Monster challenge not so great according to owners....suggestions?

DMF FTW!!

we should have our own monster challenge and embarrass them (into doing the right thing).

2 categories:  Speed Mods and Total Mods

1.  Speed mods are done to a stock or semi-stock bike within a short period.  You have to submit a photo of your bike with a current news paper to prove the date.  Then you have a week (or a month?) to mod it, and resubmit with the same pic type (or some other proof).  Everyone gets the same time to mod, and mods should mostly be off the shelf or some limited type.

2.  Total Mods should be the full-on, no holds barred, any time limit (i.e. you've owned the bike for 10 years etc).  Granted, this will winnow the pack a bit, but the idea is to get an idea of what can be done with the bike.

Do the contest twice a year, winners can't re-enter the same bike and cannot re-enter for 1 year. 

Maybe a separate contest for vendors to showcase their shit.

There is no reason the largest coagulation of Monster owners in the USA (world?) could not do this. 

Charge $5 to enter, winner gets a cut of the cash and whatever goodies sponsors will put up.  Advertise the shit out of it so you get more people onto the board and participating. 

Sell DMF Monster Challenge t shirts at all the rallies.  Esp baseball hats, people LUUUUUV their baseball hats.

Anyone who pisses and moans about the outcome is banned.

Voting is done by an online poll so votes are tracked and only registered users can vote.

what say ye?

I say crack is wack.

It's the type of thing that would be good now that our costs are covered.   We're still less than a year into this thing.   Will need help organizing.

that's why you charge entry fees.  make them small, but enough so the prize is worthy, maybe 50% of the entry fees, and the rest to expenses.  it might take off slow, but then again, you might get the whole Monster Challenge dumped in your lap by DNA, with expenses covered if you run it well.

ahh, i see, sorry.

No sweat. And Statler beat me to the not bolted on clutch cover jab.

Hell, I'm just jealous because I have a black bike with no custom paint and a wet clutch with no clackitty clack.

And tizzz, you're idea is great. I would love to help out if the ball gets rolling.
