This contest is an amateur biker build off that is open to everyone; every make of motorcycle; every size; and every style.
Rules are simple. It isn't a chance to wheel in your stock bike with a few bits bolt on catalog chrome. This is a chance for you to show how you would design and build a bike. That can be something built from scratch with a welder and a hacksaw or modifying a standard bike with a collection of secondhand or home built parts (with maybe a few new bits). The idea is to change that original design to make it different and unique. To make it yours. Get the idea?
The finished bike doesn't have to be registered or even legal but it does have to start and tick over.
Competition starts officially on 1st March 2011 and the judging and bike show will be held in Auckland on Saturday 3rd September 2011. That gives you a whole 6 months to make something magnificent.
Registration
Register by sending me a short description of your project and a picture of what it started life as, to irishjon@greasemonkeys.co.nz.
I will post the pictures and description on this Blog. From then on we will expect updated pictures and progress as we move through the build period.
The competition is open for individuals and teams from across New Zealand. We will have a separate class for people who are unable to get their finished bike to Auckland for the day of the show.
All the pictures and writeups from this blog will be used to create a book at the end of the competition so everyone will be famous!! I will be working on getting some sponsors to provide some prizes for all our hard work.
Remember
THIS COMPETITION IS FOR PEOPLE WITH IMAGINATION AND SPANNERS, NOT CHECKBOOKS AND CATALOGS.
Keep checking in to the Blog for progress and to register for Grinderfest. Let's show New Zealand and the World that Kiwis can build customs with the best of them.
Cheers
Irish
