BUILD OFF #7 DISCUSSION

[kingfish254]

So how many builds are in the shake down ride stage already?

Not mine. I need some welding first and that may be 2 weeks from now.

 

[kingfish254]

Go to my build and weigh in on what I'm thinking about:

viewtopic.php?f=67&t=56352&start=585

I did, I say go with the Higgins Amish Ape Bike

OK, that is funny!

I hope everyone has a productive 'build weekend'.

Cheers,

So how many builds are in the shake down ride stage already?

Mine is, realistically. I haven't really ridden it yet, as I put it down to build a scratch built frame, but I only have a few touches left on Hood Rat. Wiring, and whatnot.

Mine is as well. Discovered I didn't have enough tire clearance for the springer to function properly, so now the fine tuning begins.

I should be riding mine around, oh, let's say, August 4th or 5th... Hopefully.

I'm truly hoping to get done before July 23rd, as I go on vacation for a week.

I've rode mine a bit...All I have left is to put numberplate on...

 

[kingfish254]

Okay Page 3 and 4 builders. Only about 6 weeks to go.

Jump back in and give us an update of what's been going on with your build.

The bunnies are getting hungry for an update!!!!!!

So when does the "Finished RRBO7" Forum go on line?

 

[Jake Sensi]

Is it me or is Rustoleum getting crazy endorsements and money these months. Oh and my seat voting is still open. GTB!!!

I saw this at Home Depot the other day. Didn't buy it, but would be great for a steampunk build

These were used in a steam punk build last year... great minds and all... :mrgreen:

 

[kingfish254]

Also saw this at a smaller hardware store. Looks like it would make a cool light

I loved that build last year!!

My apologies, this is the bunny that started it all, I should've just let my cat eat it:

 

[Critter1]

I've been wondering exactly who, what & why the bunny thing started.. I jumped on board all willie-nillie without a clue.. Care to recolect?

So how many builds are in the shake down ride stage already?

I've ridden my mine around. It rides REALLY nice. I also took it to a show already even though it isn't finished. All that's left is to swap out the rear wheel and get the headlight working.

So, this is my first build off as a builder and a voter. I've been thinking about my votes as I look at the build threads and I was wondering how you guys do your voting. I am not talking about what you're looking for or who you're voting for, but more how you narrow it down with so many quality entries? I am thinking maybe the first time through, just weed out the ones I know I'm not voting for. Then maybe give the remaining entries a score of 1-10? After that do a tie-breaker for the 100 or so bikes that I gave a "10"??? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sounds like a good plan.

I usually look through all the finished bikes and narrow down my choices, then look back at their build thread to see just what they had to go through to get to the finish line and that will usually knock some out.
