Voted. It was a tough decision, but in the end I had to go with a bike that was a real rider with a history. ;)

That was an extremely difficult choice. Every bike is worthy. These bikes would make an amazing 2021 Calendar!

Kudos to Noddy! What started out as a controversial build turned into a member-favorite and a stunning show piece.  I like that the year shaped up well with a drag race bike, some pretty restorations, restomods, a beautiful Rickman and Scott's hippy bike. 

I'm looking forward to 2021 (post-vaccine) when we can get out and get together more, but until then - keep wrenching in your garages this winter!!

Hey Don...I remember that thread as well, was getting real ugly in the beginning, would have chased off anyone with thin skin, but he just plugged away and showed us his vision.
Guys just did not like the term "Steampunk" for a SOHC?! 
I had no doubt he would take the BOTY.
Congrats to Noddy...

Not my sort of bike and it had nothing to do with the black rims  ;D ;D ;D  but well done Noddy.

I was a little shocked that that lovely little 350 four got no votes but that's BOTY for you, well done everyone.

Sam.  ;)
