IDK, am I? I came in 2nd or 3rd (2nd, I think) in this last FXRPalooza.

I wasn't thinking about that, though, when I asked what "build" means.

Whether I'm in or not, I'm still interested in how the word's being used.

In the current event you are tied for third, 4 votes out of first place. At the moment.

Define 'build'.

Does mine qualify? It was crashed and repaired/rebuilt.

Does mine qualify? I was only the helper on the repair/rebuild.

Something like this Joe.

Something like this Joe.

Surely that's a "restoration" as the frame is pre-assembled !!:help::laugh::laugh:

 

[Homesick]

Something like this Joe.

So it doesn't matter whether the work's on a 'need to' or a 'want to' basis?

And the motor has to be disassembled?

You're just funnin' me.

I'm sure there would not be enough interest in something like that here! :chopper:

OK, I'm in (I'm not gonna ask HOW apart the motor has to be).

EVOs would be interesting.

OK so here we are where Therm gets to fill the field with the Promoters choice.

But first a little business. Event #6 had no entries, so to fill that slot, Homesick and his 1993 FXRT get the nod. As the runner up in the Run Off event, it only seems fair.

The first 9 ROTY entries list can be seen here. http://www.v-twinforum.com/forums/rotm-winners-hall/501537-2017-ride-year-preliminary-results.html

Which brings us to the last entry. The Promoters Choice.

So if you got a scooter ya think should be entered, now is your chance to twist my arm.

Lets say two weeks worth of twisting opportunity. Subject to me changing my mind and deciding early.

So if you want a shot at it, post em up here.

Time is getting short, if you want to try to catch the promoters eye with your scooter, you had better post up some pictures by the weekend after the Great Turkey Culling. Ride of the Year poll will be going up on or around December 1.

If no one offers up a good alternative, its going to be one of my FXR's.

 

[cwilks]

stick a fork in it...it's done.

 

[Thermodyne]

Ya, but I still got to stir the pot once and a while.

Or someone will get all butthurt because they didn't see the thread.

 

[Greg_E]

Don't you have something else you could win with? Maybe a vintage sporty?

 

[Thermodyne]

Not me, no old Sporties around here.

I rode em when they were brand new and I was young and dumb and full of.......never mind. Point is, I have no desire to punish myself like that again.

If I was to decide to do a Sporty, it would be a newer rubber mount. An 88 inch Sporty could be fun. And if I win the lottery and decide to be knee deep in scooters, then maybe a 03 with an S&S 100 inch motor.

Thing is, I'm a little on the wrong side of 60 to be building hot rod scooters. And based on the days I was fit to ride this year, it's actually time for me to start thinning the herd.

You can send the 84 down here for exercising.

 

[Thermodyne]

OK this is it. The Promoter will chose the last entry for the V-Twin Forums 2017, 4th Annual Ride Of The Year by the end of the day.

I already have a sweet scooter in mind. But thought I give youens on last chance to influence the decision.


I guess I don't need to tell you that its too late for signing over any of checks that have been floating around. But there is always paypal.

 

[Thermodyne]

Well, here it is.

Drum Roll.....................

The Promoters choice is the White 93 FXRT belong to our friend Homesick.

 

[Alan S]

Nice choice.
