PLACE YOUR VOTES HERE!

[kingfish254]

Hey Sensor,
We have the same ties and such, but the flaw is when you have a tie, the next position after the tie is wrong.
For instance. HiaWhatThe and Lackluster tied for 8th. Then there is no 9th place. Orange Crush won 10th place. And similarily for the other ties. (see Standard Competition Ranking on wikipedia or other sources - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranking#St ... ranking.29 ).

Of course in the case of your prize it's up to you to decide how you want to rank.

 

[kingfish254]

King fish looks like you got a new bottle opener to use on your micro brews

Oh yea, I almost forgot about that sweet prize. Wow, what an appropriate one too.

THANKS MAN and HUGE THANKS to everyone that threw something into the BO7 Prize Pot this year. Its a pretty good collection that spans many categories.

Don't forget that if any of the prize winners are some of our overseas brethren, that raggedjim and I will split the shipping.

Congrats to Carlton !!! I would love to say I voted for you but I kind of figured you wouldn't need any help in the voting so I didn't :lol: I was a fan when it was still still Mustgo being built but WOW man, that bike deserves the No.1 spot hands down. And also tbig thanks to Kingfish for giving me the closest race I've ever had !!! Lot's of fun trading spots with you in the polls ... and Peatbog too !!! I was starting to think I should have waited before voting for Eliminator :mrgreen: With that said, there were tons of bikes I wish I could have voted for, it's fun watching the ones I picked climb up the poles, and a shocker that others I loved weren't leaving me in the dust too !!! I don't think there's a bike in it I wouldn't love to ride. Congrats to all for another great build off

 

[Gold Street Customs]

Cool !!! 69th place, awesome job guys, and Carlton ,well deserved win, hopefully I will see it at one of the bike shows sometime , (lots of Nor Cal bikes this year), but sadly I will have to sell Rhubarb Raider as I need the $ to finish other projects :idea:

 

[sensor]

sorry...i dont believe in leaving ugly gaps(cars,bikes,or voting)...
for the record you would have smoking in the boys room and the forward look tied for 19th BUT you have it as forward look as 19th with 16 votes and smoking in the boys room as 18th with 17 votes(looking at the #'s they booth have 17in the vote count :? )... so im going by numbers not a standardized chart(besides ive seen a ton of mis-information on wiki since its just people who may or may not know what they are talking about.if you can type it they put it up :roll: )
so...i stand by solid #'s and have yoothgeye,mezorro,joker63,kreep,&aka_locojoe as 19th place(my prize so i guess ill decide what 19th is since according to a standardized chart there isnt any!).
not trying to be confrontational(most already know but for those who jump :wink: ), just pointing it out.
either that or i can just keep anything i was going to offer since there isnt a 19th place

 

[kingfish254]

As i said, my rankings are UN-official. I will double check it for errors tomorrow. It's fine with me any ranking method the site uses. I think this is how it was ranked last year, but may very well be wrong. Obviously you have free reign on how you wish to decide your prize giveaway. I for one appreciate your prize pot support.

In previous years, ties have both or all been given the same placing with no gaps. Anyway, I'm stoked with finishing equal 11th with a frame I knew wouldn't be as popular as most in the build off. Thanks to all who voted for my bike and congrats to Carlton for building not 1, but 2 awesome bikes , and congratulations to all who finished their bikes. It's a shame I'm on the other side of the world........would love to meet up and have a ride and/or brew with some of you folks some day.

 

[EastOfEastLos]

Hopped on late but BIG congrats to everyone who entered and especially the official winner, top 3 and top 10! MoFaux, Hot Rod Higgins, MOSBY'S RAIDERS, Hex53, Flex-Liner 7, ELLIS SPEED SHOP SCHWIN, Eliminator, HiaWhatThe!!!!!, LACKLUSTER, I've Got My Spine, I've Got My Orange Crush.

Thanks to everyone who made it fun especially kingfish254 (congrats on 5th!!), Peatbog, yoothgeye, Jake Sensei and all the rest of you that make up this great and FUN community!

I'm also very flattered to have gotten 1st in Jake Sensei's Tuff Bike Comp! WooWoo!! Thanks Jake! Had a blast! Had a blast! HAD A BLAST!!

Don't know if I'll be in it next year since old bike are kinda hard to come by 'round here, but I know I'll be watching and commenting...or maybe in it, we'll see!

Peace!!

 

[EastOfEastLos]

CONGRATS TO ALL!! OK THE WINNERS OF MY TUFF BIKE CONTEST ARE FIRST PLACE-SMOKING IN THE BOYS ROOM. SECOND PLACE-HOT ROD HIGGINS AND 3RD PLACE-BULL DAWGED. CONGRATS!! PM ME YOUR ADDRESSES SO I CAN MAIL YOU YOUR PRIZES. AND THANKS FOR PLAYING!! THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE WHO VOTED FOR MY VISION-JOAN!! PEACE

Dang!! :shock: WOW! I was not expecting that! I greatly appreciate the acknowledgement and I humbly accept! Thank you Jake Sensi!

