Is it bad that I feel I must justify my choice?

FunJimmy's bike is just AWESOME-KICK-ASS!!! I love the work, the styling, the engineering, the whole bike. It is just an awesome little cafe job.


markb's Stocker is just so cool, too. My dad and I have a project of a 1932 Studebaker that we pulled out of the woods. The plan was for a hotrod but we were starting to feel bad about hotroding it out because it was actually in pretty nice shape. We started feeling better when we found little things that would have impeded a restoration - so I have a great respect for the classics.


Johnny5's
The etching in and of itself almost does it for me. Once again, just nice and clean and styled just right. I'm building a 750 myself, so there's a little bit of a soft spot here, too.


Aussie:
I own a Ducati. I love the Paul Smart tribute. I love this bike. Don't know that I particularly care for the dash but that would be about the only thing I don't like here.


BobbyMagee:
As you all know I am a cafe guy. I find choppers to be a bit overdone and, quite frankly, getting to be common place. You don't see a cafed bike everywhere you go, but there is bound to a chopper/bobber somewhere around. WITH THAT SAID, I can still appreciate great work, which is what this little chopper represents. This is a sweet, clean, elegant little hard tail and you can tell that it is quality work. Well done, Bobby. This is one chopper that I would not mind having in my garage.



So after thinking all that, I just couldn't decide, so I asked my wife. She said, "I like the Green one."
And that is how Markb got my vote.

By the way, if the four who do not win this month's contest do not get nominated by someone else, look for my nomination. I only dream that my bike will come out looking as nice when I am done with it.

Yep.  Notice how you're a moderator in the BOTM threads?  I think that happened when you took over when hef went AWOL a couple months ago.  Since hef's gone, you're the sole moderator for BOTM.

This is my resignation from being a moderator for BOTM.  It is yours Heff, carry on with it.

Steve, please remove my Moderator status.  I won't want this back.



Remember this statement a while back?  Interesting, I just noticed I said that on my birthday, lol.

Oh yea, under my screen name....

Thank you everyone for your support and votes.
It’s a great honor to win BOTM, especially on Canada's 142nd birthday.

All the bikes entered in this month’s BOTM contest are winners in my mind. Congratulations to you all.

Cheers
Jimmy

Of course I don't mind, I'm flattered.  Now I'm really excited about getting the sandcast put back together.  It wasn't bad before but I'm shooting for it to look even better than the K0.  Unfortunately that will probably have to wait til fall.  I spend the summers doing as much fishing and boating as I can.

Mark

Your 750 is one of the nicest SOHC4 bikes I've ever seen.
A real stunner, but to top it with the next build seems like an impossibility.

Good luck.
Can't wait to see how awesome the sandcast will be.

Congrats again and thanks for the compliment.  I wish I would have taken pictures of the K0 during the restore.  It was totally apart.  I'll have to take some of the sandcast and post them only this won't be as big a project.  But I learned a lot with the KO so I hope it will be at least as nice.  Couldn't have done it without you guys on the forum.
