Nomination thread for Bike of the Month - March 2014.
« on: January 16, 2014, 07:58:31 am »
I'm starting the March nomination thread early as it seems 15 days was not long enough for members to submit their chosen nominees for the February competition.
Congratulations to Neal Chamberlain on his unopposed win, after reading all about Neal's build, I think he would have won it anyway, there's no stopping Neal. Well done.  8)

Right you lot, fingers out and get nominating. ::)

Holy freakin' smokes!  Seconded!!  Wow.  Thanks guys.  I am truly, truly honored.  I just realized that this bike has been about a six year odyssey -- with a three-year hiatus stuck in the middle.  I am so happy to have gotten her to this point.

I'm definitely IN to accept.   ;D ;D ;D  Many thanks.
