Now on 145 guys, you're doing a grand job. 8) 8) 8)

Brian, the highest number I have found in just over a year was 168 (Bike of the Year 2011)

With just a few days to go, here are the percentage of votes.
One member is running away with it with 62.4%.
The other two are still neck and neck with 19.1 and 18.5%, that relates to just one vote.
Help these two guys out people, they need your votes...all you have to do is figure out which ones they are. ;D
All three are really nice, I didn't think there would be a run away winner. :o

Over the years, the Bike of the Month competition has nearly shut down a few times due to problems where members have given grief to the people running it.
In order to keep it alive, I took over the running of it at the beginning of this month and going off the number of people voting for just three bikes, It's plain to see that there are still members out there that support this competition.
I was asked the other day, what was the record number of voters that had voted in a single month.
I trawled through all the threads and found that in April 2010 that there were 167 votes for that month.
With 165 votes already in this month, I'm sure we will have a new record with all thanks going to you people that have voted. 8)
Let's start thinking about next month, start looking for bikes that you would like to nominate.
