2009 BOTY Thread - http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=61174.0 

I will let this run until 12/26/09 and then start the voting thread.

There are some good new ones that popped up recently.  I'll make a suggestion, Venturous's Side-car 750.

What do you mean by finished, lol.  But, it looks finished enough unless I missed something.

I vote for an all bobber month.  We have enough bobbers I think to have a pretty good competition, and with the mixed-bag BOTMs we've been having, I suspect more times than not people just vote for the bike that's most in their niche.  I'm not suggesting we do this all the time, but a couple themed competitions might be interesting for a change.

Hi Soichiro, that is a great idea, although those bikes have already had a go at bike of the month so maybe we should nominate the new bike first and later on have a Bobber of the month.....Love it.. So if its OK i would like to nominate cqyqte's bike.

my bike is in pieces right now getting ready for a front end swap, but I'll accept the nomination  :)
I'm not sure what to do here, I'm busy looking at the inspiration gallery and hanging out in the SSDB.
   I don't pay enough attention to the BOTM except the winners.
here's some pics of it before I started tearing it down last month.



umm... It's not stock ;D
