It's nice to have the bike of the month.

My bike will never make bike of the month, but it's mine.

Having a awesome bike that is your own.

Priceless.

I'd consider entering my bike but I don't feel like going out and petitioning for votes as the baggers do, and I just don't think it's a real standout from the rest of the Sporties in our group. We need something that is really going to WOW them.....

It's a numbers game...

Unless you are a popular member of the forums, you don't stand much a chance owning a Sportster...

I will admit though that I have voted for some baggersover time... but I tend to vote for the bike that appeals to me out the bunch... not just because it's a bagger or a Sportster... or what ever...

The bagger guys... it's got to be a bagger... lol

I've seen a couple of baggers win that I thought looked like dog crap... but if you've got the numbers, it's not much of a contest... lol

I have had people pm me asking me to vote for them.I feel that is in poor taste and amounts to trying to cheat.I vote for the one I like the most.I almost bought a bagger years ago but to be honest it wasn't because it looked good.
