Being a member of Motorcycle Bloggers International, we wanted to pass on this PSA about the upcoming Riders Choice Awards. If you are a fellow rider, we encourage you to follow the link and enter your own nominations.

Thanks!

=============================================== Riders Choice Awards – nominations are now open Are you tired of awards handed out by industry insiders? We are. Motorcycle Bloggers International (an association of, you guessed it, riders who blog about motorcycling) decided it was time that the riding public have a chance to express their opinions. So we created the Riders Choice awards. This is your opportunity to nominate and vote for your choices for the best and worst in the motorcycling world for 2006. There are various categories for events, actions by a person or group and new products. Some examples:

• A rider’s dream – The dream ride, tour or event that given enough time and money you most want to experience.

• Object of lust – The production motorcycle of any model year that is desired above all others.

• Thumbs up – The person or organization who during 2006, made the most significant contribution to motorcycling.

• Best new in 2006 every day motorcycle – The production motorcycle most suited to commuting that was first delivered to dealers in 2006.

• What were they thinking? – The new in 2006 concept or production motorcycle, related product or other idea that is the worst idea of 2006.

Head on over to www.mbiweb.org to see all the categories, view nominations already entered and submit your nominations. Join us in letting the industry know what we, the riders, think. While you are there, sign up for an email reminder notice that will be sent when voting for the awards begins in February. Help us make this awards program a success. Nominate and vote. ===============================================
