Looks like the masses have spoken:

Finish date May 31st 2012!
2. No bike allowed unless it's less than half finished! You can start gathering parts and materials now, but assembly and fabrication not allowed until January 1st, 2012.
3. Must be a shot of the bike/parts pile up front with a sign with OldMiniBikes 2012 BBO (Entry Post)!
4. Must be a photo of you riding the bike or a video of the bike running at the end!
5. Must have at least one update by the builder every month! Even if your bike is complete you must post something. This post is due by the 15th of each month!!
6. Finished bike must be a runner.
7. Winner by popular vote - One vote per user
8. Non Starters & Drop Outs will be deleted to avoid clutter. This means if you do not post once per month minimum or make an entry post by 2/15/11 your entry will be deleted. To be clear on this, you must have 1 post in your thread at least once every 30 days. If you go longer than 30 days you will be removed. Constructive feedback is welcome in the threads. However, we will not tolerate bashing or negative comments towards others work. If you do not like something someone is doing then just keep it to yourself. This is not an oppurtunity to begin a flame war.

10. It can have any number of wheels (1,2,3,4 etc.)
11. Flat head, OHV, 2 strokes, pit bike engines, will all be allowed. NO Motorcycle engines.

Just one clarification, "Pit Bike engine". What is the difference between a pit bike engine and a motorcycle engine?
 
#15
pit bike engine, as in a flat engine like the honda crf50 based motors. no motorcycles, we all know what they are, if it came in an OEM mini its allowed.

Bikes that came with pit bike engines are not MINIBIKES ! And no a Honda 50 mini trail is not a minibike. They were the start of ending the real minibikes.
That's like bringing a Yamaha Virago to an all Harley Davidson event,yes it's a motorcycle but it's just not a Harley.
