I'm guesstimating around the same as the last build-off's...Many enter,but not all finish....

200 enter only one (hundred) leave...

RM, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say you should probably skip this BO. Take a break. You've done some great work lately. You deserve it. ahem

I think they are worried about competing with you RM... The bike you did last year was awesome and is the favourite of many of my extended family in their calendars...

Hard to say with the rules change we could very well have a huge blow out of entries, but I doubt it will be less.

So there is a new set of rules???

Just got my BO bike in the mail...or should I say Fed ex


And I found out what its supposed to look like

So my gears are turning...

I was a day late on this one, and it was kinda local! Great choice and can't wait to see what you do with it

 

[LukeTheJoker]

So there is a new set of rules???

New rules:

1. Cannot have started build before May 1st.
2. You can only enter one bike in the build off (can change bikes once if needed)
3. Start a new post and use the bike name as the post "Subject/Title." Keep a running journal in your thread about your build.
4. Must include before, progress, and finished photos (all in one thread please)
5. Bike must be rideable

So basically it would just be a big wide open anything goes competition and we'd vote as usual for the top three bikes. We saw from last year that while the division between traditional and anything goes was helpful, in the end, the traditional builds still dominated the competition.

I think the biggest stress has been eliminated ,other than time frame..the lack of rules will open up some creativity, I know there is better builders than me but I will have fun , Like I do every year I think this is my fifth or sixth B/O . Lets have sum fun!!!!!

It's really hard not to have fun during the madness of the build off!!!
I wonder who has been in the most build offs? I'm still a rookie, this is just my 4th BO.
I think Smoopy has been in most, if not all, of them.

Here is a question for everyone.
HOW MANY BUILD OFFS HAVE YOU BEEN IN????

 

[dracothered]

This is my second big Build Off

 

[Gold Street Customs]

RRBO3 was my first

This will be my third and final BO experience for awhile. Other matters of great financial importance will take prescience for a few years. BUT.....I'll still play along in the other fun with the rest of ya! Just no more big builds for awhile.

 

[grasscutta]

How many of the Aussie lads a looking at taking part in the build off this year. Might have to look at pushing my dirty denim build to the back of the shed and try have a go at my first ever build off

If it can rust let it

Three and out for me, too. Different priorities for my time space and money. Gonna build this one and let it age. Love this forum, though.

I am in for my second big build-off, 5th build-off in a row though if you included MBBO's and the Winter build... Pretty sure @bean from Rockhampton and @Pushie Pirate from Lord Howe Island is in, so that is at least 4 with you... @Funkme is an Aussie too, but living in Greece, not sure if she counts...

Sweet Ima do my best I know it was mentioned before that stupid questions are allowed but will be ignored so hopefully this is not ignored Hahah. We're exactly do we post our build progress

There will be a new thread group open up at the start of the build-off in the build challenges section, you start your build thread there.

Check out the Ancient History part of the site to see how previous build-offs happened: http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?categories/ancient-history.20/
