There are a few people bringing their game. If you are not in it to win, step aside and watch quietly from the couch.

I am not even getting into the whole sillyness discussion since I was a major offender in that regard last year. I made my peace with everyone afterwards.

However, to assume that only the "serious" builders "bring game" is a load of sillyness of a different type. One of the masters of sillyness made Top 3, 2 of us made Top 5, 3 of us made Top Ten. I think we were "in it to win it" and I think we brought plenty of game.

"Just build a cool bike and have fun" - That is actually one of the rules!!!!

That is the only rule I am trying to break this year. My bike WILL NOT be cool and you CANNOT MAKE ME have fun. :|
 
I avoided an auction today where a "Lot" of bikes was being sold, turns out my friend's girlfriend bought it for us. 40 bikes for $16. I think I'm going to be in trouble.

I was about to click "Submit" and thought "Why did I post this here?" Then I remembered:

This is the best philosophy. I snagged my signature line from Double Nickle a few years ago.
Double Nickle- " All I'm planing on doing is building a awesome bike for me to ride...."
 
Noticed the other page was locked :lol: I find it kind of funny how so many questions come from an online build-off...not like we're winning a million bucks :mrgreen:

My thoughts exactly, especially the wife part! :lol: :mrgreen: I have built a bike in the last two build offs. Both times I built something I think is cool. I have never expected to win, or been dissapointed with not placing in the top ranks. The end result was a build that I was happy with & proud of!
 
Here is the first prize to go into the RRBBO8 Prize Pot. Maybe first place in the Classic class, or some other category I make up.

No! Go klunker!

Wait... that wasn't an option... GO KLUNKER ANYWAY!

Do ALL 3! Go Low rider/ Klunker/ chopper.....A Low Klopper. Fat knobby tires, gears, raked out, long fork, candy paint, and sitting two inches from the ground.
 
I have my wife´s new bike on hold since early January 2012, I´m gonna use the buildoff deadline to finish it.
And the price will be the smile on her face :D
