Anyway,let that be for now and just vote for the pictures available now.

That what Ren did too, except in this case it was not even from the same year

He is a long time friend of Sofia’s. They met when he instructed on a Nurburgring course she attended long ago.

thats Neil and his mrs.. we stayed at his place back in 2015... couple of pics from back then .... have got more somewhere ...thats my dad in pic ... how do you know them @Pedro you been to his place

Doug Chandler back in '94...

No you got banned from BOTM for posting a picture that wasn't taken during the month of the vote.

Reflection Canyon UT...

SR 540 power'd tracker...

Only from your stories on here

My wife don't bitch and how do you know her

i got banned from entering BOTY for 3 months for doing that.... just sayin ... two tier modding and all that

He can bitch like a young Karen, though.

Spent the weekend showing a foreign friend around this area here. He's a Nurburgring instructor, British living in Belgium for many years, and a friend of Sofia's from many years ago. I loved his bike, gorgeous thing, sounds great, and it's 200hp!!!

I'm off until a week today so just chilling out enjoying the freedom. I was out on the XR this morning clearing some small fallen trees on a local lane that's enough exercise for today

In @Renegade's defense he's an old fucker and his brain is only running at 50% of normal, years are like months to him now

Anyone else working today ? I have just made a big box out of six smaller boxes to ship a headlight fairing . I knew watching Blue Peter when I was a boy would come in handy one day

Bellow you´ll find 2023's BOTY picture submissions thread: It wasn't just me that did something exactly the same as in December 2023, you might want to check @Renegade's picture, as that was the exact same one as well. Phil, you old cheating More than @Renegade's cheating, what saddens me is that last year the exact same effort resulted in 15 submissions. This year we lost Pete, Marcel is off stalking somewhere, but everyone else is still a member.

Twat

I apologise @Pedro , I missed the bit where it said you still had to own the bike . My bad .........

I think @Six30 should be allowed to run it , then we'd see what a real shit fest looks like ................

This shit wouldn't be happening if @Six30 had got the mod gig.

Whoever felt like debating should have provided an insight into how they thought it should be done beforehand, you could have then been timely told "thank you for the suggestion". Tantrums don't work except to ruin the forum's mood. This year we had less months of BOTM than usual because we were not be able to have control of the forum's picture for two months. On top of that @boboneleg was on too good form and as such he won 4 of this years BOTM, and Pete won 2 (I hope you don´t come bitching about breaching the rules on that one). Having everyone able to submit a picture of their own bike taken in the whole 12 months was an effort to allow people to participate and make an event out of it. Nothing prevented you from submitting a previously BOTM winner picture as long as it was in 2024, there was enough time for that on the correct thread, if you didn't win BOTM this year you could also try other pictures and give that a try. Now, looking at the rules, as they seem to be so oppressive: - One picture per member, because otherwise we would have more submissions than people voting. - Horizontal pictures are mandatory, and it's pretty obvious why as that is how they fit the webpage. - The time of the picture is taken, also seems obvious. - The one rule you are arguing about is that you own the bike during the contest. Pete insisted on that, it makes sense to me and I agree with it, so deal with it. In @Renegade's case, I replied in the submition thread about it not being his bike anymore. And it's not a horizontal picture either, it originally got through to BOTM because I chopped it to make it fit, I am less inclined to oblige someone that suddenly wakes up and takes a demanding position like they run the place. This BOTY is staying like it is now, I'll think of something in 2025 and then maybe change it to what it was before, or not. Suggestions are welcomed, provided they come in time and that you don't throw a tantrum in case they get refused. If BOTM becomes this source of bickering we might as well end it, life is tough enough without dealing with adult men throwing tantrums on the internet. If you wish to take on running BOTM and BOTY, and feel like you might be an improvement, send a PM to @Buckster and suggest it. I'm happy with whatever he chooses, and I'm sure he's very much looking forward to all the interested people announcing themselves. At the end of the day, you can get in and enjoy it by being a positive influence and keep this thing going, or ignore it and watch it fade. I would rather it kept going but it's up to you.
