There is a lot of really nice work you have put into that bike. Plenty of detail too. AND, you brought it back from its near demise.

Very well done.

I wonder how many here would have done what you did.

i just read the thread in your signiture about the fire, ... impressive most definetly . i didn't realize that the bike wasn't a joke, it seems you really know your stuff. i still think it looks like a girls bike tho

ok i'm really not sure if thats a retraction or another insult

Quote from: FattyMcButterPants on January 27, 2009, 10:55:16 AM

i would like some details on the notched frame, i have had a hard time getting pods that fit on my bike

now you want help!!! and your question would be best answered by me .. talk about "instant karmic retrobution" .... you know what , start a new thread . i'll be the bigger man and walk you through it

Wow, that was hard. I finally picked one but there isn't one in the bunch I wouldn't love to have myself.

Excellent work, all of you. It just amazes me how many different ways one can go with these bikes.

Some people just don't apreciate fine art, it's idiots like that, who look at a Van Gogh and say my kid could do that.

Congrats on the win.

Oops I didnt realize voting is not over!

Sorry everyone.

WHOA!!!! i was so up in arms over Mr.butterpants i didn't even notice i was winning
i soooo honored to make it this far , all of the bikes here are deserving of the honor.

as far as an apoligy, i don't need one. he feels that way,fine . it's nothing i haven't heard before (seriuosly, i get that alot, almost word for word) that's the price you pay sometimes for going against the grain. just never expected to see it here (a harley forum maybe )

i don't expect addmiration from everyone, i DO expect respect on these boards, this is my home , i'm here everyday, this are my family.

don't come in my house and spit on my carpet

some people you just cant change, out on the street , this would get ugly, here at SOHC4, i turn the other cheek (for now)

Awww cmon spikey!!!

You going to the Chicago bike show? We can meet up and scrap a lil in the honda section!!!

Congrats on the "love" for the bike man... I know I voted for you!!

HavocTurbo · « **Reply #32 on:** January 28, 2009, 10:18:59 PM »

Not too bad a drive. Only a little over an hour.

I think we are all going sunday. I'll be getting back from a dealer show on friday night and if I get in late enough saturday will be a bust.

Some awesome bikes were in the running. Good luck spike!

quit jinxing him! he's got until 2/6!

I think "FattyMcButterPants" is a plant to garner last minute 'circle the wagons' kind of support for Spikey; thus and ergo a decisive and crushing victory.

Touché Spikey.

Word is already out Oliver Stone bought the movie rights... but I don't like to spread gossip.

syth82 · « **Reply #36 on:** January 29, 2009, 06:16:17 PM »

Oh crap! I was thinking that it was over because I could see the results when I checked out the thread! Didn't occur to me that I had already voted a few days ago... Doh!!!! Sorry

Really? · « **Reply #37 on:** January 29, 2009, 06:16:52 PM »

THought I would add this for Ecosse. This is the bike I am currently running on Motorcycle Madness.

in the event my mental illness has thus far gone unnoticed when i first heard of this company i actually emailed them to see if maybe the founder was of scottish heritage. otherwise i would insist a change in name. the kind lady who responded assured me that in fact he was. seriously, they were very nice and even invited me to consider a purchase. yeah, i thought it funny too.

this btw is a very exciting bike and hope they do build it. haven't heard the latest so maybe it's a yes to that.

I almost posted similar to this but just couldn't pull the trigger.

Exept the rear fender and the muffler. And the muffler bracket.

You're gonna love the brand new chrome Kerker magaphone with 1 1/2" baffle that I just found and there are tabs welded to the frame to eliminate the tacky muffler bracket clamps.

I didn't realise that the votes were visible - normally they are hidden until the poll ends.

Oh well, my bad, too late to change it now.

FunJimmy · « **Reply #43 on:** January 30, 2009, 01:05:01 AM »

Are they visable to everybody?
Or just those who choose to vote?

syth82 · « **Reply #44 on:** January 30, 2009, 06:03:11 AM »

Just when you vote, which is why I'm such a bonehead for thinking its over.

although i did find it odd that he would create an account , insult me the next day, then dissappear ?

god damn there is just too much drama around this bike, i'm gonna go call Oliver

Soos · « **Reply #46 on:** January 30, 2009, 07:56:27 AM »

The mods(system admin here?) should be able to see if his account was created on the same IP as a current user.

Doesn't matter IMO, it's a nice bike spikey, as are all of them.
They wouldn't have made it into the list of monthly winners last year if not.

Steve, hasn't always been that way? I have seen it before but maybe it was on other polls.

SteveD CB500F · « **Reply #48 on:** January 30, 2009, 09:06:01 AM »

A few answers:

1. I can check IP addresses but only one at a time! I don't fancy surfing all the members to check a match.

2. There are various options for polls. You can show all results, show results after a vote, show only at end, allow voters to change vote etc etc. It's quite a package!

3. Butterpants' email is interesting. Go look at his profile...
