I'm thinking I need about 30-40 votes to hand out. At least 20. Yep.

My guess for number of completed bikes entered by the deadline is 112. Winner of the pool gets...well, nothin'.
I tried being serious, but it was boring.

Pretty funny ain't it!!!!
We spend all of this time and effort to win a contest that has no prize other than an "atta boy/girl".
To me the prize is in the build off itself.

I was pretty surprised that first bike in that last group you pictured didn't get more votes last year. I expected it to rank right up there in the top three.

Yeah, that is a really nice bike. Lots of nice little touches on that one.

I agree, Go Away was one of my favorite builds, the paint scheme surprised and impressed me. The aged pinstriping was awesome and such a transformation from the original. Also he had a nice build thread.

Here is a cool Spaceliner build from RRBBO4
There were a ton of Spaceliners last year, but only a couple of us this year I think.

I know kingfish, I remember the rest of the pics! It looks just uncomfortable, wicked & mean enough to spark my taste. It's got the gears turning in my head for the nxt build, but I better finish my build off entry for this year first! Poco Rata is only my 2nd attempt at a RRBO build. If I have as much fun as last year, I'm happy!

Thanks fellas! I hope i can bring some unfamiliar and disturbing shapes to this years build too. .....YaKuZa..... "ImAgeArChY"
