Quarterly Photo Contest

[Thinker62]

We have some members that do not ride Busas, but they are very active. I know that it is a Hayabusa site, but don't like being soooo exclusive. I would like to let these guys represent themselves, their bikes and their experiences. However, with that said, come voting time, these guys would lose points with me (just being honest), because they are not riding Busas, and I wouldn't want an FJR to have its picture on the Homepage of my (our) Hayabusa site. I would think that there would be enough people who feel that way, that these bikes would not win. That way they still get to participate and have fun.

I have added a third choice that would allow all to participate, but should a non-Busa win, it would be only a moral victory because it would be disqualified giving the title to the runner up. The combination of choice one and 3 will determine whether non-Busas are eligible. (Don't want the concern of a split vote).

Hey 100%, I WIN!

How about we split that into two catergories. One for members and Busa's and One for the members that don't ride Busa's. That way the active non Busa people can still represent their ride and not feel like we kicked them out because of the Busa site

That is a good idea...should the poll results exclude non-busas, we can easily establish a Busa of the quarter and a non-Busa of the quarter.

I think you should just do that anyway. It will be the least offensive. The Busa owners get what they want and the non busa people get what they want.

Perhaps so, but lets let the poll play out, and we will go from there.

OK. We will wait and see

I'm definitely on the side of including all members, doesn't matter to me if you setup two categories or not.

Still against anything other than a Busa...No need to passify the

Good idea!

 

[MET]

All members as long as I win. No really I am always looking for good pics bike or person does not matter. They should however at least be members.

 

[Thinker62]

I wonder how many non-Busa riders we even have? I would bet not many.

 

[STUNNAH]

Thinker I don't know if you should have included #3...What good does it do to accept photos of non Busa's and then eliminate them if they are a winner because it's not a Busa???

 

[STUNNAH]

How long will this poll run before you decide???

With only 14 people voting, prolly doesn't matter much. i will let it run for a while today, but I am still waiting to here from Admin on setting up the framework. But feel free to take some pics...you already have a Bus.

[/QUOTE]

I can't take any pics right now not of me anyway...I can't get on the bike...But I've got something in mind...

 

[Thinker62]

OK, the results are in. 40% want to make all members eligible, and 60% either only want Busa owning members to be eligible, OR want to establish a secondary award for a non-Busa winner. So this will be the basis of what I come up with. I will be communicating with Dustman today to get this set up. Of course Captain has veto power over it all...lets not forget that.

[discreet007]

Thinker, do a pole on how many members own a busa and how many don't. That would help in your decision.

 

[pure_ego]

But I've got something in mind...

you do realize that pants are required in these photos I hope STUNNAH.
