Congratulations, HondaAddict! That was a close one, as both bikes were worthy competition.  At times the vote was even and both bikes traded the lead multiple times.

This is awesome! Thanks everyone!

I'm surprised it was close, as Oette has put so much creativity into his bike. I admire and respect how people can make something so nice without a blueprint to follow.

I'll be in three different countries today, but I'll be cracking a beer to celebrate when I get to my hotel this evening!

Congratulations to both of you, like Don said, the lead was swapping forwards and backwards all the way with never more than 3 votes in it.
Just to be nominated in the first place is something of an accolade.
Well done to both of you.

Sam.  ;)
