Unfortunately, Shortround never accepted his nomination.  So the poll will only be between Andy and Ivor's bikes, starting tomorrow.

Thems the rules.

See Rule #3: "A nomination must be made, seconded and accepted within the allotted timeframe (if you do not accept a seconded nomination by the 15th of the month, you/your bike will not be included in the contest for Bike of the month)"
