There are some mighty fine bikes here this month, all with attention paid to them in different ways but very completely overall. Nostalgia and friendships aside, I'm still trying to decide. Most of the time, I go for which one I would want in my own garage the most. That seems to help me figure it out. Some times I put the pics in b/w and then look again because color shouldn't decide it for me. That's like picking a football team on how pretty their uniforms are. ::) I'm still between 2 bikes but one of them has changed since the stories came about. Interesting. Sometimes those stories and background do make a difference. ;) :D
1969 CL350 Scrambler... almost done!!! Well, until something else goes wrong. :)
2006 HD 883 Sportster, stock. No use changing it, it's still gonna be a Harley.

+1 on the bear comment.  That's what goes through my head every time I think about building a cafe.

As for how I narrowed it down, I just had to go with with worklog I found myself following the most.

It seems to be hard to vote almost every month.  Wait 'till BOTY!  If you look through the BOTY threads, you will see what I mean.

Wow that was tough, but Howell got my vote in the end. Just so purposeful and well sorted. CB550cafe ran it very close though,

Well done to all entrants, they are all beautiful bikes in their own way.

The slightly more vintage looking and streetable 550cafe got mine. But I would take them all home if I could.

5 bikes, that was hard to make a decision, there is so much talent on this forum, its hard to choose one above all others. In the end I decided on Cornandp’s beautiful bike! Well done Sir!
