So from Xmas eve until the morning of the 1st Jan there'll be a prize for

THREAD of the WEEK !

I'm not sure on the prize yet, but should hopefully be GREAT !

The 3 mods will vote on NYD for who gets the prize.

The thread can be about anything.... but i'm guessing a motorbike related thread will be winning :)

My "Boris builds his own Tory motorcycle workshop for cafe racers" thread is bound to be a winner.

So we have an offer of 'something', and an opaque mechanism for determining who actually gets it. And a strong hint that the winning thread will involve motorcycles.

Not a lot to go on really.

Damn. My planned thread of a review of a film about building the best kitchen for cooking the perfect diet to become a winning bicyclist during an epidemic in a Korean dictatorship isn't going to trouble the leaderboard is it? :(

'Shafties don't wheelie' thread might do it. :thumbup:

You might be able to work that into Yorick's 'new bike' thread?

Righto, hopefully one of the heaps of shit are running.
Mostly all guzzi's, so there's a slim chance.
Actually there's an old 650 Katana out there, that bastard will be running for sure. Had it on the back wheel a few times. Pretty sure it was shaft drive.

My 'The Umbrella' thread is gaining considerable momentum. Just saying.

13 hours from now is the start of Xmas eve and indeed the start of entries from Thread of the Week.

Yeah i wasn't thinking it would win anyhow :)

I'm thinking more a European tour highlights thread, or a finished this build of a Guzzi Le Mans, or did my first trackday.

Maybe even "the other in law got a turkey leg stuck in her arsehole after she drank too much sherry" as a possible winner....

The umbrella thread... nah, not so much.

Heck even @Dodgy knees has more chance with his mudflap of doom :)
