        Okay, here goes:

        I like hym's fairing, the color, the seat and the look in general.

        I like the way Hopterfixer's bike looks, with the slight Cafe appearance. Very nice blend there.

        I really like the green of todd's bike (along with that offset racing stripe), along with the slight Cafe appearance also. But THAT color! 8)

        I have never seen a Black CB350F and okie's 350F is just totally sharp and something to see.

        Andy's 750 is a sight to behold and that gas tank just sets it off! ;)

        tsflstb's 400F looks like it's made to go from point "A" to point "B" quickly and Look good while doing it! ;)

        Now, all that being said, I have to actually make a choice and vote for just ONE??????????  ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

                I'm In BIG trouble!!!!!! Uh Huh, Uh huh! :(

This has to be the closest yet(?)

Seems a shame to "waste" them all in one month. How about a rerun for August Heff?

BTW: I voted for Toddcamps' (currently running a gallant 6th...   ???)

Can the voting window be adjusted so voting ends at midnight instead of 3:30pm East Coast time?  Yes, I realize there are members all over the globe, but the majority are still in the U.S. 

Okay, I don't know that for a fact, but it's probably true...

okie... you were in the lead ever since i cast the very first vote ;)

the shocker for me is how close the race was the entire time... i don't think the leaders ever had more than 2 or 3 between them.

congrats oak!

Amazing.
This was my first time voting.  And, I actually voted for the well deserved winner.  This never happens to me.
And, I can actually say my vote made a difference!  This never happens to me either!

Now, I have to say, it wasn't an easy choice for my vote.  I was able to pare down to three, after some deliberation.  Choosing amongst those last three was very nit picky...even for me.

Winner by 22.2 percent of the votes.  Now THAT's popularity!  ;D

I know how hard it is to restore and keep a clean stock looking machine going (especially the smaller fours) - that's why mine isn't stock.  Congratulations.

Well...  Let's just work on remembering to set up the nominating/voting threads in the first place, and then we'll start working on the time they get set at, so I'll retract my suggestion. :P ;D ;D

Well done Okie... glad I nominated you now!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I was convinced Hymodyne would get it. If it wasn't for Okies I'd have voted for the beautiful fairing!

Goes to show that the 350's are a natural thing of beauty.

Hey Okie! 

Your name (brought up by your botm win) reminded me of a picture I have of my best friend and me standing outside of Okie's in Muskogee, taken almost ten years ago by a girl (just a friend then) who is now my wife, on our way from Austin, TX to a concert in Bonner Springs, KS.

Wow!!!  I am overwhelmed at the result.  This months bikes are the toughest choice I have seen.  I'm in St. Augustine, Florida on vacation, but when I get home, I'm gonna' take that little bike out on the town. ;D ;D  Thanks for the votes and comments. 8)

        Like I said in my previous post, ALL the bikes had things about them that really got my attention and I'd like to have voted for all, but we know you can't do that! ::) They were ALL winners. But there was just something about okie's 350F that stood out and that why I voted for it. Other than your 350F okie, I'm not sure who I would have voted for. :( 

        Anyway, Congratulations to you and your bike on the win! 8) ;)
