Actually... A better tactic would be to appeal to the many LX-owners out there who are not otherwise represented

That's really a great scooter!

As soon as Surfan seconds his nomination, it's in

If there's a reason that Surfan can't second the nomination, please PM me
Thanks, Linda

Surfan's excellent scooter has been nominated and he said that he wanted to be in the July Contest several times before he went on vacation, so...

That makes ten (count them, 10) very worthy candidates in the July Scooter Contest

OK, if I read the rules correctly, no more scoots can be entered into this months contest, so I'll throw some more pics up. There's not a lot that I haven't changed cosmetically. Some MV'ers like a lot of bling others don't. Obviously I do!
I've said before and I'll say it again, what I love most about MV'ers is how each one of us puts our personal spin on each scoot and makes it their own. I wish my fellow contestants good luck. You all have beautiful scoots

Completely correct!
We have 11 very excellent contestants in July's Runoff Poll (for the five finalist positions)

And this thread will remain open, so the contestants can post more pics of their scooters here, if they wish
This time, I will just be posting the rogues' gallery (above) and I'll leave the rest of the picture posting to the contestants 8)

What happens next:
The Runoff Poll will open for voting between on the 14th and close on the 21st at 8:00 AM EST

The Finalists will compete in the Official Voting Poll, which opens for voting from the 22nd and closes on the 29th at 8:00 AM EST

Good luck to all!
I'm delighted that voters will have such a lovely set of scooters to choose from

I went on a poker run today, 120+ miles, The GTS performed flawlessly, and gathered attention everywhere I stopped. I took a couple pics.

Very Nice, mate!!

But I think "L" closed nominations for July a couple days ago. We're gonna pick from the current list pretty soon.

But just hang on, and contact "L" for August. I think lots of folks would enjoy seeing your scoot.

Very worthy! Those are very beautiful pictures of a great scooter!

I'll be starting the July runoff poll tomorrow, without your scooter...
But I'll nominate your scooter when I start the August Nominations Thread (on August 4th or 5th)

So as soon as you second the nomination,
your scooter will be one of the first contestants in the August contest

I hope that works out for you
