Congratulations Paul! Cafe's Rule.

What an amazing build, worthy of “Bike of the Year” without exception.
It's been my inspiration right from the start.

Thanks to everyone that voted for my bike. 
It's an honor to receive your support.

Cheers
Jimmy

Congratulations Paul.  It's amazing how much detail goes into these projects.  Wish I could see that bike (or any of the others) in person. 

Thanks for letting me play too.

Congrats Paul.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

Yes, congrats to you Paul for a job well done.  Spikey a close 2nd which made for an interesting thread.  I was humbled to be in the running for BOTY.  Nice job to all the guys - just beautiful bikes here.

Well done Paul, big congrats sir.

Although I voted for FunJimmy, the top four scoring bikes were all on my short list.

What realy made it hard for me is the fact that I voted for all the winning bikes throughout the year with the exception of one.

Well done mate, King of the castle ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
