    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I figured that I would get this thread started. This is similar to the Pic Of The Week contest in the Campfire channel. Mark and I will be looking in here for monthly BOTM entries, in addition to the submissions we get off the website main page. Thanks!
 
I'd suggest you change the name to " Bike Of The Month Game " .... Pic of the month doesn't lead the reader to open the thread to get information on the subject you want them to address .......

Just did that. Saw "Pic of the..." and clicked, thinking it was the weekly game.
 
I don't like Bike of the Month "Game." I think "Award" or "Winner" sounds better and more accurately describes it. Opening it up to any brand might increase participation, but sort of defeats the purpose.

So how about repeat entries? Same bike, different photo, say eligible again after 18 months maybe? If we had more participation, we could make like Hefner - one every month, then a "Bike of the Year."

Or we could just turn a camera loose in Trevor's garage and be set till 2027. :eek:

Bike Of The Month Submissions
 
I am current in the process of syncing the website with my home server so that I can make some changes to the website code. In doing this an idea popped in my head - why don't I grab a bike from out of the Gallery from the last couple of years and use that for this month's BOTM? That way we have a new bike for BOTM, not a repeat BOTM. So I am going to grab one and pop it in there.
 
Seems waaay better than not having a change at all for following month... And thanks for all you do, hard to imagine no GSR. leaving
 
Rob, I'll keep your suggestion in mind. ;)

Just to let you know I am now writing code to add the forum name to the BOTM and Owner's Registry 'Add' pages. I will also be seeing about making the picture submission process a bit easier (make it less stringent).
 
Have bikes ever been awarded "BOM" twice? Some bikes deserve an opportunity to be appreciated again. There are, IMO, classic GS's that are both rare and exceptional. Is there an unwritten rule? It would open up the field.
