Rapid Bikes Modified Bike of the Year 2011...3rd place and chuffed! :)

[Wolfman]

The other day i was at the Airport, buying some reading material for a plane trip to Darwin, picked up the latest edition of Rapid Bikes magazine, have a flip through and what bob's up....my bike! And not just a photo of it, but it's in there as one of the 12 finalist's for Rapid Bikes Modified Bike of the Year 2011!

To say i was taken aback is an understatement! I literally almost fainted! My little bike up for the gong, amongst all the big bikes, the turbo's, the Pro shop built bikes, the lot! WOW! :jawdrop:

So anyway, it's a competition, and anyone from Australia or New Zealand can vote and WIN....There is even a really neat looking prize package up for grabs for those that vote...as for the winning bike, the owner just gets the prestige of winning, and a trophy to put in the Bar, in the Mancave!

Quoted straight from Rapid Bikes Magazine Issue #70

" For your chance to win this fantastic prize pack from Warrian Enterprises, e-mail [email protected] or write to MBOTY PO Box 3197 Umina Beach NXW 2257 and tell us in 25 words or less why you think your favourite bike should be crowned 2011 Rapid Bikes MBOTY.

The prize pack for voters includes a Helmet, Boots, Oil & Cleaning products from Silkolene, a Back Pack, and a cap!

Here is a copy of the original feature in Issue #66 of my bike...

And a copy of the voting page from Rapid Bikes Issue#70

Really too bad us in the States can't vote, but good luck. Definately a winner in my book, much better than the other ones that still look like normal bikes, like Humperdinkel said, if it ain't street legal it should not be included. Hope you win:thumbup:

 

[motojoe122]

Holy smokes, Jamie....I have not seen a pic of your whole bike, it'll win for sure:thumbup: That thing is the cats a$$:rockon:

 

[ELIZABETH]

How awesome to even get nominated!! WOOHOO!!!
So sorry we can't vote for you over here.

(A not so shameless bump.)

 

[ChevyFazer]

Talk about a ego boost, I'm guessing your the only private owner in it? Congrats man I wish I could vote for ya but good luck!!!!

 

[Kazza]

They would mostly be private owners. A lot of money spent by a lot of people

Private owners that have sent their bikes to pro shops to get the work done in about 10 of the 12 bikes. Extreme creations, carbon credits, etc, especially the bikes with the major engine mods...which is understandable, as very few people have the tools at their own disposal to do cylinder re-bores, etc.

 

[ChevyFazer]

I hope people take into consideration that you personally built that bike and again good luck, good luck, good luck, good luck, good luck, good luck and oh ya good luck!

Only 2 of those bikes deserve to receive any votes IMO.

The Speedy, always liked Speed Triples although it is wavering with the current model, and........................

THE MIGHTY BLACK FZ :rockon:

I'll get off my butt & do some voting when I get home.

Cheers for taking the time, cheers for taking the time to everyone that has voted, which i think is about 17 people so far, both from here, and from a facebook event i created, and invited a few like minded peep's to vote...

Who knows, stranger things have happened...

Mikey (Ozzieboy) sent me a text tonight with what he wrote for his 25 words about the bike....i reckon his clever and whitty answer might give him a better chance of winning the gear....

"It used to be a sports/tourer commuter scooter (Even stock they go well). Now it's a hard mofo. Somewhat like Colin Edwards. Lol"

:thumbup:

[spock]

Unfortunately I can't help you win what you deserve 100%

but anyway just let me tell you that I would have already voted for your beautiful black beast if I could.

She is absolutely AWESOME :thumbup:

 

[not4us]

You got my vote Wolfman!

Actually, the original article about your bike on Rapid Bikes was a great deciding factor on me getting the FZ6 as I realized the great modding potential of the FZ...
