I tried the paypal thing to sway my vote a few times.  I never got a dime, lol.

As a new member I get to vote for my 1st Bike of the Month. As in previous months that I have reviewed, another outstanding group of SOHC's.  But how to make a choice, would I want it in my collection (somewhat limited currently :)) / or in my garage (if I had one :().  Terry's would certainly get space in the 'garage' as the daily ride.  Traveller's attention to detail, not withstanding it's a 550 (my current build), sets a high bar.  But the one I keep going back too is DHolBrook's 750.  Whether it is the stance, the colours, the pipe, it just works.  Now I'll have to start looking for a 750 build project!

If it comes down to something like that, it must be hard to vote this month.

(note tumbleweed commentary below)



well i just pulled the trigger. it was hard to make a better informed decision not having more info/pix. some were better than others in this regard.  *not so subtle hint*

i truly love each bike but in the end i voted on pure emotion... kinda like the last election!

:D :D :D pow!! zing!! i still got it!!!! :D :D :D ::)

i suppose with 3 days left if there's a flood of pix/info i may change my mind. donations to the ecosse poverty fund/ cb550 restoration project may tip the scales too.


 ;D

Well, I'm humbled guys, I was stoked that I'd even been nominated, particularly considering the beautiful bikes that "Golden Boy" (that's my bike, not me.....) was up against, so I am absolutely floored that you all think it's good enough to win BOTM. If it wasn't so bloody cold here, I'd take it for a ride to celebrate! Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
