       I'd like to nominate Doug's 550 (doug_id) but I've got a PM to him to see if he thinks his bike is ready or not? Like has been said before, there are so many bikes deserving of the BOTM win. :o I'll get back to you all, as soon as I know whether or not his bike is ready.

                                                       Later on, Bill :) ;)

         Yeah, I agree, Doug's build was one that made you feel involved and his "Can Do" attitude about it was really something. Problems popped up and he just kept right on going. His Bike is a result of his determination. I hope I have the same outlook, when I get to get back to my 550 project. :-\

                                                        Later on, Bill :) ;)

I also praise Doug for his determination and for the end result but one thing to consider......it sure helps having a money tree because these parts cost bucks!!!! I have felt the pinch more than once.

               My problem is, I don't even have a "Money Bush", much less a tree. :(   Now, I do have the "Wants" that it would take a "Money Forrest" to handle. ;D ::) I know. Don't we all. ::)