 

[Terry66]

Congrats Carlton....you built a crazy cool bike. You deserved each and every vote!

Thanks to everyone who voted for the Hot Rod Higgins. I swear my goal was one single vote. To have over 60 people vote for my bike is very humbling. I had an amazing experience, I made some new friends and I learned a lot. I certainly hope to be back again next year.

I need the top 10 to email me a high res picture of their bike for the trading cards. It can be vertical or horizontal. I also need a short description of the bike for the back of the card. Also include your City/State. It should take a week or two. My email is twcl2348 at yahoo dot com.

Also, I think "Chicks need love too" was the highest finishing girls bike, so I have a Wald front rack for you. Please send me your address and I'll get it right out.

CONGRATS TO ALL!! OK THE WINNERS OF MY TUFF BIKE CONTEST ARE FIRST PLACE-SMOKING IN THE BOYS ROOM. SECOND PLACE-HOT ROD HIGGINS AND 3RD PLACE-BULL DAWGED. CONGRATS!! PM ME YOUR ADDRESSES SO I CAN MAIL YOU YOUR PRIZES. AND THANKS FOR PLAYING!! THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE WHO VOTED FOR MY VISION-JOAN!! PEACE

Thanks Jake! You're a good guy and an awesome builder. I appreciate you selecting my bike as one of this year's Tuff Bikes!

Thanks!

 

[slowriderz]

Congrats to everyone that finished their builds and to the top voted bikes! It was an honor being a part of this whole thing.
I could not help but have this song in my head this morning as I read the results... Enjoy

[kingsting]

Woohoo!!!!

I tied for ...... last... :roll:

But then again, the bike I entered was anything but a rat bike. My build just happened to coincide with the buildoff so I stuck it in there. I got one vote from some kind soul who either felt bad for me or actually liked it. Either way I appreciate it. I had a great time putting the bike together and watching all the other builds come together on the boards.

Congrats to everybody that entered! There wasn't a bad bike in the bunch and I would be happy with any of them in my garage. 8) This was one of the toughest years to narrow my choices down to just three.

 

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

congrats Fordsnake. I'm happy to say I voted for you. That bike is a work of art.

congrats too to everyone else.

I'm surprised I pulled off a top 15 with my hap-hazard reluctant first attempt at a BO. Thanks to all who voted, and said nice things. I really appreciate it.

way to go everybody. It was a lot of fun.

Thanks for double checking my list. I didn't have Forward Look with the right number of votes. I looked back at other BO's and don't really see any official rankings other than top 3. I'm just used to seeing the standard style ranking similar to college football or golf and such. I will post both styles of ranking.

 

[Retro Rat Rog]

15th isn't bad, just wait till next year when I build a boys bike :mrgreen:
Congrats to the winner, I love that bike. I am all for the old serials and retro rockets.

Ride on dudes 8)

[Terry66]

Dang....Even with the correct standings and optional ways to rank the bikes, I am still 2nd behind Mofaux. :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[kingfish254]

. And also big thanks to Kingfish for giving me the closest race I've ever had !!! Lot's of fun trading spots with you in the polls ... and Peatbog too !!! I was starting to think I should have waited before voting for Eliminator :mrgreen:

Thanks CCR, that was very fun!!!!! I don't know if we ever strayed more than 2 votes apart. (and peat was sneaking up, I am glad there wasn't another day of voting).
Ellis is a wicked bike that I would love to own. It makes me want to find someone that will trade a pair of white wall thick bricks for a pair of my creme ones.

 

[p00r0ldlu]

I will echo the "Thank You" messages and congratulations to everyone who participated. I so appreciate having this online garage to hang out in. Thanks for making it fun and for providing such a great place to inspire our creativity. MoFaux is a work of art. Higgins The German Spy has inspired my next ride. There are elements of each bike that finished (and even some that did not) that I hope to incorporate in many future builds. Orange Crush was a joy to work on, and even more fun to ride. Thank you to all who cast a vote in her favor. I never could have imagined top ten. I already have a matching frame for next year, but I think it will look much more stripped down...a la Tom Petty "Breakdown". Thanks again for making this a place I look forward to hanging out in.

 

[Critter1]

I need the top 10 to email me a high res picture of their bike for the trading cards. It can be vertical or horizontal. I also need a short description of the bike for the back of the card. Also include your City/State. It should take a week or two. My email is twcl2348 at yahoo dot com.

Sent. Thanks Terry!
