I'm a huge fan of my fellow BOTM winners. What an honor to be grouped with such amazing craftsmanship as Tige, Seth, Bill, Branden, et al. Very inspiring builds gents!

I get that you were chiding, but in reality, there's not a "last place" bike on there since all of them had already been voted BOTM. Just not "this" month is the proper perspective  ;D

FWIW, I voted for yours in the month you ran. Hugely impressed with the bike.

Thank you for understanding that I was just joking.  Yes, I'm very proud to've had my bike as a BOTM, (thanks for your vote for that) and included in this group of beautiful and worthy bikes.  Tige's overall BOTY win is so deserved.  I'm also proud knowing that I had a small hand in that bike after painting it for him.

The paint had to be the straw that broke the camels back! Yep, some very wonderful collection of bikes of all genres. A real treat to see them all.

Thanks to all who voted, too bad only one could win.  Such amazing talent, and vision on this site, its truly inspiring. 
Larry's paint and the engine help from MR (JMR racing) pushed me over the top.  I didn't build this bike alone, I built it with the entire SOHC4 community, thus this is a win for everyone who post here.

Cheers! ;D

Glad to see my vote ended in the winner pile. Too bad my political votes never end up that way. Hahaha

Congratulations to Tweakin's BOTY!  Truly an outstanding build.  The level of finish set a very high bar for all of us.  Honored to be among this great group of enthusiasts.
