Sep 2009 BOTM / Featured ZRX - VOTE!

[Dallas]

Man, every one is a winner
and we're not talking Special Olympics here.




Would someone loan me, like, six grand.

Hey, I'm good for it.

Wait.... no I'm not.

[Kawasaki Phil]

In all honesty this is the hardest BoTM I have ever judged, well done to all.

In fact I have still not decided, Ben your bike is simply fantastic, Zed your tracky is a weapon. I very much enjoyed the story of the buildup as it happended. Mike & Nick, lots of nice stuff there and I have to say - Blue is the next best after Green

Mark, that bodywork is great, rest of the bike is not too shabby either

Well done everyone, I might be ready for next month

Ok, bubby, I voted for your Z-1 clone. Its nice...but it doesn't touch your orginial 73 Z-1 900. I think were both kicking our arses about now for selling our Z-1s. I sure as hell miss my 74 900 Z-1. Wonder if Numb nuts will ever sell it?

Next month I'd like to get mine in ..... 99 ZRX 1100 in 74 900 Z-1 colors.

Run the runner ups from preceding BOTM against each other. That should cover BOTM for at least a few months until you get more entries.

[Ben Zeppa]

This is what happens when you entrust a little information about your past to one of your friends. Thankfully they only have a little information. I guess they were right when they said, loose lips, sink ships. That would make me the Titanic I guess!

[KWICK]

Whoo-Hoo! Congrats Benn!!

[Zedarics]

Congrats to the winner.

One of my favorite bikes.... If only it was the right color..

Zed.

[climbingaz]

Congrats Ben! Well deserved and overdue!

[USMC4hire]

Its about time!!!! Way to go Ben. You and your ride deserve this.

[BlkZrx]

old guy's bikes' rule.. way to go, Ben!

[Ben Zeppa]

Sure is pretty quiet in this thread. I see that the Poll is closed and it looks like I have the most votes so I guess that I am the winner? I have not said anything because I was waiting to get some official word that my bike won. Since that has not happened, and I don't want to look like an ingrate, I will say this. As you get older, little things mean a lot to you. Winning BOTM was a dream that I had when I started modding my bike. I had no idea when I started that it would be such a long, and winding, and expensive road. Winning BOTM has made me very happy.
I would like to say Thank You to all the people who voted for me. I have a feeling that behind the scenes there were a number of people who helped get my ZRX over the top. I don't know for sure who all of them are, but I will guess and would like to thank my good friend Pete, the Arizona hoolies, the Southern California folks, The Northern California riders, and last, but not least, the hard working members of ACORN who worked tirelessly day and night to get enough votes for the win. Thanks everyone for making an old man happy!

[KWICK]

He does get a trophy, or at least a mention in the header right?

[redrider]

Well, I am certainly glad that I am not entering my ZRX with yours. My ZRX is officially retired.
