July Bike of the Month

[wacky941]

Fritz, that is an absolutely gorgeous bike, well deserving of the BOTM salute!
I remember when I bought my original '82, it also came with the matching maroon Bell Helmet.

That beauty deserves to be on the road!

Congrats Fritz, that beauty deserves to be on BOTM, almost too pretty for the road... For me the prettiest of the 4 2nd. gen. GS1100E colors.

Hard to care when you don’t know Fritz’s username. Is he a member that posts a lot, or hardly ever?

Exactly.....BOM should be members only....we certainly have enough here

[rphillips]

This has been mentioned several times in the past. No doubt, it seems a little more interesting if the BOTM is from a GSR member, but I like seeing all impressive old GS's... Wondering if it would be helpful or reasonable to somehow flag the BOTM pictures that were, or weren't, from members?... If there was ever a reason a member didn't want anybody to know, they could use somebody else's computer and put it in.

When mine was put up, I included my username in my description so it would appear in the listing. Why no-one else does this, or why it's not required on the BOTM postings, you'd have to ask the BOTM editor.

[rphillips]

Wish everybody did that rich. Why it wouldn't just come up automatic, you'd have to ask the BOTM editor.

I think it's because thegsresources.com website itself seems quite different than the forum. It holds a lot of information just on that site. The BOM is splashed right on the landing page with a button to "Submit Your Bike". There is a vague reference to the wealth of information and the great community of the members that are actively using the forum. Unless you start clicking around and happen to find the "Forum" button at the top, you might not even know it's there. There should be a BETTER description of the usefulness of the forum on the main page.

Also.. Not everybody is looking to join the forum or engage in any discussion. You can find a lot of information without using the forum, or search the forum as a guest to find what you are looking for.

He may be a member. Probably is. We may never know.

[Nessism]

Easy to say, "members only", but how many members have a bike worthy, that hasn't been BOTM already? How many of us "members" are submitting our bikes for consideration?

I know that on the KZ site, finding worth candidates is a big challenge. Open solicitations have gone out, and even PM's to members with worthy bikes. The struggle is real, sometimes.

Well the site could make it easier for people to post their bikes by starting a separate thread titled Bike of the month where people submit their picture and a little blurb about the bike and then the admin can grab from that that would make way more sense, or you could have a voting system by all the members each month like in the picture of the week game

Hear, hear! ………………

Gosh that's a good looking "G". Why couldn't we have that paint scheme???

[Rich82GS750TZ]

For some reason i don't have any bikes showing up on the forum, plus where do you add a photo for bike of the month.

You have to go the homepage and click on the (Submit your Bike) button under the photo of the current bike of the month. Follow the directions.
