Well, right now, we are having a tough time trying to get 5 bikes nominated for ROTM. I can't imagine trying to get 10.
We can throw it around though. Then we would have to get a specific cut-off year for that too.

That really isn't a good example to use. I don't want to trash it because I like the mono-post but the noise is in primer. The tank and wheels look like they haven't been painted to match the rest of the paint job. I assume that this is a work in progress but it does take time and money to work on a bike. If you would post this in the ROTM in it's current state it would loose every month. Finish the paint and it would be a contender. If you look at the majority of the bikes that are ROTM's they have everything together and look smooth. It is hard to win when there is a a newer RR hooked up in the mix. They just look so darn sexy!

being an old bike, no illusions about winning with mine, I would rather win in an all out rotm than in a sub category. Some have come quite close, second numerous times, like bindelsf2 and cityworker. It is just a matter of time and it will happen, and be that much sweeter for whoever wins it. At least that is the way that I see it. Just keep nom'ing them and show your support.
