IMO, two standards should be mandatory:
       The owner needs to be a DMF member
       There needs to be something special about the bike


I think that just about sums it up Howie.  The percentage of Monster owners here (like 98%) will dictate that the BOMb will be about that same percentage so a 'Ducati only' qualification I don't think is needed.

this idea is the BoMB!

my bike is in no way anything special to you guys, but it sure is to me  mo:t:

That's exactly the point 'Tini.  If it's special to you.....it's special to us.  wt:

Bolt ons?

Custom job?

It doesn't matter to me: I've seen examples of both that look like shit, and examples of both that look fantastic.

I just like reading their stories and feeling the enthusiasm from the wide variety of riders we have on the forum.

Amen indeed!

Just no STRAP-ONS, OK?

i would like to add:
Needs to be a Ducati. (Not necessarily a monster,IMO , since a few really slick projects have been born from other models)

My reason is because of parts interchangability....like an SS swingarm on a monster, or a Monster tank on an SS. These types of specimens are what creates our unique class. Monsters will still out number other models.

RB

+1 to that! There are plenty of us that are Ducati owners, but we do not own Monsters. I have seen all kinds of modifications, Franken-Ducs, and everything in between, and that's what makes us each unique. I think keeping it strictly Monster based would shut the door on some otherwise amazing machines.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

I love this idea.  I've got a lot of good ideas from MotM's and having 2x as many will result in more ideas!

Juan's beautiful M1000 will indeed be the first BOMb here on the DMF.  Just have to get it written up and get a page to display it on here on the DMF.

My vote is Monsters only, meaning the essential elements, frame, tank, motor. Just my input. I'm not clear how you want inputs?
