... and saying what a lame-ass idea for a competition.

i know -- let's have a mirror customizing competition.  everyone in for it?  everyone customize your mirrors and we'll vote on it -- ready? steady?  GO!

-- extra points if you paint-match your fenders. 



fair enough.

i think the swappable panels is a great idea, but i don't think it is the main point of the bike.  that is where they went wrong.  riding a monster isn't about the color of the tank which is why they don't sell them in purple sparkle (oops, they did that..)

the panels are part and i would say a small part of the options available, but you can't make  competition around that and expect not to be snickered at.

i hear Harley is having a "fake kick starter" competition.  bring your own fake leather jacket (to match your penny loafers).

But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

For the record, this was never marketed (at all) or sold to anyone as the "Monster Challenge". Someone at the beginning of this thread compared it to the challenge and it stuck. The Monster Challenge was not an internet poll. It was similar to the SUperbike Concurso as in people voted when they attended the event. Lets make sure everyone understands this fact.

your opinion is suspect as your idea of customizing a monster is teabagging it.

however, you are correct:

Grifo sold his seat as a "special edition streak" seat. Anyway, that is probably a better mod than what anyone can do in 3 days.

I'm not an airbrush guy...no talent.

Even if I was I just don't believe a paint job alone makes a 'special' bike...or a custom.

I wouldn't have painted it dark...

I can say that.
