Official November ROTM Poll!!

This is the voting thread.

I will update the poll as entries are accepted in the entry thread.(click here for entry thread.)

Deadline for entries is 11:59pm (eastern time) on the 15th of the month.

After the deadline has passed, I will edit this thread so that the entries will be contained here in the voting thread to make voting quick and easy.

Any vote cast before the entrant's name(s) have been added to the poll will be discarded. (No voting for "waiting for entries...")

No entries will be accepted in this thread.

As always, if you have not won the ROTM contest in the last 12 months, you are eligible to enter.

Thank you and Good luck to the contestants!

2006 Zx-6r

Here's my All Black 2006 ZX636. No Trick photography here... Just straight forward point and shoot!

Mods:
-Hyperpro Steering Damper
-Lindemann Suspension
-Sato Racing Rear sets
-Sato Racing Full Exhaust with Power Commander III Tuned
-Steel Braided Lines
-DDM Tuning HIDS 6000k Low Beam 3000k High Beam
-CRG Shorty Levers
-Flush Mount Signals
-Fender Eliminator
-Sticker that adds 20 Horsepower/Tq
-Other Misc.

The Story: I fell in love with this bike on first sight. I bought this bike to do everything with it; commute to school/work, group rides, ride with friends, track days, mountain runs and etc.. After having the bike for 2 weeks, I almost gave her up. I just hated the riding position, it gave me a sore back and neck every time I rode for longer than 30minutes. I thought about selling it and buying a Ducati s4r. I listed the bike on craigslist, and while the listing was up- I was still riding the bike, and unfortunately I crashed. Luckily, I didn't get injured but the bike itself was pretty bad. I only had one way insurance so I had to fix it with money out of my own pocket. I did just that. After fixing her up, the love for the bike resurfaced. I couldn't let her go, I took the listing off and continued riding it. I am used to the bike now and can ride for a long period of time without having a hint of soreness. I basically take her everywhere, I recorded some of my rides which you can see here: http://www.youtube.com/user/caiden915x Currently, I am waiting for my first track day!

So there's my ride, I would place it in a vintage category, since its a 1999 and cannot really be compared to the two other bikes which have been posted yet, but anyway...





The two next one are old; some mod since then





The pipe as been fixed since this pic has been taken



And that's me showing off...

Here are the specs:
- ZX7R 1999 (750cc)
- Dynojet Kit
- K/N Performance Air Filter
- Advanced timing
- Both front and rear sprocket changed for acceleration setting
- Muzzy exhaust system
- Carbon tank protector
- Polished aluminum chain guard
- Carbon Tachometer + triple tree cover
- Black windjammer
- Fender eliminator
- Carbon flasher kit(front/rear)
- Yellow under-tail (same color as bike)

Coming soon:
- Clutch and Brake master cylinder aluminum cover
- Carbon Racing mirrors
- Mods to seats(working on it now)
- HID light kit
- LED lighting

And here's the story:

I bought this bike at the beginning of last summer, so this is my second season. I'm 21 and live around Montréal, Canada. This is my first 'real' ride, cuz I had this shitty Kawasaki Ltd 1984 before, and I'm not about to give this one away. I loved this bike, this is my absolute passion. Since I bought it, I've done around 18 000km and I'm not bored at all.

The interesting part of the story is that here in Québec, registration fees are different depending on your bike class. I'm sure you know who usually pays the most... sport bikes. But mine is very special, because the first owner had the bike stolen, so the serial number was removed, and they finally found the bike... To make it short, my bike is now considered as ''home-made'' so I only pay 500$ when I should be paying 1000$ this year, next year I'll be paying 600$ while I would be paying 1500$!!!

Enough talking, time to vote for my bike...

I've got a 2009 ZX10-R Special Edition. It's a beast of a bike and I wouldn't trade it for anything (except maybe the desmo....then sell the desmo and buy it back haha)

Mods in sig...







I entered before but I never told my story:
I rode a ninja250 5 years ago for about 2 weeks. Since then I have always wanted to own a bike, but wasnt able to because I was living with my parents and they didnt want me to have one, and I didnt get one since I respected their wishes. I recently got married in January, and in August I pull into my driveway with my 2003 ZX-636R ninja with 5600 miles on it, 3500 bucks lighter. I love my bike and have rode it every single day that I could, sometimes in the rain (most of the time I was caught and not do it on purpose). My first bike is a 636 and have no problems, actually I am kind of wishing I had a ZX-10R, but its hard to trade up my 636. W00t.

Hi

Well another bike for the vintage category. I know I can’t compete with all those beautiful hi tech new bikes but its fun to be here!

Year: 1990
Model: ZX-6D1
Eng size: 600cc
Pipes: Vance & Hines
Seat: Stock
Wheels: Metzeler tires
Accessories: Vortex rear sprocket, Fox racing shock, Kevlar brake lines.

And the story:


When I was a teenager the 1990 ZX-6 was my dream bike, I didn’t buy it until September 2008.
I found it on a trip to San Diego CA. just sitting there in a used bike and car lot, it was going to be sent to Mexico. I saw that its plastics had the original paint and the engine ran very well. It was just one of those situations you just had the money and the opportunity to buy a long sought after bike.
According to the VIN number and a sticker under the tank behind the seat, it’s the very first 1990 ZX-6D1 built! I’ll post the photo of it later to see what you guys say about that.

I changed the fork seals, adjusted the valves, changed all filters and fluids, changed the tires, fixed the brakes and changed the hoses to Kevlar. Painted the entire frame, changed the windshield for one I imported from Mexico (couldn’t find it in the US). I fixed innumerable small but troublesome problems with parts I found on the net from all over the place.

Even the smallest dents and scratches have been erased and corrected. (No dent was bigger than a fingernail anyway, and on the original paint there was nothing that a little polish couldn’t remove).

Finally one year later there’s nothing else to do to it but ride! It’s once more in show room condition!

You know what would be nice on this topic... getting a top 3 vote at the end of the month... I mean another vote for the top 3's of the month then we could get the real winner.

Because the way it is right now, we get some bikes like mine who gets only one or two votes... At the end of the month, this could change a lot on the result if my bike and all the other bike who gets not much votes would be removed from voting... Then those who voted for losing bikes could vote again for the top 3... I don't know if you get the point, my english ain't so good...
