It's not REALLY going that strong my friend, plenty people voting but getting nominations is hard going.
A few months back we had one bike on its own but the bike and the owners circumstances made it worthy of not being denied the win.
And then we had a month with just two nominated bikes from the same owner, it proved a hard one to bet on. ;D ;D ;D ;D
Nice to see you still looking in.

Thanks guys for the consideration! Mine is a stocker 73 with reasonably fresh paint but original otherwise as far as I can tell. Bill rode it and didn't die so I guess it's all right... ::) I know I like it. 8)

I'm not sure if there are any more newly completed bikes.  Any blasts from the past we can consider.
