Can't believe any of those beauties sat still long enough to get photos taken.  Well done gentlemen.   Gonna take a few days to figure this one out.

Yup.....9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, maybe...

Yup.  But I find that most of the members are actually quite self disciplined.  Hah, did I just type that?!?!?!

I was wondering if I should just ignore it or edit it.  I mean, it wasn't really bad at all but that bike owner is sure getting a ribbing in that other thread.

I thought it was funny adding that image, I just wasn't sure what to do.  This sub-forum is very clean and controlled (by the members of course :) )  Since I rarely get any issues, I am still figuring out what to do, lol.

hey xtof!

  I second specweld's little yellow 400. Saw this bike at the Ramsey sprint in the Isle of Man! Sounds bloody awesome goes like a rocket, won its class easily and even bettered the 750cc class times.
She goes better than she looks and she looks magnificent. A credit to the owner/rider.

Done.  Nominations have closed.

Voting Thread - http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=101060.0

Maybe xtof will be back next next month.  I hope so, that is a nice bike.  To bad it will not be voted on with this bunch, this to me it is a perfect month for it.

Hey BSA Graham, can those pics be posted in the Voting Thread?  Much better in that thread instead of this one as this Nomination Thread will very soon be forgotten about.
