No Pride??

Come'on guys!! This month's Bike of the Month class is cruisers and so far mine is the only T-Bird up for nomination. I don't have chrome switch covers, I don't have a windscreen, I don't have saddle bags,.... hell, I don't even have a merkin! Let's get those Birds in there for nominations .... (we don't want to see a Rocket III or an American win this month, do we??)

Yeah.... there are a few here that have them kitted out better than mine. We need to get some Bird representation going, and soon!

I have to admit, Dungbeetle's 2009 America looks pretty sweet and has me worried....

Nope, I have a less than stock bike. The only thing I will have on my bike is the BB kit, BC pipes and PC or Tuneboy. I 'might' add chrome covers to the controls and I 'might' put lowered progressive shocks on the back and I'm hoping a rear 'tidy kit' comes out to relocate the plate and clean up the rear end, outside of that I have no plans. I am a minimalist when it comes to bikes.

This is why I've not put anything up. I don't have anything to show beyond a stock bike at this point.

Thatch - I respectfully disagree with your point of view. First, I think even a stock T-Bird is a strong candidate here. Second, if you include pictures of those ground down pegs, that will impress the voting crowd for sure!

I'm hoping engage enters his with that fur seat cover.

And suddenly there were two birds in the running

I'm hoping the merkin fur gives me an edge

Well hell, there's no reason to submit now. Engage has it wrapped up.
