A contest for us....the average schmoe

[erkishhorde]

How'd the last bike on the left tip... Shouldn't the side stand have held it up? Or maybe the other bike pushed it forward a bit and stand closed? I don't really see that happening though.

who pays for something like that, the first guys bike who knocked everyones over, or each individual owner?

Luckily I was there to take pics for you.

It folded the stand in half.

Everybody knows, if it's not air cooled its not a real Monster.

so like every other Ducati bike contest................



The winner will be the one who can afford the most aftermarket parts and bolt them on?


That is how that Superbike Concorso deal went in Indy.

Says the jaded fool.

Look at the concorso of 2007, it was simply a very nice classic Ducati that won - aftermarket had nothing to do with it,

And as for the Indy concorso, it was all about originality, and attention to detail, not bling.

Attention to detail?


Dude, that bike is nice and all, but it is full of every aftermarket ducati part that your business sells................


It is easy to pay attention to detail when you bought carbon fiber everything and bolted it on.

well..... thankfully the bling bike cant be at all the events


FWIW
At my first ever LDD.... Kavehs bike was picked out of the crowd  as a best monster winner..... oil leaks and dented tank complete. The guy fixed up his bike..... and rode the shit out of it, and IMO...thats why it was picked

Maybe after the same type of people who judged LDD that year, will be holding the clipboards in this contest.

That's cuz it was being judged by Jeff n' Michael IIRC.  They have different (read: better) taste than others.
