I am dedicating the future ROTM threads to Matt. Look after us. :cheers

Rules:
You cannot submit a bike 2 months in a row or if you've won within the past year. Voting starts on the 20th or after 10 entries, whichever comes first and ends on the last day of the month. The bike must be your own, but it doesn't need to be just an r6.
Please take a look at past ROTM contest for ideas on how to enter your bike. Bike does not have to be an R6, you just have to be a member of the forum.

Year:
Model (R6, R6S):
Engine Performance Mods (i.e. exhaust, PC3, etc.):
Chassis/Controls Mods (i.e. suspension, brakes, clip-ons, etc.):
Accessories:
Pictures (please limit to 4):

Also, tell us why your bike should be named the Ride of the Month. Give us the whole story behind it! How did you get it? Where? Include anything that will set your bike apart from the rest...

Good luck to all, lets make this another good one.

I bought this 09 as "dead Stock" brand new in 2011. Was not long after that I decided I needed to make it my own. it started life a pearl white/silver edition.I painted all the silver pieces in Milano red. Nine months after getting her I pulled a rookie move and slide her into a guard rail. Damage was minor and no frame damage was found. I ordered a set of Nice cycle fairings to replace all the damaged fairings. After about 6 months with a white with black flame paint scheme I painted this bike the way it is today. Every detail and modification was done by myself. Except for the pass peg turn signals thanks Ram and the powder coating. I am a firm believer that if you want it done right you do it yourself. I have lots of hours into and thousands of miles and she is my second wife as the wife puts it. Good luck to all entries this month.

Why should I be named ROTM? I entered August ROTM and didn't do too well. Track bikes seem to get all the love. :sing Well I made a few changes and I'm back! I purchased this 2007 R6 Charcoal (6700mi) April 2, 2012. I’ve never worked on a bike before and I did "ALL" of the work on this bike myself and that is why I'm proud to enter it into ROTM. I am also proud of the fact that I transformed this bike with low cost parts (minus the wheels) and still ended up with clean looking bike IMO! Time for a street bike to take this month! Thanks for looking.

q bike with no chain...what good does that do?
It's an invisalign chain. You haven't seen those?


Didn't have the rivet tool to install the chain when I took those first 3 pics. Installed new chain tonight (last picture).
