Thanks - I accept.  The bike is currently undergoing a complete rebuild.  Should be back on the track within a month.  Can I qualify for the October contest then?  :)

I'll second that one.

Even though last month I nominated Andy's very nice cafe, I voted for CharlieT's bike. That get's my nomination for this month.

Thanks again.  I might stand a chance if all these nice bikes weren't falling out of trees lately.

I can't even vote for myself with Charlie's bike in the running.

Thanks for the nomination and comments, 2nd, etc. Of course, it goes without saying that I humbly accept the nomination.

Thanks for the nominations guys, I gladly accept!  I have just been having a ball riding her around town here... 

Hopterfixer, I am just sorry I did not have more gas so I would have been able to hang out with you guys for a while.  I guess if I did not run out of gas I would not have seen you though...

Well, had it in another show in a small town near here. Primarily a car show, but they had a category for motorcycles, all inclusive. Took another first place. 2nd and 3rd were a restored, mildly modded old sportster and a blinged out painted up Harley Dresser. The harley goes were po'd they got beat by a little Honda.  hehehehe.

There's a car show like that here every year too. There were three bikes in the show this year. Next year I'll enter mine, even though mine isn't anywhere near as sweet as yours. I have no visions of grandeur - I just think it'll be fun.

Well, this is what happened to my stock KO this past weekend at a WI Show.  I was very appreciative of the 1st place People's Choice and then surprised at 1st place in the Japanese Judging category.  Like I said earlier, I am humbled as there were some fantastic bikes at the show.  You can click on the pic to enlarge.
