This is like the top of one class is up against the top of another class!

It will be interesting to see who gets the win this month.

having only 2 to choose from doesn't make it any easier

Frankenkit · « **Reply #3 on:** February 17, 2010, 12:56:14 am »

Having seen Paul's in person (and hastily wiped my drool off the tank) I had to vote in his favor.

Not an easy choice, never really is though.

I could kick NITROHUNTER in the nuts,

he would have made it just that bit easier for me.

Paulages bike is gorgeous. I feel bad even going up against it for BOTM.

TG, I am not a chopper person but you have an awesome looking bike yourself.

Both of these bikes are top of the line for the class, imho.

Looks like another of those apples vs. oranges months. It's hard to pit two like this against one another, but I guess that's how it goes sometimes. Both represent great work, just very different categories of same. $:-\$

Uh, oops. I guess I missed doing something. In all for me its still an honor to be nominated by the members on here. I do apreciate it. To be included with some of the great bikes is very cool to me. Thanks for the nomination, sorry to disappoint.

Hopefully you will get nominated again. It is a nomination, then a second to the nomination and then you need to accept. Then you are in with a bigger grin and heartburn for 15 days, lol.

Ooof...

Can I vote for both?

Gotta side with TG. You don't see a chopped up 750 like that EVERYday. Especially one with so much massaged and touched like this one.

Ecosse · « **Reply #14 on:** February 17, 2010, 11:39:29 pm »

seriously, i love both of these; i can't wait to see how this pans out!

i'll have to cipher on this a spell.

Some more pictures of my bike here: www.hornbeckerphoto.com/onemotorcycle.

I'll post more here as soon as I can get some uploaded.

WOW! If that gallery doesn't make you want to work on your bike, I don't know what will.

Great craftsmanship/photography!

Turbogrimace · « **Reply #17 on:** February 20, 2010, 06:32:04 pm »

Man! Thats a whole pile of cool bikes. I like the little two stroke yammies!
