         Just wondered if we'd come this far with the BOTM, just to let it die out? ??? I KNOW we haven't run out of bikes. ::) Looks like we ARE running out of Interest!

                      This is just an observation! :-X

I really hope not!

For Feburary I nominate the spikeybike!

That bike is just WAY to cool not to win a BOTM!

Cafe bikes are awesome too.
I'm building one and so are half the members of this site, but come on gang, just take a close look at the creative effort, blood sweat and tears that went into the Spikeybike.

With all due respect to the last two winners, how could you not vote for Spikeybike?

Now get to your keyboards and nominate.

Here, Here!! Especially with that new seat, which was most peoples' complaint, Spkieybike can't loose now.  ;D  I just love that bike.

As for BOTM, I agree, we just need a nomination thread. Lets keep this ball rolling.

         Might as well say that it's the 12th of Jan, we've got til the 16th and we're supposed to start voting. Only thing is, WE DON'T HAVE A NOMINATION THREAD!!!!!!! HELLO!!!!!!! Seems like "What We Have Here Is A Failure To Communicate!" I know that that is an old line from "Cool Hand Luke" with Paul Newman,It just seemed appropriate here.

                                     Later on, Bill :) ;)

I guess KB02's "Here here" is a second on Spikeybike's nomination. 

And Spikey's "Wow" as an acceptance.

Now we need Paul to accept and we'll have a contest.

          I hate to tell you two this, but Doug's bike has already been there and done that. I don't remember the month though. Sorry guys, nice try though.  And definitely a cool bike!

                                  Later on, Bill :) ;)

           Update: It was May 2007 that Doug won the title. You guys picked a winner all right, only it had already won. ;)
