No need to nominate guys, it's all done for you, this is Bike of the Year, all you have to do is vote.

Thought a few of the months were to tough to choose from, but 1 from 11!?!? Diabolical!

Absolutely brilliant bikes, of all of them. Well done guys!

Wasn't blaming you Sam, just trying to help sort it out, we all appreciate you keeping tabs and things going each month. Making tough choices among outstanding projects is a good problem to have ;) and we have you and Justin to thank for that. Besides, I was all for the K1 GT as well, but figured I get the F2 in its place anyway.

Besides the rules, what's preventing the K1 GT from being choicee #12??  ;D

That's what I mean about my brain, it does its own thing at times, I knew the bikes name but my brain made me put in the one that IT (and me) liked. hahahaha
I know you weren't blaming me, I really do thank you for noticing it and keeping me on my toes, would you like to come and live with me. hahahahaha.
