[tilted horizons] - Motorcycle Bloggers International Riders Choice Awards 2008

[Ninjette Newsbot]

The Motorcycle Bloggers International "Riders Choice" Awards 2008 for the best and worst motorcycle products and ideas from 2007 have been determined by vote of both the MBI membership, and many non-members who choose to weigh in. I'll give a quick peek, but you should jump over to MBI's awards page for a complete listing that includes the runners-up, and links and photos of the products and things at issue. So, without further ado (was that ado I was a-doin'?): the winners (and losers) are (drumroll):
