Feel free to nominate my bike in this spirit. My bike rides nice, but is no show piece. You could say things like 'no no, that Tretnine needs to stop oil from leaking out of his motorcycle and such before he's actually considered.'

Benjie has a 3/5, or 60% chance of winning this month.  And he's not even in the competition.   :D

I have spent more time trying to fully understand and decide on my vote for these bikes than any previous political election in my life. Good thing? Probably.

This is the first month that I have been stumped! Not that they are better or worse but one just doesnt jump out at me above the others...they are all very nice! We need a hardtail bobber in the mix to make my choice easier  ;)

Hell in a bucket. They're all lousy with one-off excellence.

Greenjeans just for the wheel swap - nevermind the paint and badges
FreezingProcess for the minimalist see-thru goodness - love that
ttr400 - well, just look at it - so tricked out I'm not sure where to start
bgfootball67 - you magnificent bastard! I read your build thread!

But Bonafide had me at hello. Sooo... Bonafide.

 :D :D you sir are a poet.

this isn't the first time i've nominated a bike (in this case ttr's flawless 400f jps) thinking "go on folks, match that!"  now i'm thinking "stop making it so darn hard!"

Otherwise; what a fine-looking collection of bikes.
