Thanks to everybody who took part in this poll.

I feel bloody humbled by all of this.

Any one of the bikes in the gallery could have, should have won.

Whether it's stock, rebuilt, chopped, cafe'd, whatever, it's your damn bike.

I have pasted the quote below out of Chris Listons post about the wave. It's a bit florid and 'wankey' but hell, I see truth in it.

"There are the riders who park their bikes, begin to walk away and then stop. They turn and took back. They see something when they look at their bikes that you might not. Something more complex, something that is almost secret, sensed rather than known. They see their passion. They see a part of themselves"

       Toycollector, Way to go, You've got a great looking bike and an honor well deserved. Nothing wrong with the others for sure, just glad I didn't have to pick.  Later on, Bill

Now I'm all choked up at work.  Best crack a beer when I get home and look at the bike while I sip.
