Can a bike be entered into more than 1 special month?

Just one standard and one special, unless it wins on the first attempt

I wonder whether we can do a "Bike + Vehicle" themed month, such as Bike + Car, Bike + Helicopter, Bike + Boat...etc if you get the idea.
Have done it before for a car club calendar where its was car + other interesting format of transport.
Might look good if you have a vehicle that is of similar vintage or colour way to the bike, or is simply unusual to look at alongside the bike.

I bet there's a few here who could tick that box quite adequately. Not me though!

What, you don't have a helicopter?

Many like to take a picture of their bike in front of a nice backdrop whilst out and about, so figured we could see what they've stood the bike in front of for the pic.

I've got a couple of old skateboards

Not anymore - it was a b*gger to park around town

I traded it for a Chieftan Tank - much easier

Make it a "rider´s" month: photos should show dirt and daily use. No garage queens. Avoid catalog specs.

I second that, that would be a cool month


In the old thread that got deleted there was a topic on “low spec” bikes? Like fire mountains, Bolinas ridge .etc
I think that would be a good theme.
