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.

Me too.  That guy rocks!

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.

It's not in the running yet. Charlie's bike needs a second.

Thanks for the nomination and comments, 2nd, etc. Of course, it goes without saying that I humbly accept the nomination.
A good bike mechanic only needs two tools, WD40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move, but should, use the WD40. If it does move but shouldn't use the duct tape.

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...

i think that makes it 5 or 6 times that he's been in the running!  i thought for sure when that monster tail section came of it was a done deal.
