So, I guess there will be no vote and just a WIN for January 2015 to SohRon!

I'll keep it open for a little longer to give someone a chance to tell us where we can find a picture of DWS's bike.
We can't vote on a bike if we don't have pictures.

Duane, BOTM has been running for quite a few years with just the odd hick up every now and then.
Occasionally someone comes along that don't understand the format and all hell breaks loose.
In your case, and I'm not calling you, members get involved and start throwing in their own ideas which then just adds to the confusion as it has done in your case this month.
Between now and 2015, I'm going to sit down and re-write the rules so that every one understands how it's run, how and what can be nominated and how and when to vote.
There is from time to time friendly banter going on in the posts that can also confuse people, I will do my best to stop this and if necessary delete the post/posts.
Don't worry my friend, you will have the chance to read the rules, as will all members and then hopefully someone will nominate your bike when it is finished.
Have a nice Christmas my friend.

Sam. :)

OK guys, please note that there is now an open chat thread where you can have your say on anything.
Please use it instead of posting in the Nominations and voting threads.
This thread will now be locked and restarted with the one nominee being transferred to it to start the year of 2015 off where nominations for January will run until the 15th of the month before the starting the voting thread.
