My mind's made up.  That bike is just perfect.

I couldnt find the dyno sheets though.

Thats a great pull for a 550.  Thanks for posting the dyno sheet!  I hope to get mine up on one someday.  After the vm29s and the Rc distributor, it should be pretty stout.

As for the shaggy hippie hair.  Mines gone too, but maybe this will make Mlinders choice even harder.




HIPPIE ALERT!!!!! I think we should both win and go pick flowers instead!

OK I've got this figured, I'll need a few hours track time on Paulages mint racer then a city to city run on that georgeous 750 chopper of Turbogrimace's, that should just about sort me out for my vote. ;D
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

Finally made my vote.  That was the hardest one for me yet.  Both bikes are outstanding!

I owned a HD chopper in the past for two weeks, I was about 16.  I could not get rid of it fast enough but I would own TG's for a bit longer than that.  ;D

I'm not surprised by the margin.  Paulages bike is absolute top notch.  I was actually going to see if I could change my vote and vote for his bike after he posted up all the other pictures.   Congrats man!

Someday another chopper will be added to the ranks of the BOTM.  Someday.

I would like to echo Bills surprise, I never would have thought that there were not enough chopper fans to help out TG, his bike would be a show winner anywhere.
