What a group of classic beauties.

All very nice and I thought it might be a tough one but not to difficult after seeing them here Don.

My vote's in.

Sam.

I've "known" Vern and Pandora since the first relay in 2011, so it was an easy choice for me.

Scott, I thought I knew that name from somewhere but with my messed up memory, it was difficult.
I think I met Vern on that first relay, probably at Rockingham NC.

I make a motion to call it aug, sept, oct, nov, bikes of the months. OK My motion is out of order. Wow.

All are extremely nice bikes that I would be proud to own.

Voted...

1 day left to vote and only a 1 vote gap!!

SOHC4 Cafe Racer Fan · « **Reply #10 on:** August 01, 2020, 12:58:14 AM »

Congratulations, Vern on a closely-contested and well-deserved W.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #11 on:** August 01, 2020, 03:22:38 PM »

I thought this one was going to be close all the way but Vern was in front by a few votes all the way, only at the end did it get close.
Congrats all and Vern for coming out on top.

Sam.

. Thank you all for your votes, I can’t believe I won because I saw a few that were definitely better than Pandora. Maybe it was her glamour shot that swayed the vote ?

The glamour shot is what got her the nomination.

The vote was more swayed by the history, at least for me. IIRC, she was acting up before the relay, (which was later found to be a failed Dyna S??) so you took your wife's car as a support vehicle, and the water pump failed!??

. You have a great memory, yes that damn Dyna, I’ll never have another one in her, she will only run on points as long as I’m alive! I thought that shot of her was pretty nice I have to admit, thanks for your support!

Sam.

Vern, I had an idea that we might have met at Bills but I also thought we might have met at Rockingham on the first relay, was this the case also ?

Did we actually meet twice ?

Sam.
