I think I have voted 5 times, hopefully you make it into the the finals.  The lady might get more votes, but unless she has been schooled by Angelle Savoie then she will probably get smoked in the competition.   ;D


Good luck!

Great idea ;D
Time to vote again, I feel so ACORN like ;)

We're all lucky there aren't any Chicago-area semi-finalists, the voting could get ugly...

Vote early, vote often!

No I think he's got this. He doesn't have to win the vote, just the top 4. But yes, vote early and vote often to keep him in the top 4.

Indirectly me, but all of the semi-finalists...

It might be kinda hard to establish percentage ranking amongst the other 7 if one person had a couple million votes 'stuffed' in their electronic box ;)

Thanks again for all the votes guys!

I know this is a long haul guys, please keep voting!  Watching the points swing around each day, I know the other semi-finalists (well most of them...) are out working to expand their voter base... I'm still at it, and have more stops for flyer-handouts this weekend!  Thanks for the votes, keep 'em coming!

Hard launched the Concours yesterday after pulling over to get out the cleaning supplies and get a giant nasty bug splatter out of my field of view on the visor... Our bikes are not exactly a slouch off the line.  The 14R is in a different league altogether though, so I will definitely be all ears and try to soak up as much knowledge as I can during the race class.  This is one of those cases where I'd definitely rather be lucky than good however...  Gonna need a little luck!

Don't forget to vote again today!

Daily reminder bump...  A bit over two weeks left.  Going to promo the trackday we're doing next month to the Soldiers at right-arm night (monthly 'rub elbows with the brass' event), so definitely going to be tossing the voting bit out as much as possible there...

James,

Consider posting over to this Kawasaki board because it seems used more by international owners.  And I have not seen your competition posting over there. More of a clear field.  :-)

I posted in the sport touring forum over there, and even though Shawn E's brother had already posted in the main forum, I went ahead and threw in there as well.  I think Shawn's one of the best of the other candidates, but I've gotta keep getting the votes!  Thanks for the suggestion, and keep up the great work voting!

Hey everybody, another weekend closer to the end of voting.  Votes still count on Saturdays and Sundays, so please keep it up!  I talked to a bunch of Soldiers at Right-Arm night last night (monthly 'rub elbows with the brass' event on post), so hopefully that'll help spread the word.  The MWR rep that was there talking to me while I was setting up reminded me of where a couple of bulletin board that get lots of foot traffic are, that I either didn't know about, or had forgotten about.  Definitely going to post flyers there!

Looking better, cut into the hotties # and slight gain on the guy in third.  Time to visit the dealer for a test ride on a ZX, eh?

They had 14Rs available for test rides this weekend in Phoenix, but we did stuff for my wife's birthday (since she teaches at night school so we can't do it during the week...).  I have ridden a ZX-14, so I realize it'll be faster, but shouldn't be frighteningly so.  Two more weeks of public voting, and I've managed to pull back into 2nd place.  I know this thanks in large part to my 'forum families' who I bug every day about it.  Thanks for voting, I can't really even say thank you enough.  Keep the votes coming!
