Hey all:

I've been browsing the SVRider website alot in the past few weeks and I got an idea for the GS website.  We should have a GS500 of the month.  This is a cool part of the SV website that allows riders to show off their customized motorcycles and give other riders some neat ideas.  What does everyone think?

Cool.

I hope we don't see Knopf's bike every month.  Let me be the first to nominate his bike for the first month.  It is the sweetest GS I have ever laid eyes on.

Anyway, who will decide which bike is chosen?  Voting? Mods? (I question their judgement)

is there a prize? maybe a pair of GStwin decals? What is the meaning of life?

Would it be possible to do a "poll" each month for whoever puts there GS up for voting?
Moderators could maybe run it.

I think a "Panel" of 3 or 5 Judges would be better than a poll.   or maybe this "Panel" chooses a few bikes then holds a poll.

In that case there has got to be some sorta prize, At least some GStwin Decals.  Or maybe a Random object like in that STUFF magazine.

that'd be fun. Nobody but the prize giver will know what it is, then when the recipient gets it they have to post a pic and let us know what it is.

Am I rambling again? ~sigh~ shaZam! I need a Job where I actually do things.

hahaha that got started on TLP...then SVRider took it up...now just about EVERY site does it...

mjmcondor

Wow...good response so far.

I think it should be done as a poll and get its own spot under the 'Main Area' in the GS Message Board Home Page.  A panel could work too, but then how would it be decided who is on it.

Moderators, is the 'GS of the Month' thing possible?

well i think what would be better is to have a photo conest.

so lets say the mod picks the first chalange, say it be a picture with a thanksgiving back ground.

the winner picks the next chalange, the next chalange would be to o say include winter in the back ground.

or any thing the winner want to to pick and then so on so forth

Then again...someone has to decide which bikes of the ones that are submitted get to be voted on.

On TLP it's forum nomination.  You can't submit your own bike.  At the beginning of the month the staff takes in nominations.  The last week of the month the staff closes nominations and sets up a poll and the forum vots for the their favorite.  The winner is the next months TL of the MOnth.  Winners can't be re-submitted for 6 months.

I always thought it'd be cool if the nominations were "purchased"...it cost you $1 to nominate a bike.  The winn GS'er gets the nomination fees.

dude were all (well most) on gs500. no one has a 1$ to give up other wise i would have gotten my busa killer
