    The Official "2009 mileage Contest" thread...

    i have placed this thread in the "general discussion" area because it tends to get more view's.
    please...moderator's if you feel it necessary to move it to another area let me know!!!!

    Let us all begin this race.

    here's how it will work.
    on the evening of April 14th i will place a "secret word" in this space. ( apex )

    the secret word for the beginning of this race will be "apex"
    here is my submission for the start of this race.

    do not feel it necessary to be as flambouyant as me.
    a simple pic with the secret word will suffice.
    please note each CC rating on your bike.
    my pic.


    this secret word must accompany a pic of your odometer at the beginning of the race.
    all pics will be held by me in my computer for the duration
    if you wish to "cement" your date of pic taken. use your cellphone as a backdrop.
    you cannot lie on a cellphone. at least i don't think you can!!!

    if you wish to enter into the race at a later date.
    you may do so.
    if you sell your bike or trade during the race. you must document the miles of previous bike and current bike using the secret word as well.
    "do not forget this part,it will be imperative in your mileage"

    you may enter multiple bike's.
    your winning's will be the totality of all accumulated miles for all bikes entered.
    this total will be classed in the highest CC bike you have entered.
    a good idea from ASP 125.

    please post which bike and what cc bike you are entering.

    you may enter "track specific" bikes that have no odometer,but please be honest in your mileage.
    length of track and how many laps will give a general idea of mileage obtained.

    there will be 3 classes run in this race!

    0-600cc class.
    winner's of this class wil receive a donation of 10$ to this forum(charity) of choice in their name from me.

    600-1000cc.
    ***same as above***
    donation to forum or charity of choice.(10$)

    1000+ class.
    ***same as above****
    donation to forum or charityof choice.(10$)

    to the grand winner will go the spoils.
    a 40$ donation will go to the forum or charity of choice.


    it is also suggested that all participant's contribute a small fee of 5$ per bike that is entered into said contest.
    this is not mandatory,just suggested.
    these fund's will go to the club and it's moderator's as deemed fit for club contribution's and or charity.
    "please send these fund's to the said above authorities"


    as i have said before.
    this is all in fun,but we need to make a little competition of it and therefore it will be allowed to post up your progress during said race to coax more of us to get out there and enjoy the season.

    whether it be friendly or competitive.....let's make it happen.


    did i leave anything out???

    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
    Only I will remain."

    Re: The Official "2009 mileage Contest" thread...

    Clarification please: Is each bike considered a separate entry or is total mileage (across all bikes) per person what counts? ie someone who rides two 600's - one entry or two? What about someone (me) with a 600 and a 650, two entries one per class right?

    total miles for bikes entered.
    I.E. you have 2 bikes.

    the bike of greater CC will accumulate the total of all miles.
    it's the only fair thing i can think of.

    Re: The Official "2009 mileage Contest" thread...

    sorry jeff!!!
    my brain wasn't working at 4am.
    i think the only fair way to do this by CC class is to give the totality of your miles to the highest CC rated bike you have entered.
    this is my choice for how to handle this .
    most people will ride their bigger bikes for more miles.
    i don't think it would be wise or easy to seperate a person into sperate groups on this ordeal.

    i hope all will agree with this.
