Bike of the month - New rules ????? - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

**jsteinb95** · 10-01-2008, 09:29 AM

There are quite a few members on here that do not own an FZ6. I want to see what all of you think about letting non-FZ6 riders submit their bike pics for BOTM.

I think, as long as everyone agrees, that this is based upon the originality of the photo as well as the bike itself.. so if they are a good standing member.. why do they have to be left out? They all contribute to the forum.

How about a poll on it for everyone to vote?

I was creating the poll as you were typing!

**boo68** · 10-01-2008, 09:40 AM

Did I miss that? or did you add that?

The poll hadn't been submitted yet.....I was creating it before you replied.

As long as they are a contributing member what they ride shouldn't be counted out from the bike of the month

Yea...that would be pretty sweet....A Gixxer winning BOTM on an FZ6 forum...

I like seeing the pics, but I personally wouldn't vote for one.

**AJ_rider** · 10-01-2008, 10:45 AM

I think it should stay an FZ6 only competition. This is an FZ6 forum, not that I dont appreciate non FZ riders contributions, I think the competition should be limited to only FZs. Just my opinion. I'm hoping to submit some photos as soon as I get a working digi cam, hopefully before wintertime.

Well I voted no. I've been participating in a photocontest on another (not bike related) forum. We started that contest there to challenge the photographers to be creative with the subject that was given. But yet somehow people always found a way to post sunset pics for every topic, and worst of all : they often won too.

Since we all drive FZ6's here, the challenge for us is to take inspiring and original pictures of our machines, and we're fighting with the same weapons.

If we're going to allow people to submit pics from flashy expensive bikes or cool looking street fighters, I already know how the votes will turn out.

By the way : how are you going to post a non FZ6 pic as BOTM on the main forum page? That would be kinda stupid IMO.
