The prize is a car! Won't be financial, but then if I win this car, it would mean that I could sell my current car and afford to finish my flat and finally get another bike!

I've got a cheap little cbr600 that I bought for commuting so I intend to make the meets in that though it does need a good service and some new brake disks!

Good luck! I've bunged it up on a couple of Facebook groups, and also on my old Varadero 125 Owners' site.

CBR600F, I presume. What year?

Good luck with the contest!!

Cheers, I really really do appreciate it! Hopefullly I get a few votes. It's frustrating not knowing exactly how far behind I am!

I'm only a member on 2 other forums - an Aprilia one and an Alfa Romeo one - and the Aprilia one wasn't particularly supportive, and the only reply on the Alfa one is 'dude go away, work harder and buy a car' so I guess that's a no-go either!

I do hate spamming, I feel a bit more ashamed every time I do it, but then I'd kick myself if I got this far and finished in 2nd place (or 3rd 4th or 5th for that matter) and hadn't at least tried to win!

Yes, it's a 1999 CBR600F. Nice bike, just needs a bit of a decent service and it will be ready for all the meets! (Though I still massively miss my Tuono, and hope to get another - most likely if I win this car, sell my current one and then I can get another Tuono!)

Cheers mate

Hmmm, a friend of mine has just pointed out to me that the current winner is using Vote Exchange sites on facebook to generate votes. I suppose between this may be why he's been so far ahead.

It's against the terms and conditions, so I'm debating emailing the magazine. At the risk of appearing like a sore loser (though I've catching up magically and only 3% behind him which is awesome!), I couldn't even fathom to use such tactics, especially[size=78%] with my job, unless I email the magazine, and they deem it too complicated to deal with, they may well just tell me to go ahead and do the same thing.[/size]

ChristoT · « **Reply #36 on:** 15 April 2013, 10:48:24 pm »

Sore loser, my arse. If he's cheating, he's cheating. You're asking friends here (which is kosher by my book).

Report him, hopefully they'll knock him down enough for you to steal a victory!

You going to Brum Bike shed on the 28th?

TuonoV · « **Reply #37 on:** 15 April 2013, 10:52:55 pm »

Thanks.

Unfortunately I'm working on the 28th, and at the moment can't use the rest days that I've got saved up as there's too many people off that day!

Closer to the time I may get the time off though with any luck

imax · « **Reply #38 on:** 17 April 2013, 08:20:06 am »

Just had a look at the current standings and Ventzi (Ice & Spice) is currently in the lead, but only by 2%

If you haven't had the chance to vote yet, please help fellow foccer and maybe win a £5k experience yourself

Would love to vote but not on facebook

Raymy · « **Reply #40 on:** 18 April 2013, 10:25:25 am »

HE'S AHEAD. MORE VOTES PLEASE

TuonoV · « **Reply #41 on:** 18 April 2013, 06:35:36 pm »

Thanks IMAX and Raymy I really appreciate it.
Also thanks Locksmith, unfortunately they haven't allowed voting by anything other than Facebook, which is a shame. If you do have any family on Facebook though, I'd really appreciate any votes.

I'm winning by 3% at the moment, it's fantastic but would be nice to get a bit more of a lead as it's uncomfortably close!

Thanks

shared on FB. sorry Ventzi, dunno why I didn't do that before

looking good now though. 3% lead...

TuonoV · « **Reply #44 on:** 18 April 2013, 07:00:26 pm »

Hehe that's right, I really appreciate it!

Closing date is midnight on 24th April. I presume that's midnight as in 24th leading into 25th, but waiting to confirm.

ChristoT · « **Reply #45 on:** 18 April 2013, 09:58:50 pm »

Apart from being in the lead from the cheating scumbag, any updates on that front?

TuonoV · « **Reply #46 on:** 18 April 2013, 10:03:03 pm »

Ah, I had an email from them this afternoon. They had a think about it, and decided that they will not consider vote exchange sites as cheating, and they will put them in same category as a forum. I don't quite agree with that logic, but that's fine - I only emailed them to check where I stand.

TuonoV · « **Reply #47 on:** 22 April 2013, 03:17:13 pm »

Hey everyone, I do apologise for dragging this topic up again, I just wanted to make another small push for anybody that hasn't yet voted. There's less than 2 and a half days left of the competition, and I am leading but the 2nd place is catching up and only a 2% gap now.

If there is anyone that hasn't yet voted for me, please can I ask you for your help? If you're willing to share with your friends on Facebook I would also be really really grateful! Voting only takes a few seconds if you don't watch the video (though your vote may be worth seeing me fall flat on my backside on the ice!), and you would also enter to win a £5000 experience day for yourself!

Thanks again to everybody who has helped me with this (and who has tolerated my postin on the forum). I've never made such posts before and promise never to again!

My video is called 'Ice and Spice'

Thanks,
Ventzi

Until the next contest...

Honestly though, good luck! Hope it all goes well for ya!

TuonoV · « **Reply #49 on:** 22 April 2013, 10:36:06 pm »

Thanks ChristoT. After the stress of this one I don't think I'll be entering any other competitions! Funnily enough I very rarely enter any, even forget to play the lottery most weeks, so I'm lucky to have got this far!

So close now, but he really has bridged the gap :-S
