So I almost forgot this is happening... anyway, here are some ideas of mine. Some may be a bit forced, but others should work just fine.
Uneven - show the worst road, in your area, with detailed commentary.
Noodles - ask a shop or gas station for 'Sunny Bear' instant noodles.
New - Who did you last subscribe to, and why?
Yippee - what, besides motorcycling, can make you say 'Yippee'?
Beach - ride on a beach, preferably sand.
Exorcist - talk about first hand paranormal experiences. (bike not starting does not count)
Apex - show your favorite corner
Revolution - offer the next best name for this same game, for more diverse options in the future

Ok, I am going to start a new thread for the videos which I'll link to once I have.
I have looked through all the suggested topics and picked the ones I felt the most people would be able to attempt. Sorry if I didn't choose one of your suggestions, they were all great, but had to think of what would work for most people.
So the challenges:
S - Shoutout: Announce the Sunny Bear Challenge and Motovlog.com, tell your viewers what this is all about.
U - Under: Go under a bridge or through a tunnel and without becoming a nuisance to others, let your bike sing.
N - Navigate: Go from one end of your city/town/village to the other. Just the highlights.
N - New: Who did you last subscribe to, and why?
Y - Yippee: What, besides motorcycling, can make you say "Yippee"?
B - Buy: What was your last investment for your bike and why?
E - Eat: Go Get some food, show us what you are into?
A - Art: Ride to three examples of street Art. Give their location. +1 if they can be confirmed on Google Street View.
R - Reflect: make a montage of your favorite bits from some of the other people's entries in the challenge and give a shoutout to each person that entered (even if they only made one video.
The rules
1. Ride safe! Do not put yourself in danger.
2. The SBC will run from Today until midnight on the 28th October 2018 Times are BST (GMT+1).

4. The challenges should be undertaken in order. You can skip one challenge and move on to the next one, and complete the skipped challenge at the end but please try and keep them in order.
5. You must ride a motorcycle, scooter or trike and have posted at least one previous YouTube video riding and vlogging on your YouTube channel.
6. Once you complete your challenge, park your bike nearby (only when and where it is safe to do so) and run, or walk around your bike 3 times while chanting loudly “Sunny Bear”, “Sunny Bear”, “Sunny Bear”. Bonus points if you get third parties to join you or do it in front of crowds of people.
7. Each vlog must be at least 3 minutes long and absolutely no longer than 10 minutes long including openers/closers
8. Bonus points can be awarded for particularly interesting, quirky, funny vlogs.
9. The winner of the SBC will be the one with the most points. I will announce the winners on the 4th November.

damn it, went out to record my first Sunny Bear video which even included me doing the Sunny Bear dance and chant on Brighton seafront right by the pier in front of the whole world.... and my GoPro hasn't recorded any audio for the whole thing!

haha, I think I'll just delete it and have another go at it tomorrow. Am doubly annoyed because I had recorded another vlog too which also has no audio. At least I enjoyed the ride I suppose!

Reminds me of the one a shot yesterday where some rednecks were drunk fishing nearby. I was concerned they would carry over on the mic during one scene.
Then shooting this morning, I had to try three different locations for the perfect sound of the bike singing.
That is the fun part of these challenges stuff can go wrong and we either roll with it or do something else.

Already at it, @HippoDrone ? I am still in the office, thinking how to even put the first one together, for maximum effect.

Aye, I went out and re-recorded it. Just getting the footage off my GoPro now, hopefully it'll have audio this time round!

FFS, no audio again, not sure what is up with it! :-(

Holy smokes! Did you jinx it discussing mic problems on the other thread?
Does it get sound without the mic adapter?

it worked after, and it worked before, it was just when I was recording my S video.... where I rode back to Brighton and ruan around my bike shouting like a total weirdo at Brighton Pier again!
