BUILD OFF #7 DISCUSSION

[kingfish254]

Some I still own like the ratty truck, Galt town Hooligan because those two gave me the build off wins they are real special to me. Pay it back was given back to the original owner and hard luck was recently sold. Oh don't forget the Higgins it's my favorite bike of all and is actually undergoing a resto back to how it was when I first built it in 06. The bikes this year are amazing what can I say and yea I'm watching just still don't have a comp so it's hard to post on here. Congratulations to you all

Karfer, it's cool that you still have all of those wicked machines.
I knew you probably lurking around somewhere. Maybe next year you'll have a PC again and will miss it so much that you join in BO8.

MAN! There are SO many cool bikes in the build off this year! It seems like every time I come here I see something else that is awe inspiring.

TRUE DAT!!!

I think I enjoy the little things you see people do during the builds just as much as I do the finished product.

I'm ready to vote on something. Let's hope there is a little mayhem like last year; it makes things interesting!*





*Just kidding, no mayhem would be better.

NO MAYHEM and NO DRAMA. Dallas is back TV so J.R. has all that handled.

Here's a couple I voted for last year:

I don't remember what the third one was. Looking over all of them again, I'm thinking I'd probably vote differently every time I look through them. But really, that pink 20" bike is so cute, how can you not vote for it?

The SaraKate looks great in person, and the Single Speed Hotrod is what inspired me to use a diamond frame this year!

Of course I still have this big fat fellow sitting around and even take it out for a ride sometimes, its almost like pedaling around on a cloud .

The last bike is the Rodeo Bike and you really have to see the video to appreciate those wheels.
I love watching the strangers at the fair riide it around. Looks like he also did one with a full suspension frame.

Hey Steve, these need to go on your YouTube channel.

Well last year about 200 bikes entered and about 100 finished.

Right now we have almost 1.5 pages of Builds that are unresponsive.

Come on slackers!!!!!! Show us what you've been up to!

Need more freaky bunnies is what we need then :mrgreen:

I am putting them out there, but I refuse to double up on them. If someone doesn't reply to one, then they are on their own. I still want to know how their build is going or if it isn't going at all, but I ain't gonna waste good bunnies.

I'm not much for competition... SO STOP INVITING MORE! :lol:

We interrupt this program for a Jenny Craig announcement:

Hey, yoothgeye, I'm down 7 pounds.

You may now return to your normally scheduled program.

I think I'm up 7 pounds... you can have it back! Seriously, I've been cutting back on snacking and meal size but working for a church I tend to get lots of free meals at weird times. Also I realized that my frequent headaches were being caused by the diet soft drinks that I drank like water, so I've been diet soft drink free for over a month now and I'm trying to get use to drinking water, but also drinking juices and such which aren't as "slimming" as my diet drinks were and I think my body is confused.

Got a lot done and decided today, but the highlight of the day was meeting up with Dr. Tankenstein, his lovely wife, and cool daughter. I road Fugsley down to meet them at the Crystal Beer Parlor and they followed me back to my house to see my stable of bikes including Flex-Liner 7. Rob is a great guy and has a wonderful family. It was a pleasure to spend time with them.

Here is a photo of Rob and I with Flexy. I was sweating up a storm after huffing it back to the house on my 1 speed Fugsley

Great! Now I can put a real face to Doc. Have one for me guys! Hey B! Two buildoffs and two new friends! Way to go! Peace

 

[kingfish254]

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'.

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.
