XTreme Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Now as you know, the BOTM (Bike of the Month) winner gets their bike in the header for a month. The problem is that because of the height restrictions for the header (cos you can't have it coming right down the page).......pics have to be taken from a distance which tends not to look that good. So I've come up with the idea of moving BOTM winner elsewhere "below the fold" and running with an eye catching graphic in the header instead. There are top quality images I could use there......but I'd like to personalise it a bit by using members' bikes textured into it. So here's the way forward! @Pedro will start a new thread where you can submit your entry......one member gets one entry. So if you have multiple bikes you have to select one only. To get a decent number of bikes in the graphic we ideally need a front view showing a bit of the side......something like this..... And try and have some sort of decent background immediately behind the bike. Not taken in front of a Dumpster, or a public toilet or something! Obviously the site is adventure based so some good offroad ones would suit, but we also need road ones too. So even if your bike doesn't fit in the adventure/dualsport/enduro genre it's still eligible. Even @Tym's mopeds qualify......but @BusBoy's boat and @Buckster's bus don't. I know this site is a bit different to others in many ways......but boats and buses are just too surreal! At this stage I can't say how many bikes we'll get in there.......cos we can't jam them in. I'd estimate about 6. Ultimately it may come down to a vote.......so you need to find your best shot and in the highest quality that you can. Don't post your entries here..... @Pedro will start a new thread for that. But if you have any ideas that may be useful then let's hear them! Once again, another initiative that puts ButtRider in the shade! Tell 'em @Tym 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tym Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 My best advice is to just pic the best pictures, and dont use old hags like my stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.....we need to show a cross section of bikes that's representative of the membership. I don't want it to look like some sort of drop-in centre for Pretentious Beemer Fuckwits and Fashion Victims! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
