I'd like to say - and I think I speak for all the other entrants as well - these last several comments pretty much make winning irrelevant.  I am extremely pleased to see my bike and rider in the company it is in, because they are all indeed win-worthy.  I'm glad my fellow customizers and customs-fans see that, too!

well, I know I lost

it was okay, it was super fun souping out my bike.


*sound of glass breaking, and screams*

I mean, I learned a lot, and I also learned that with a little creativity, I can turn a somewhat bladn speederbike, into an awesome camp bike

either way it was a fun time

mmmm dun-dun-dun-DUUUUN dun--dun-dun-dun-DUUUUUUN-dun

I'm okayyyyyyyy




but in all seriousness, this was really fun.

pete your bike is just as good as everyone elses in execution and concept.  I think the deciding factors in everyone's votes has come to how labor intensive each build was.

You've seen several of my simple repainted speeders and yours is equal to or better than some of those, don't kick yourself down just because you might not have had the resources to do a from scratch speeder or something different.    It still looks awesome!  I love that seat you went back and added, that made it 10 times better than it was originally! 

what happens if we wind up with a tie?  just curious...

That's a good question, Devin, and certainly a possibilty since I was torn in between the choices myself as they looked so good.
Pete, your speeder turned out cool and I would be proud to have made one like that, buddy.

It depends, I guess, we can do a tie breaker or the prize can be split if both finalists agree,  I am open to ideas?

And you could have had a female rider, :)

in the event of a tie, we do the pistols and ten paces, right?

Everyone, I'm going to say straight up, this is the most difficult contest I've ever judged!   There are NO poor entries, and I simply cannot decide.  Each one holds a certain element of excellence, and that's what makes it so hard!  I'd love to see a giant diorama based on all 5 entries compiled, but that's for another day!  Amazing work you guys, simply amazing.  You've all gotten me back into customizing again!

Perhaps the two folks who are tied could post what they might like to see?

However, the ten paces did sound interesting!

I am guessing either run off or half of the take. Still, I don't know that Clint can cut his dio or gun in half!

I could probably be talked into another of each, if it comes to that. Were it a tie, a tie breaker vote might seem more fair that way, that fat wad of paypal cash wouldn't have to be split up.

In the event of a tie, Sten gets it! =) I think that's about the only fair way to do it.. I saw it in the rules as well.. somewhere.. small print.. lawyers removed it now though... have a screen shot somewhere..

All great entries, though I should have made a female clone trooper!!! ARRRGGG!!! :P 

Why go through life base fig, when you can customize?

man I just had a run-in with nastalgia last night and watched the old superman episode with lobo in it... you know the crazy dimwitted but incredibly powerful brute of an intergalactic bounty hunter?  aka "the main man"... had I thought about it earlier I'd have used him for my base on this contest and built his bike... althought I think it would've been invalid since his bike is an interstellar vehicle as well as atmospheric vehicle...

lol do you guys even know who I'm talking baout?

Now that would have been interesting!  Reckon a repainted Sabertooth head would do for Lobo?
