2008 Odometer Race

zedx11 · 03-18-2008

OK, guys and gals it's time to start riding again and time for the second odometer race.

the prize for the winner is going to be announced in a few days, after all the contributers get their money in.

Post your photo of your odometer to this thread on April 1 for the start of the race. The end of the race will be October 31.

This is a little longer than last year, supposedly the people in CA. need longer to get some miles in for some reason.

only one winner for all classes of bikes.

you can enter the mileage on all the bikes you ride but please put your own mileage on it.

I am going to post a word in each thread (the same word) for you to write on a piece of paper to have in the picture you post. I'll post the word before April 1.

ok, the word to put on a piece of paper for the start of the race is rotor.

OK, so here is a summary of the prize fund for the gift certificate:

$20.00 from zedx11
$20.00 from CheeseHeadNinja
$30.00 from fretbuzz
$20.00 from TVoyagerXII
$20.00 from eidian
$20.00 from DebbieW

Total to Forum: $130.00

I'll chip in $20 in the name of the winner as well.

fretbuzz · 03-18-2008

I won't have a bike until at least may when I think I should be able to ride safely.

Since it's just a handicap against myself, it shouldn't be a problem to join late, should it? That might give the Californians a better chance.

P.S. I'll pitch in 20 as well.

TVoyagerXII · 03-19-2008

Is that an April 1st Odometer reading or an odometer reading now, for April 1st?
I'm in and I can probably find a $20 also.

the race starts April 1 so unless you are not going to get any miles between now and then it is ok to post the picture.

Darn and I had a couple of little trips planned before Apr 1.

zedx11 · 03-24-2008

can a mod make this thread a sticky please

looks like there has been enough other people kick in on the prize money that we are turning it into a gift certificate at Beartooth Kawasaki.

once all the money is in I will change the first post to reflect how much the certificate will be.

Good luck to all participants, ride safe, and enjoy the road.

*likearock4x4* · 04-01-2008

Thanks, for starting this tradition, Darrell. It is a blast, and seems to be taking a twist this year.

I presume you are saying that the word rotor must show up on a piece of paper in the same picture that your odometer reading is in?
