Hoosier Hooligans bike challenge

[Desmocrat]

I tend to agree with sTD.  Why not take advantage of the club name and promote in that way.  It sounds like a great advertising op.  People will remember where a prize for the best Hooligan machine came from in this way.  I would not give a cheezy prize though.  Perhaps a gift certificate to Indy Ducati for a full service (up say to $750), I know that this is a lot, but you will be in full view of somewhere around 250K bike fans; don't come off as cheap.  Another way around this is to get a signed helmet by Stoner/Hayden/Haga or some of the other factory riders (or ex-riders like a signed Bayliss Helmet) so that the eye-candy prize is on display for the weekend, like the Corse guitar was last year.

Don't worry Grubby, you're still waaay in the running.  Hooligan means that battle scars count!

Yea, I am with Prem. But I think a "bad-ass" trophy would be way cooler than a gift certificate. I envision some thing with the base being a scuffed up helmet, hooligan emblem plazma cut out of a chunk of plate, somethting on top (?) and maybe a broken chain wrapped around the whole thing. And Grubby, you have a true hooligan bike , it would not even be fair to put you up against any one else!!!!
