Sorry, those are tough to deliver through the Intertubes

The best I can do is pics of noncontenders, like the one below

This one is described by the eBay seller as a "1986 Honda Helix Scooter CN250 **Chick Magnet!!**"

The scooter's story is:
Quote:
Well here it is! A 1986 Honda Scooter purchased brand new from the dealer in 1990. Honda stopped selling them here in the states in 1987 and then started selling them here again around 1994. I think the only thing they changed over that span were the rims. I bought this and used it for school commuting and put over 24K miles on it over 6 years. I changed the oil every 600 miles because it only takes less than a quart! I've painted it, originally red, then yellow, then white, ended with blue.

It has a custom stereo system that I installed. A couple of 4X10 Pioneer speakers that I put into wood enclosures, sanded, bond-doed, and painted. There is an equalizer in the dash, a 50 Watt amp in the trunk, and it all is hooked up to the Sony Walkman with digital presets and wait! -------- auto-reverse cassette player! Yea, I know, remember I was fresh out of high school and had alot of time. This system is very loud and very clear, It was no problem hearing my tunes going 65 - 70 MPH on the freeway.

See the bottom of the post for the results so far

I'm seeing a 3-way tie for 4th place, so if you want Poopy McScoot to make the cut (or you want to discourage it)...

You need to go vote at: Scooter Art Contest Voting: Pick the Winners!

Seriously? We're having a vote-off for 4th place? L from Jersey, are we going to have to impose a limitation to the amount of threads / polls you can start?

Well... Technically Ratstar did start this one

We will choose five finalists based on votes. Good luck!
But annoying people with physics and contest polls--that's what I do best!

And, just in case y'all had managed to miss Poopy so far:

Good one! Laughing emoticon



I would, but I'm thinking that it would be a misuse of someone's intellectual property

But since MV member Scooterdoodler is the intellect in question... maybe you should PM him

Thanks for reminding people about the art thread, L.

I have decided that picking finalists and then picking a winner takes too long and is generally silly for this contest. So.... vote to pick the winner and the 2nd and 3rd places. We'll then reopen for the August contest.

'Poopy' has an appointment with Corel Paint Shop this weekend, I should have him all spiffed-up by no later than mid-week, probably sooner.

I had no idea I was included in this thing and had actually snagged a few votes with my crap (pun intended!). I'm humbled!
