Here are the rules:
You must register by April 2nd with Something Creative to be entered in the show.
Registration is easy, really. Email Something Creative with your name and how many bikes you’ll be bringing. and that is it! Easy.
Rule #1
The total cost, including the bike is $500.00. Yes that reads “including the bike.” This is an ECONO-build Challenge.
Rule #2
The bike must run. Not “almost run,” or “sort of run,” or “it turns over, but something’s wrong with the carbs” run. Run. As in start, idle, rev, move forward, etc etc etc.
Rule #3
You must show a bill of sale and the accompanying advertisement (craigslist, ebay, etc) of the bike to verify the price you paid. I’m not going to believe you if you show up with a brand new ZX-14 and say you paid $100 for it.
Rule #4
One item per bike is allowed to be donated. A motor is comprised of many different items, and as such is not an individual item in and of itself.
Rule #5
Creativity reigns supreme.
Rule #6
The judges reserve the right to check and/or re-value any part they believe to have been misreported. Ebay will be the final source of information regarding a parts value. (Come on, it’s called the ECONO-build Challenge)
Rule #7
Bribery of the judges is encouraged. Budget for “beer money” accordingly.
