Lots of good projects here. Tough decision.

[algophobe]

will there be a calendar this year? i seem to always miss the opportunity to buy one.

[Don R]

 I have to say, it was an honor for the Nugget to be considered with these fine machines. The craftsmanship of the race bikes is amazing. The finish of the street bikes is something to see too, I'd be proud to own any of them.

Yes, I plan to put one together next month [December]

 Congrats James! The Police bike build thread was fun to follow along. 

[SOHC4 Cafe Racer Fan]

We all got stopped by the cops.  Congratulations, James.  That bike was amazing and in very excellent company!

[WideAWAKE]

Congrats to the police bike

It was a clear winner in my mind. Absolute stunner!

[Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er]

Congratulations to James and everyone. Such a unique bike and a fabulous restoration

[JamesH]

Holy #$%*. Wow, I’m floored. Thank you so much to everyone who voted for the PoPo and congratulations to all of the BOTM nominations. I’m very very grateful and genuinely humbled. What an amazing early Christmas present. Thanks everyone.

Going thru this thread makes a mess.

Jeeeees fellas.  Impossible decision.  Really nice work - every single one.   I have it narrowed to 4.  My quarter doesn't have enough sides.
