Moderators Choice - October 2014 Posts

Here is my choice from October 2014's posts to #womoco .  I really like the first photo and the event looked to be such a laugh.

The photo will appear as the header for the +World Motorcyclist  page and the background to our hub - womoco.org.

Nice post +Kevin Hagen .   #modschoice

+GetGeared.co.uk are providing gift tokens for the posts that receive the most +1’s and comments combined.  The prizes are £150 first place, £100 second place and £50 third place.  +GetGeared.co.uk ship internationally so you can all enter. Entries will be judged at 12 noon Monday 4th August.  Good Luck.

Post photos and short videos (60 seconds or less) on My Motorcycle Story Weekend - July 25th, 26th and 27th 2014 showing your history of motorcycles and including the stories associated with them.  You can post as many photos or videos as you like - in fact the more the merrier as we are trying to get the hashtag #MyMotorcycleStory  to trend on Google+ and raise the profile and image of motorcycling here.

New to motorcycling?  That’s great because we want to hear your story of why you started riding too.  We would love to see every motorcyclist on Google+ and elsewhere posting at least one story over that weekend.  It is important to include the hashtag#MyMotorcycleStory  so that we can find your posts.

If you're out on the weekend of July 25th, 26th and 27th and you see a bike like one you used to own why not take a photo of it and ask the owner how they got started?  Let’s use our online motorcycle social networking to add to our real life social networking.

The hashtag #MyMotorcycleStory  should first be used on July 25th 2014 if this campaign is to be successful. Please don't use it before this date, thank you.
