Best SV 2008 - Round one
 
PLEASE DISREGARDE THE OTHER BEST SV THREADS THIS ONE IS WHERE THE ACTION IS :D

Hi folks after consideration and an idea by super mod fizz i will be running WEEKLY rounds for the Best SV 2008,

THE RULES :
Each user may show no more than 4 photos per class (so if you are entering two bikes that means two photos per bike),

remember that this is a public vote for the winner so any entries will have to state their case so a brief post about why your bike is best may help.

unless stated this is SV only owned OR have owned.. there are classes for non SV's


Entries to each class need to be in by the THURSDAY of each week, the thread will be locked and a poll/polls will be created for voting.
voting closes on sunday at noon and the winner is announced.

Prizes range from A1 / A2 / A3 Prints and SV decals to the top prize of a Proffesional photo shoot either at any midlands based race track or in a studio*

*Top prize winner, will recieve a phone call from myself organising dates and allowances etc

THIS WEEKS..

MOST RUSTED DOWN PIPE !

this is something that almost everyone can enter... have fun :thumleft:

so will this be limited to the 10 that can be put into a single poll for voting or be over several polls ?

and do the people who entered the other one enter again or not ?

Oh and what does best actually mean in this context ?


Cheers Mark.

hmmmmmm, most rusted downpipe..well it may not be that rusty anymore, but it did take an angle grinder(to get the nuts off cause they'd disintegrated), 2 weeks of soaking in plus gas, turning the engine upside down and then a set of stud extractors to get the damn thing off


does it count??

the clamp above had so much rust welded to it, it had split in half and stuck itself to the pipe somehow, it took a lot of swearing to get it off

Liz's bike, taken after about 2 months of everyday commute use through a winter.

I know most of that is dirt and baked on road salt, but there is some rust underneath there somewhere

best SV is just the title, for a round of competitions, the "best" part would be the best in which ever class you enter,


as for the rusted down pipe pete.. a bog standard stained downpipe isnt going to win against one thats been neglected for years.. i disagree they dont all look the same :D

Amateur ;):D Liz's SV does alot of miles. Her commute to work is 120 mile round trip so in the winter the bike gets filthy and its pointless trying to keep it clean so we dont bother.

Mind you after I washed it the downpipe didnt look alot better :D
