Default BOTM... Food For Thought

Did you every wonder why the is only 1 bagger represented each month and usually 2 or 3softails? Any how each month the bagger wins? What would happen if there was one 1 softail nominated? Those baggers are old but wiser.

Now I want you all to go to your room and think about this.

There is an old bull and a young bull standing on the top of a hill. The young bull says to the old bull "Let's run down the hill and f***one ofthose cows." The old bull says "Let's walk down the hill and f*** all of them"

I have no idea what the relevance is but I always liked that joke.

I've heard the Sportster guys talking the same thing. Maybe you guys are on to something.

IMO, the nicest bike usually wins regardless of the type. Go MaineHD this month.

I disagree. I don't think the nicest bike always wins. I do think all the bikes that are nominated are really good looking bikes, but the winner isn't always the best looking one. I guess that's all subjective though. Even if the bike isn't the best looking to my taste, the bikes that have the most thought and uniqueness to them get my vote.

I agree with ya Bros. I wonder if the Deluxe n the Fatboy are splitting votes. There's only one Dyna and Bagger n the two of em are doin pretty well. Id say let Loader get your vote if you're stuck between the 2 softails (I'm biased, I nominated him). Loader hasn't been up for BOTM or BOTY before...its an 07 and all the motorwork and custom work was done in less time than the other bikes. The bagger is an 07 as well, but its a bagger. Hehehe

GO Fat.

I already thought about it. Every month each forum pushes their own bike(s). From what I gather, most(not all) people vote their brand. IMHO, I don't think the best bike always wins; but as mentioned earlier, that's subjective. BTW, I am not suggesting the winner's bikes are not worthy, just not always the best, IMO.

I think the "system" needs and overhaul, but I don't pretend to know how to do it. So I just abstain now.

Although I do own a Fatboy, I vote for who I think put the most amount of work into their scoot! And that doesn't mean all bolt on's either......[8D]
