I need the top 10 to email me a high res picture of their bike for the trading cards. It can be vertical or horizontal. I also need a short description of the bike for the back of the card. Also include your City/State. It should take a week or two. My email is twcl2348 at yahoo dot com.

Sent. Thanks Terry!

You will have mine, just as soon as I can take Flexy down to the beach for some Speedo shots!! :shock: :p I think that will show off the seat the best!

All, I just thought of something for the playing card pictures, since the pictures will be much smaller on the cards, try and get a shot of your bike that takes up most of the picture so your ride doesn't look too small on the card. Just a thought.

Well, they aren't playing cards, but more like trading cards...It will be a set numbered 1-10....I can crop the pics as needed as long as it is a full res image.
 
I'm stoked that I was part of this!Thanks all for sharing a HUGE amount of info and plain ol' good times.Keep the builds happening all year long!I just started my next build for a friend with a 1 week turnaround,nothing major,a ladies beach cruiser for Burning Man :roll: .
Peace to all and thanks for all the comments on my build,it really fuelled the fire reading them.

Jay

I would also like to thank everyone who makes this site possible, it's such a cool site, with cool bikes and super cool people! :mrgreen:
 
WOW! Just wanted to say thanks to all that voted for Rock You Like a Hurricane!! :lol:
Congratulations to every builder that finished their awesome rides! :wink: :D
 
Thanks a million to the 12 people who voted for Poca Rata, The Little Rat! & thanks to all who looked at the build & those who posted.

Sensor, you're welcome. It was a little bit of work, but I had already been tracking the votes anyway. Thanks for catching that mistake for me, I was enjoying a barrel aged stout that night. Thanks also for contributing the cool stuff to the prize pot. I know it had been done before, but somehow it wasn't done last year.
 
well..i managed to tie for 13th two years in a row with past buildoff winners.Carleton....looks like youll be bunkin`with me next year! :lol:
 
ahhh! 13th place! one can only dream! loved yours(pretty much as always TBJ) simple,stripped down,clean,and mean :mrgreen:
no worries KF and thanks again(ive been known to enjoy many extra stouts myself...i mean look at 3/4 of my posts and thatll explain why theyre so awful :oops: )!
 
BRAVO TO FORDSNAKE and MoFaux!!!!!!!!!!
What a killer build and how could I not show support for such wicked and fun talent!!!!!
Plus I get to say that MY build name won BO7!!!! :wink: :mrgreen:

And now without further adieu, here is the UN-official standings for BO7!!!
Someone please double check this for me!!!! I have been enjoying this with a Victory Dark Intrigue (Storm King Imperial Stout aged in bourbon barrels 9.1%).

I have said it before and I will say it again, it has been a TRUE HONOR to build and collaborate with you all this year!!!!

Thanks to anyone that honored Flex-Liner 7 with a vote. I am blown away that I made the top 5 in my second build off!!!!! Thank you so very much!!!!

BRAVO TO ALL!!!!! Finished or un-finished who joined BO7 (the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH)!!!!
Look out for my Rocka-Fella 8 build next year!!! :wink: :wink: Peace on Earth! Good will to Ratters!

"Look out for my Rocka-Fella 8 build next year!!! :wink: :wink: Peace on Earth! Good will to Ratters!"
