Plenty of mud slinging here.

Re:

I was joking! And 5th out of 7 in a race sounds good. In the top 3 quarters.

I make it twelve entries excluding the modern Raleigh bso (sorry)

3 more than this thread can go and the fight can start again in the voting thread!

This kind of crap goes on every month, it's just what I'd expect for a competition where you nominate yourself!

i think this all started taking a downward spiral when certain opinions made it uncomfortable viewing.
its a shame when people enter a certain bike and it rubs some members up the wrong way.
i also think posting and reposting certain bikes pics is not Necessary, we have already seen them.
the lesson i have learnt here is i will never win this comp, so i will just go and ride my beautiful breezer.
good luck to all the entrants.

Not 100% sure how this one will go but let's see.

Rhetorical?


In the first post.

January 2015 will be an 'underdog' special, entries only open to those who have not won the contest before.

And again on page 5 for clarification.

And 5 pages on after that you're still going on about underdog bikes? Perhaps we should be discussing your comprehension skills ad nauseam.

NAH.......

Im sorry I don't buy it.........,

It was an "Underdog" Brand Builder, with the rule set, that only members who had not previously won could enter.

Who the hell would consider members who had not previously won.....UNDERDOGS........, its comical.

I call BULLSHIT on that, and this underdog member nonsense since is simply the easy way out of a tough spot....!

I'm still waiting for yeti-man to enter an iconic bike he's had some local tack some bits on to..........again (is there a banner for Most Number of Times a Bike Has Benn Entered in BoTM?). Now THAT'S and underdog.

I thought Grinder was a local thing.

Growlr may be a better choice. One never knows.

What is wrong with his interpratation, he's not the only one to read it like that.

If it was
- January 2015 will be a 'white' special, entries only open to those who have not won the contest before.

Does that mean only white people who have not won before is the theme?

People who have not won before are white ?

Would you assume it's a White Bike contest or a White Person contest?

Or is the theme of White completely ignored ?

It's a cock up, it's a bit of fun still and John can decide which are or are not in the contest as per the usual rules.

and there is nothing wrong with a cock up, it just means the contest is probably not what was intended either way. Bikes will still be voted on and them tyre will still look rediculous.
