking Bucephalus on a test ride.



Assuming this satisfies the mission, the next mission is any bike you like that isn't yours.

My friend’s Specialized is nice.



Taken at the coffee shop.

So the next mission is your bike at a coffee shop.

Clarification: Does it have to be a coffee shop/cafe, or any reasonable breakfast shop, like a bagel place?

If someone steals my coffee, is it a mugging?

Let's go with some reference to coffee included in the picture, including but not limited to the word, a graphical representation or a cuppa itself.

(However, Turkish coffee is strictly prohibited per the Stuart Rule.)

Next Mission: Your bike at a coffee shop.

So, Italy will launch the gauntlet again.

The next mission, should you choose to accept it, is a bike in front of a gas station price sign.

Love the fact that you named your bicycle Bucephalus. My bike is considered a Starion Class Corvette Transport, the name being derived from the combination of star and Arion, Hercules' horse in Greek mythology, symbolizing a sense of the universe, and of power and high performance, just like in the old 1982 Mitsubishi car's selling brochure.
