Beater Of The Month needs to be a new category! Post up your RIDEABLE and practical, flogged to death, P's of S? I'm nearing completion on a certain winner

prokaw875 · 07-23-2009, 04:17 AM

Yeah, Cause I think alot of guys that enter for 50 of the mont and midsize of the month dont even have a chance againsh some of the other bikes. It should pretty much be a B.O.T.M. with like nothing over an 88kit, no aftermarket frame, no marzocchi,bombshell,sr-5,ect high end fork kits. Jus like sp-5 or under and hd springs. No big bike style swinger, only conventional "A" style. And maybe a cap of say bikes with under $2000 invested w/o cost of the bike.

This is a great idea for the guys that would never have a chance against the $10,000+ Bikes that win mini of the month every month.

hahahah i love the idea...casue thats exactly where mee POS belongs...we should really do it up

HONDA_CRAZI_116 · 07-23-2009, 11:35 AM

great idea. too bad it would be one entry per person cuz i have a yard filled with em' haha

96Justin · 07-23-2009, 05:06 PM

deffinently that would be cooler than looking at the same old 15 thousand dollar primmy bike month after month.

hollywood213 · 07-24-2009, 08:32 PM

i would for sure love to see b.o.t.m.

ItsBrett_205 · 07-24-2009, 08:53 PM

def would be some intresting stuff

firepower354 · 07-24-2009, 09:00 PM

I'll start it up

I can't take craedit for the welding on the arm, pipe, and brake rod, but the mix & match motor is all from my spares bins. Crusty 110 Lifan with a busted trans became a 117, tuned up head, YX outer rotor. I'm gonna put a Horstman in, so I can have brakes with both hands...

HONDA_CRAZI_116 · 07-24-2009, 09:08 PM

heres mine its a un restored 1970 mini trail. the front rim is rotted so bad it broke but my b/f still rides it everyday. i can post a video to prove this thing runs and front rim is broken in two.lol

phatfiddy · 07-25-2009, 02:54 AM

Dang I think Pimpindahoes might just win this award

beaters almost always moto the best! hahaha

monaghan · 07-25-2009, 04:11 PM

good idea.
but i think a better idea would be a china bike of the month. lol

hollywood213 · 07-25-2009, 04:30 PM

chinA bike would be a good idea too

96Justin · 07-25-2009, 04:47 PM

yeah but china bike and beater kind of are one in the same har har har

catastrophicmx · 07-25-2009, 09:27 PM

great idea i might be able to win this

BlackBeard · 07-26-2009, 02:54 PM

good idea, Bt i disagree with the postings of rules, you should be allowed marzocchis or whatever. anything can be beat on so simply judge based on haggard-ness

jaredmi · 07-28-2009, 10:54 AM

My friends bike - At one time it was a Pitster X4, this is all that remains... he still rides it all the time.

Mods include:
Broken clutch lever
No rear brakes (all that remains is the rotor)
No front brakes
Custom half front fender, the only piece of plastic left on it.
Bent bars
Bent foot pegs
Custom flat spotted front wheel - upgraded to tube without a hole in it.
Recently he put a new used engine in it, so he doesn't have to be pulled behind a car to start it.

monaghan · 07-28-2009, 11:07 AM

and you wonder why there is so many posts about peoples bikes broken
that thing was clearly not looked after

No brakes, no chain. Fail.

There is a chain - it is wrapped around the swingarm and rear hub.

Category is beater of the month, this is the most beat on / neglected thing I've ever seen... just be glad it's not yours. I'm scared to let my bike get close to it for fear it might catch whatever that thing has.

monaghan · 07-29-2009, 01:27 PM

that thing isnt even rideable! botm has to be rideable
i think for sure though china bike of the month!! do it!! who ever has the nicest china wins
