BF is indeed a family. It's also so much more. I bought my Blaster thinking i could do this on my own. Boy was I wrong. Without the support of this forum I would have a blackened smoking pile of twisted metal sitting in my garage. BF gave me the insight and confidence to know, without doubt, that I can restore and mod this bike on my own. Any hurdles I come across, there is a member on here that tackled the same issue and has the insight to shave it down to nothing. I would gladly support this site for 10 times what is required, if that is what it took to keep this resource available for myself and all the other would be garage mechanics out there. Not to mention the money i have saved because i didn't waste my money, on an RM Stator, Chinese red chain, or DG exhaust, should be given back to the community in some form.

Lol DAMN i was waiting and waiting for this contest to start and i never saw it until 7am this morning and obv. Too late congrats Merc u lucky dawg, i woulda at least gave it a 50/50 flip of the coin

 

[MercMenace]

Hahaha. Thanks to all my fans. I just couldn't have done it without you all.

Seriously this blaster would be junk without all you guys.

I think in the future It would be a good idea to have the contest thread announced in a header or something on the homepage. I bet alot of guys/gals would have entered but the thread was pretty buried.

congrats merc !
i'll be handling the winning purchases for Gerry, he's already givin me the winning $, i'll get it into my bank and/or transferred into my paypal tomorrow.
merc, i'll start a conversation with you to figure out how you'd like to spend your winnings.
you'll need to provide me with websites, ebay item #'s, ect.
and your shipping info when you decide what you'd like to purchase, i'll order, pay and have them shipped directly to you.
no hurry on my end, but you can start a list asap if you'd like.

congrats again.

ps. i'm not sure how anyone else navigates the forum, but i click "new posts" everytime i sign in, and scroll down thru, if i haven't veiwed it, or it has new posts, it shows up in that list.
that way, nothing gets buried or missed as suggested above
