Topic: New Ideas for Bike of the Month

[SOHC4 Cafe Racer Fan]

Over the past year plus, there's been waning participation in Bike of the Month.  Vote count appears to be down overall and, for some months (this one included), it is sometimes a struggle to get nominees. 

With the goal of trying to increase interest and participation -- both with nominations and voting members -- I encourage you to post suggestions in this thread.  Sam and I will review the suggestions and if we determine them to be beneficial, reasonable and feasible, we will either make amendments or create a poll to amend existing rules.  So, with that in mind, please feel free to post your suggestions. 

Some suggestions may include:
- Increasing the nomination time period (but this will decrease the voting time period)
- Selecting classes for voting by size (750, middleweight 650-550-500 and 350) classes
- Including bikes built by members for owners other than themselves (professional class)
- Selecting classes by type of build: survivor, restoration, restomod, modified (such as cafe, scrambler, tracker)

Please post your suggestions and/or your interest in others' suggestions for changes in the following thread: http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,176562.0.html

In my humble opinion separating categories would decrease number of votes as well. But I think the problem is that we can't keep track of who are contenders. If only there is a way to log recently completed threads?

There is a completed builds thread in the top of the Project Board: http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,166231.0.html

Not everyone uses it.
