1ST EVER ‘Bike Of The Week’ competition at Mostyn Industries

It’s with a heavy heart we say good bye to the Winter Olympics. It got us to thinking though… why don’t we have a ‘Bike of the Week’ competition with all the excitement of curling… all the technological advances of curling… all the danger of… you guessed it curling.

So here’s how it works. Send us an email to botw@mostynindustries.com.au with a good quality shot or two (if you think it will help your chances) and a short description of the bike you are entering and any relevant upgrades we may not be able to see. 

Now to explain the judging criteria. We borrowed heavily from the second most exciting Winter Olympic sport Ice Figure Skating.

60% is purely on looks, design and any hand crafted improvements.

10% How well does it go

10% How well does it Stop

10% Steering and Suspension Upgrades

10% Roadworthiness Deductions *

* We are sick of seeing ‘Model Bikes’ put together by builders that conveniently forget to include brake arms, throttle cables or pegs for that matter. We want bikes that are on the road and not about to put their rider in danger or get pulled over by the local constabulary every few clicks. Every bike will start of with 10 points and for every infringement i.e. fenders are too short or indicators are missing (unless a pre 1975) etc 1 point will be deducted. Yes this is an advantage to Australian Bike Builders but tough, it’s about time substance won over style.

RULES:

You must be the owner or have consent of the owner to include the bike in the competition.

Winner will be picked out every week from the list of that week.

You can re enter your bike as many times as you’d like if you haven’t won or have made upgrades to it.
