Here are the Nomination Rules:

1. Nominate one of our members' bikes for Bike of the Month - include up to 3 flattering pictures of the bike in question. This is an opportunity to recognize someone who's bike has inspired you.

Please don't nominate your own bike - make sure you have a well detailed build thread, post up in the Show n Shine area etc. and if enough people like your bike, someone will nominate it and maybe you'll see it as our banner in an upcoming month!

The Nomination MUST be accompanied by the member's User Name, a link to the thread where their bike is best described (Build thread, Show n Shine etc.) and a PHOTO of the bike in question.

2. Someone seconds the nomination (please only second one nomination)

3. Member should accept the nomination - If you're nominating a bike, make sure you're in contact with the owner, that they want the bike included and they accept the nomination. The Nominee should provide some back-story on the project, especially if there is a limited build thread.

4. Bike must be in running roadworthy condition - no basket cases. I know our bikes are never really 'finished' but it should be on the road and rideable.

5. If a bike has been nominated in the previous month it should not be included in the current month's contest. Skip a month and nominate in a subsequent month.

6. Bikes that have won in prior contests should not be included unless they have been modified significantly.

We will accept nominations for a few days till we have a good selection to a limit of 5 bikes per contest.

A poll will be set up and voting will take place for a week or so depending on timing. Whoever ends the voting period with the most votes wins :D

Ultimately the voters will decide!

As a reward, we will use a picture of the winner's bike on the site banner for the following month.
 
The Fish is Nominating a DTT Brat build just finished up by dmable44. The bike is what the site is about, not a zero budget build, but a rider build.

Maybe this month we nominate like builds with the focus on the Rider Bikes??

I'd like to nominate AgentX's Enfield Tracker: War Pig Renaissance.

Awesome bike that gets ridden. And it gets dirty.

Whoa, thanks! Honor to be considered. May not be pretty, but it's doing the job; the story of the bike has been variously interesting-to-tedious, but I'm glad it has held some value to watch it happen.
 
One or two more member builds... I see em in here and I see some that are knocking on the door... come on guys dont be afraid to nominate and vote... the definition of Trolling is walking through a bar with yer dick out and leaving with spit on yer face!
 
Will launch a voting thread later today - would love to see another nomination - lots out there!
 
Well that's a ringer. Popularity and a no budget build... Look forward to seeing the Drewski on the banner though... as I am building the one that would compete with it... so maybe I will stand a chance :eek:
 
I really appreciate the nomination Tune! She may not be as pretty, shiny, or exotic but she runs and works phenomenally well for being my first bike. I'm super happy with it.

Wow... I humbly accept. :-[

Dont take my post wrong Drewski eh! It's a complement.

Your KZ is a stellar bike and a good part of my motivation to build mine.

Good Lux Guys.

No worries Tune! I think I can 'read you' well enough by now. ;)

It's a little shocking to go to his thread to see what's happening, and find your bike nominated... I'm still more than a little surprised. :D

Well, mine might look a little more 'blingy' than the others, but mine is a 'rider' as well. If you get close enough, you'll even find some old dirt jammed into the crevasses here and there. ;D

All the best to all that get nominated this month. It's already shaping up to be an interesting battle. :D
 
Wow nice to the Drewski KZ up for nomination. Having seen him thrash it around the track up at Calabogie Motorsports Park I can attest to the fact that it is ridden and it will perform VERY well. Care has to be taken when when changing suspension geometry by adding upgraded forks and swingarms and that was the case here. The result looks great and performs just as well. I thought I'd let everyone know since Drewski wouldn't brag about that now would he ::) ;D!
 
Ha! Thanks Don... you're a good brother. ;D
