He is a fantastic builder with an eye for the way different parts will interact. I am in awe of his bike.

+1 8) 8) 8) :mrgreen: And I'm only 39 years older than him! (2.5 times his age & he is 4 times smarter)! Great build buddy! I want to be like you when I grow up! :lol: :lol:

No way am I going to make fun of Double Nickle with his Bonus Brew. His true rat build is kicking most of our butts.
I know everyone is just teasing with him. :p The young man's skills speak for themselves in his bike.

Amazing. The frontrunner in the voting still accounts for less than 10% of the total votes cast. Of course, with the system currently in place, even if EVERYBODY had thrown a vote his way, he'd still only get 33.333%. Looks like 2nd place is the real race - only 2 votes difference at this point.

You should post the availabilty of your vote in the "Let's Trade" forum and see what kind of parts you can get for it. :idea: :p :lol: :mrgreen:
 
I just want to say that this whole vote thing has been a very humbling experience, I built my bike like I was going to win and I was confident that I would do a lot better in the voting, but I am a pretty confident person. Now that I see and understand the mechanics of the voting, my 9 votes mean a lot less than the comments, views, and following of my build thread. In the end, someone has to win, and though the winners will have less than 10% of the vote, it just affirms for each of them that they are the winner and affirms for the rest of us that we are all winners because in the lower vote-getter category there isn't a huge spread of points, you really can't say anyone lost.

I just want to thank everyone again for this experience, I feel like as builders and build followers we have gotten closer together and know each other a bit more and there are now over 100 bikes that I hope were built for riding and personal enjoyment that have risen from rust to glory. How 'bout we all do this again next year? :mrgreen:

I just typed this over on herr_rudolf's finished bike thread and thought it might be worth sharing here:

Petrohead said:
And I will third that. I had to check back and make sure I still love this bike and well, yup. Still amazing. The skills and transformation at work here tells me that we need a few different classes in the build-off. Just my two cents but: I see a lot of people commenting on the fact that they loved a certain bike but because it was suppose to be a rat bike build off they voted for what was most rat (even though mine started out rat and went rat inspired hot rod pretty quick) I feel it leaves out so many other builds that obviously deserve another class. Maybe like, rat/hot rod - best transformation, - best restoration - most creative/artistic Anyway it's all fun but I think that might make it a little funner! Great build Herr!

This bike is great, but the only think that makes it a rat is it's dumpster past. I agree on their being separate classes (rat rod, hot rod, restore, refinish, revive, survive, city bike, klunker, muscle, etc...) but it would just get out of hand. Basically everyone is on a site called "Rat Rod Bikes" so we're kind of stuck with it, which is fine by me, I built a ratty bike. I'm thinking next year everyone vote like they normally do but everyone leave their own "awards" in the comments on the vote thread, like:

Yoothgeye's Special Awards:
Bike I'd most like to ride in the city: Singlespeed HotRod
Bike that should've been sold in bike stores officially licensed by Hanna-Barbera: Scooby Snack
Bike most likely to give me nightmares: Labotomy
Best complilation build: Speed Demon
Best Pinstriping: Kidney Stew (even though you didn't finish)
etc...

This could be alot of fun and if my name ended up on one of these lists it would sure mean alot more to me than a click of a mouse in the bubble beside my build's name.

The Hangover Cure - Druggedonions


Thanks dude. I'm hoping that's your vote? It's appreciated but you get to choose three builds. And you check the buttons at the top of this page :wink:

Cheers Jonnie

Hey that makes sense. I was just thinking out loud. It seems like the rat bikes were outnumbered 5 to 1 so I thought it would be cool to bring in other classes or awards. I dunno, just lots of talent, creativity and fabrication that doesn't "fit" into the build off class of rats. Anyway I am blown away at the bikes this year and even more at seeing how many votes I am getting. I was shooting hard for top three and I guess I got it. Thanks everyone who has been a part of the build-off whether it be the RRB staff, the builders or the many people who followed and voted.
 
I'm going with total rust next year. All rat & all patina. :mrgreen: Not gonna waste time & money on paint! Rust is my middle name (not really)! :lol: It is my favorite color though!

Next year I'll do a 2 face bike, one side completely rusted and dented and oxidized, the other side shiny shiny paint and chrome. Take a picture of it against a mirror so you can see both sides... then I'm BOUND to get 1% of the vote.
