Official October Ride Of The Month Entry Thread!!

It's the first of the month and you all know what that means...
Time for another Ride of the Month Contest!!!


This thread is for entries.

Voting will be handled in the Official October ROTM Poll thread.

The deadline for entries will be 11:59pm (eastern time) on the 15th of the month. Only 10 entries will be accepted as that is the maximum for the "polling options". It's first come, first served so get them in early. However, there are some rules.

-You must post a picture/pictures that everyone can see. No links!

-We would like to have some info on the bike, including year, model, mods, maybe a little story about you and your bike.

-If you have won a Ride of the Month contest in the last 12 months then you cannot enter that bike again. If you've got a new bike done differently...alright, I'll allow it.

-The entry must be a Kawasaki.

-You must own the bike at the time of entry.

Once the deadline has passed, I will copy the entrant's posts to the voting thread to make voting easier.

Good luck and let's see some of those rides!

Posts: 181
Year: 2008

Model: ZX6r

Mods:
-Yoshimura slip-on
-Pinebox Race Header
-Power Commander III
-BMC Race Filter
-Vortex -1/+2 sprockets
-520 RK X-Ring Chain
-Healtech Speedohealer
-5150 Rear Set Raisers
-Puig Double bubble Windscreen
-OES Frame, Spool Arm, Fork Sliders
-Jumper Mod
-Star Rotors 6000k HID kit
-Pazzo levers
-HEL SS Front and Rear brake lines
-Kawasaki rear seat cowl
-Carbon Fiber tank pad
-Stomp grip tank side pads
-Black twist style gas cap
-Black mirror block off plates

And the story:
I bought the bike earlier this year in March 2009, I had the intentions to keep the bike stock. But that didn't last long and the mod bug hit early. It started out I just wanted a bike to ride around and have fun on, then I started to get into track days. So the mods started to flow in and adding them on my bike as soon as I got them in. I enjoy riding the bike around with friends and on group rides, charity rides, etc. Where I really have a blast on the bike is using the full potential of it at the track. I can admit I have become a track junkie and don't know why it took me so long to try it out. The huge adrenaline rush of racing around the course, dropping knees and just having fun on the bike exceeding the limits of anything you can do on the street legally. I wanted to keep the bike nice and clean looking, without any real bling note to it. I have purchased just about everything I have wanted for the bike and very happy with the outcome of it. Future mods for the bike to complete my list, will be a custom tuned PCIII map and a steering stabilizer.

Since we're all in a festive mood and lacking entries...
A bike is considered 2 to 3 wheels and an atv is considered 3 or more wheels so it may be in the rules that a Kawasaki brand "bike" be in ROTM.

But just for fun, if we don't get 10 entries this month, I'll throw Moscap and your quads in.

185EZ should take 2 wheels off and give them to Moscap87, and they will be both in

You can enter as many times as you need to until you win. Once you win then you have to wait a certain amount of time.
