I've no idea what critiria will be used next, but with limited places available, I'd rather see something I've perhaps not seen before and any new ideas, not the same old stuff that's aready been posted.

Cheers Mark.

But we cant put 20 entries into one poll, as the forum software only allows 10 options per poll, so we'll end up with two polls and then it just gets confusing like the photo competition does.

I actually think this way is better as we'll have a different category or class each month and then possibly we could put each months winner into an end of year poll and have SV of the year ?

I also agree with Mark, I want to see something different or that I havent seen before rather than the same bikes posted over and over again.

... i see your point but none of this was explained to me? i had no PM stating what was happening, no consultation on the way it was going??? all of a sudden my idea to do something different is no longer my idea at all? but id still be buying prizes, can you see where im coming from.. i dont like moaning and i will be flexible with it, my idea is one thread per class.. and one poll at the end, however i can see if more than 10 people post then it could get difficult as per the photo comp. its just gone from one thing to something different in a second, which has left me slightly confused by it all...

I should have made it clear I'm not saying thats how it will work, it was just an idea I had. Personally I dont care.

I voted for Bigapes bike why ?

OK the paint job isnt standard and it isnt a race rep. So it stands out and that would catch my attention straight away, then you've got the pointy clock on a curvey again its different then theres all the little touches that on first look at you'd probably miss. Just looks a litle different it stands out without shouting about it.

If there is a competion for bike most brought back from the dead then it's gotta be yours.

I know Girths is just a paint job,but my vote stands. Shallow me.

i vote BigApe cause I saw the before and after photos before they were deleted.. goooood rebuild!!! Oh and i only put mine in to even up the curvys a bit. Mind you it appears mine was rather blue underneath the fairings so i think its had rather a few bumps, theres a story to tell underneath all that polishing I'm sure there is.

I'm not really into modding bikes..I think curvys should be kept in a reversible modded state, because my view is in a few years time they will be like Elsies(which we have a few of).....more desirable, collected and worth more in an original type state( without rust)
So in my case its not about what I haven't done so to speak, its about keeping it like it is, very very clean.......after riding it, as yesterday it was blatthered in salt! I don't just polish my bike, I ride the bloody thing. Suzy will be kept like this also, as its a good standard to look to.
