I already have my vote locked in (literally

) But I know in the past theres been times where I went back and changed it. Not a big deal or anything I'm happy with my vote. But didn't we have this option in the past?

I know the option is there but to answer your question, I dunno.

Yes we did offer that in the past.
However, there were a few cases of "tactical" voting as once you have voted you can see the result of the poll so far. So we turned it off.

I agree, Great selection of bikes, which means a Tough Choice as well!

Now,that being said (like others before me), I WILL have to say that there WAS one that Literally JUMPED out at me..........and I quickly voted for that Lil' Machine!

Task DONE and I can move on to other things.

Just voted. Thanks for the $20!

I haven't had this much trouble voting since Jack Kennedy ran against Dick Nixon back in '60.

And I thought bgfootball looked different in his build thread...his hair seems longer in this pic.

Enough. I have made a decision. Check with the exit pollsters if you want to know how I voted...

You guys need to spice things up a bit with pics n stuff. Take my word for it, I can see the vote counts.

Ecosse · « **Reply #33 on:** July 20, 2009, 09:10:22 PM »

i already pestered ttr for those new pix he mentioned with his new silencer mounted. that bike is so well engineered (imo) and clean that i wish i had better shots of it.

I went for greenjeans cause it's got this kinda of steve mcqueen vibe going.

Ecosse · « **Reply #35 on:** July 21, 2009, 10:52:04 AM »

i saw an interview with chad mcqueen were he said his dad's favorite bike was the 400f.

really liked the color black too.

I'm in the process of trying to create something like these elegantly engineered bikes. I vote for the cool freezer, it looks like if you were riding it you'd be hunkered down out of the wind.
1st post, hopefully not the last.

Ecosse · « **Reply #37 on:** July 21, 2009, 11:08:55 AM »

hey chips welcome to the community! you couldn't choose a better forum... imo. but then i have impeccable taste. seriously, welcome aboard.

johnspeck · « **Reply #38 on:** July 21, 2009, 11:42:11 AM »

really great bikes. i gotta go with greenjeans. bgfootball's is a close second, but it's a close one with all the nominees. there are things i really like in everyone's builds.

Bonafide · « **Reply #39 on:** July 21, 2009, 03:18:16 PM »

Considering the company of bikes - I must say I very much appreciate the nomination! That said, I wouldnt mind if I was to finish in last place - I'd still be smiling stupid. Being able to ride the piss out of mine thru the North GA mountains once a week is all I'll ever need - each ride is good for 250-300 miles of pure nirvana. YEAH, Come ON!

Crappy pocket camera pics from today ... but better than nothing.

Ecosse · « **Reply #40 on:** July 21, 2009, 03:58:43 PM »

man i really like your bike 'fide. stealthy slick.

eh hem... another slick, and unique, bike.

Ryan 550k · « **Reply #41 on:** July 21, 2009, 04:34:19 PM »

Nice work EVERYONE! I went with Freezingprocess though. I just can't stop starring at it......it's so damn pretty!

sangyo soichiro · « **Reply #42 on:** July 21, 2009, 04:38:18 PM »

This was a difficult month! Sheesh! Finally decided though.

Ecosse · « **Reply #43 on:** July 21, 2009, 04:49:12 PM »

what's the tooth count on freezing's rear (and front for that matter) sprocket?!

freezingprocess · « **Reply #44 on:** July 21, 2009, 09:51:07 PM »

Ok- Here are a few more pics....I am humbled to be amongst this group of slick looking bikes. Although I'm obviously partial to the BCR's, I may have to vote for one of the nons...

Oh, and my rear sprocket has 37 teeth.

I just re-mounted the tach a few weeks ago. I sunk it lower into the top tree...

What's hiding under my seat......(BTW, I fabricated the fiberglass seat section, along with the seat pan and upholstery myself. I feel weird hyping it, but it took so long to get right, and I'm just kinda proud of it)

Ecosse · « **Reply #45 on:** July 21, 2009, 09:58:13 PM »

it's a sign of character to be self conscious about self hype. btw: i like your tail light as well as, well... everything else!

if that was my build i'd be proud as h#ll.

Ecosse · « **Reply #46 on:** July 21, 2009, 10:09:00 PM »

nice pix freeze!

37 teeth, isn't that stock? i'll have to go out to mine because for some reason your rear (sprocket) looked small to me.

SteveD CB500F · « **Reply #47 on:** July 22, 2009, 02:12:51 AM »

Any story with the Phil Read Replica helmet Bonafide?

Asking because I run Phil's website www.philread.org and always approach anyone I see wearing one!

PS: you should see the baseball caps in the same design!

Yeah, let me know what you have....You're not the first to ask about that sprocket, and it does look significantly smaller than most others I see....

-Just finally put my vote in. I've been staring at them all for days, but Greenjeans' machine had my heart from the beginning.

Good luck everyone!!!

Oh, by the way bonafide- I'm jealous of your brakes.

1. It's a Vector so it fits my head. Yeah!
2. It's freaking cool looking. Soon as I saw it - had to have it
3. Not everyone wanted to be Mike Hailwood.

It's actually my 2nd PR replica. I replaced my first one after grinding it on the pavement during a low side last year.

PS. It matches my garage full of cafe'd Bonnevilles.
