ok...remember...


twitter clue:

Pompadour Bluff. http://ow.ly/ahGhP We posted a photo of it on Facebook long ago, but don't have a CLUE where it went. Do you? ;)






It's one step harder than finding the image

But many steps easier than understanding the image...


cryptic enough?

Finally found it, and from the hit count it looks like I was lucky #13, though I imagine some of the first 12 were repeats... ;)

I'm assuming there's no need since their completion rules indicate that we can include the URLs to the pictures so they should stay up through at least the end of the contest.

Nice, but it doesn't show much more than has been seen in the two teaser images in the video so other than confirming the look of a corner of the new battery pack so you know it isn't the early prototype, I'm reserving judgment.  (Though, there is a tiny reflection in it that I think might be "telling" ;)

Actually I don't plan to enter the contest...just downloaded the image a couple of time because I thought I might post it here...but so far it seems more fun to get everybody looking for it...

Did a little digging into the photo file...

The freaking photo was taken with an iPhone! Ha.

All my Enertia photos are from my iPhone...I kinda thought Brammo's photos would be from a high tech camera, but I guess these really are "spy" photos.

It did show a bit more of the "tank"...

1) no knee shield
2) nice flair of the tank
3) I think the tank is metal...but I could be wrong. The Enertia is fiberglass or composite...

Reread the tweet.  There's a word that JUMPS out at you, no?  Maybe it's a call for help and you should help them with their quandary.  When you succeed maybe they'll reward you... ;)

I wonder what that bolt is for. Easy access to the battery charger, or a hard point that we can mount things (like fairings) on?

Ok...went back to find the photo like I did before and it is a bit hard to find...maybe the new timeline or something like that is making it a bit more difficult?

New hint...Wall Photos.

Sometimes a bolt is just a bolt :)

I don't think that is large or strong enough for a fairing mount.

I think it is just a "lock/closure" point for the "tank"...something to hold that pretty metal? in place.
