Remeber back when they had that contest to win a Buell City-X for playing the Craig Jones Stoppie game? Well I got an email from Buell on Friday saying I was one of the finalist to win the bike. Turns out they had a number of people tie for the high score on the game. I was just wondering if anyone else got the email?

If you win you have to go to Oxford in the UK to cliam your prize.

I don't remember. But if I were to win, Ihave no idea how I would get to England to claim the prize? Now wouldn't that suck?

The promotion was put on by Buell UK. I played the game and recorded my score just for fun... who would have thought I would end up a finalist?

To get to England, you would probably want to look into flying. Or send me. I'll go. I even promise not to ride the bike ALL the way back.

Actually my biggest problem would be that I don't have a passport. It takes two weeks to get in a rush order and that would not be enough time. Round trip airfare is $607 which I would pay.

Think you bring a XB9 back as a carry on?

Heh! I couldn't even figure out the controls.
I didn't know there was a PRIZE!!
I would have tried more than twice if I knew there was something to be gained.

I would probably try to pass it off as my seeing eye dog or maybe a wheelchair before I tried to stuff it in the overhead bin.

Damn, I wish I knew about this before. Just tried it and got a best of 886.889 feet! IT's like 7 feet shy of the world record. Now in the really world, I would be happy with an 8.8 inch stoppie.

Koz, We could collect it for you and store it here until you can arrange shipping from here to the US.
Alternatively we could collect it, keep it here and run it for you, and just send you the occasional photograph and monthly reports on how good it is ; )

Matt, That would be cool. How about if I were to win maybe you could bolt a few goodies on for me before I have it shipped over?

Way I see it, I will mail you my drivers license and then you could just wear a full face helmet with a dark shield the whole time you are there! I will also send you a pit crew shirt I had personally signed by Erik 2 years ago. That should be proof enough. I don't think they will catch on. You are 6'3" tall and about 235 lbs right?
