I am going to enter Bessie (my Bessie)...
 
This is the part that many over look....

ULTIMATE HAYABUSA CONTEST!
"Any entry deemed inappropriate or unsuitable, in sponsor's sole discretion, will be disqualified. Entries must not contain material that is inappropriate, indecent (including but not limited to nudity, or pornography)..."


Hate to burst bubbles but many with the most votes don't even qualify... :(

ouch...my bubble got busted:(
Maybe I'll enter the "Ultimate Uncovered Hayabusa" contest and not get D.Q'd just for showing up:moon:
ah well-mebbe next year.
Good luck to all the participants and I REALLY hope the 'Ultimate" winner is from the 'Org!:cheerleader:
 
So they posted up the 24 regional finalists today. Most I agree with, pretty awesome!
 
Awesome - i am a semi-region finalist!...... oh wait, i don't think there was enough from my region to fill the group...
 
I think the Estern region was loaded with Busas. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea after all.
 
The contest has a lot of issues that they should have thought about before hand.

Good luck to whoever wins, just hope it's not one of the poser bikes..lol.
 
Yes, good luck to all. There is some neat stuff on there, and then some stuff I don't get... but that's just me.

P.
 
Anyone notice if you scroll through the hayabusas on ebay theres a few from there same pics...

That's because half of the custom bikes in the contest were built years ago. I'll be surprised what even makes it to Indy... :poke:

A few of the highest vote bikes don't even qualify for the competition according to the rules but whatever....


Next time they call it the "ULTIMATE HAYABUSA" contest maybe they should have a real competition where the owner has to actually ride the bike and PROVE something other than posing in a parking lot with a paint job... :rofl:

Hadn't been tracking this until now, but agree there are a lot of parking lot pimps in there. I probably can't say too much though because:

Hi, I just entered The Ultimate Hayabusa Contest and need your vote to help me win. You can view my entry and vote for me here: The Ultimate Hayabusa
Thanks and wish me luck!

They should have checked the voter IP addresses to see what's what. Odd how a couple bikes not even in the running can get 50+ votes in one night and be moved on to the semi-regional finals... :rofl:

???

If you wanted you could just keep registering as a different email to boost your votes and make yourself win... :disagree:

So it's a popularity contest that can be won by the owner voting for himself. :poke:

Next time maybe they could have the bikes actually compete and PROVE who has "THE ULTIMATE HAYABUSA!"....instead of the ULTIMATE PARKING LOT BUSA... :beerchug:
 
Can I say, told you so! :whistle:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

So all of the guys with the most votes (none qualified according to the rules BTW), NONE made it to the finals...lol. :poke:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
 
The number of Votes, Views, and Buzz, regardless of how many were trumped up by the bike's owner.... :whistle:, had nothing to do with the 24 regional finalists, nor the final three that are now going to Indy. That was all a bunch of BS. The contest stated that a "panel of judges would pick the 24, then the three." I wonder what the panel was smoking? Lord only knows how the finalist will be picked at Indy, darts at a dart board maybe? Yeah, I'm a little bitter because I didn't even make the 24, but I am a big boy and I can handle it. What I am more puzzled about is the final three. Really? ??? Although nice, there were far more deserving bikes than those three. Oh well, it is what it is. I am sure there is no perfect contest out there. Congrats to the finalists, enjoy Indy.

Now, for the Daily Rider contest..... The rules say the winner will be "randomly picked." :whistle:

P.
 
Yep,...but don't count on anything from the daily rider contest either. The rules say the factory exhaust has to be in place so it's got to be a stock or close to it bike to win that honor... :laugh:
 
Well, it's over, the FAT lady has sang. The "Whiteout" piece of cra** won..... :laugh: jk, it's a nice Busa. Does anyone know who won the Daily Rider part of the contest? I know it wasn't me.

It was a stupid contest anyway... :whistle: I am sure my opinion would be much better if I had won.... :laugh:
