OK here it is, the fifth V-Twin Forums Ride of the Month event for 2017.

In keeping with the previously voted on format, this month is an open event. Any V-Twin scooter can be entered. Long as you own it, it plays.

So now it's riding season more or less across all of the states, so there should be plenty of riders out and about. So take a photo or two and enter em up.

Just to make things sporting, this month the 2nd and 3rd place entries will carry over to the end of year events. That three scooters moving into the run off rounds.

As always, please remember to format those entries properly. And keep comments on topic in the entry thread. Don't re-post entry photos in your quotes. Save the fun and harassment for the poll threads.

Model:
Eng size:
Transmission(5sp, 6sp etc):

You can use these as inspiration.

Screw it, I feel like I haven't had enough losing lately, might as well try this one last time. And if no one else enters, I'm automatically forwarded for whatever that other part was. And yes it is the same entry from last year, haven't done anything else to it.

Year:2003
Model: Buell XB9R
Eng size:1050cc
Transmission(5sp, 6sp etc):5sp
Pipes:stock
Seat:stock
Wheels:stock
Accessories:
Where to start... White mirrors, dark tall windscreen, removed raised lettering and hand cut black reflective vinyl letters, same black vinyl around the headlights. Rebuilt top end to 1050cc bolt on big bore, XB12 throttle body, tuned with ECM Spy. White DEI exhaust wrap to accent the monochrome color scheme. Bullet LED turn signals with LED signal relay for proper blink rate. Replaced stock garbage headlights with custom self designed Hella Bi-Halogen projectors, wiring all done in fuse and relay boxes to look stock. Complete build thread on the light upgrade, half a thread on the 1050cc upgrade (got rushed with riding season and stopped documenting to finish the work).

Yes it is very quick and effortless to ride.

[edit] build thread on the lights

The end http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/633650.html?1325177911

Story: Not much, it was owned by a hamfisted goon which caused me to do a bunch of work to make it run right. Work is done so now I mostly just ride it. Doesn't have a name.

There are three spots going to the end of the year runoff, so the rest of you are probably safe unless someone else enters.

Can I enter two in this contest? I can take pictures of my sad, still torn apart touring machine made from many different cycles.

Hey Therm. How much to fix the vote and let him win. We can take up a collection.

Over a 100K members, better make it like $20 x 140,000 members plus $100K in office expenses for spreading the wealth. So make it a nice round $2,900,000.00

A few said they would give me a IOU. No one has put up a -2$en#e-. I think you are on your own.
