Now it is time for your pics and stories.  Spread them out.  It makes this half of the month more interesting.

Sorry y'all for flaking out for a couple days.  The voting thread is up now.  I guess you can see that, duh.

We might have had to get nominees kicking and screaming this month, but I think we have a good spread.  Best of all, there aren't any stockers, so the custom rides have a better chance than usual.  That's just awesome.

The way I look at it, if politicians can cast a vote for themselves, why not people who work for a living?

Godffrey, I've been trying to find a build thread on your bike and haven't had any luck. Great photos, but I'd be really interested in reading written descriptions of everything you did. Any chance you'll be posting a build thread in the Project Shop section?

I love the BCR pipes and going to get some for my bike eventually, but the bike, while very nice and all, seemed a bit gaudy. Sorry.

ok Guys, here is a little better pic of my bike, and a pic of the bartender that I wish I could get to ride on the back.  I'll be the first to admit that the other bikes are much shinier than mine, but mine runs like hell and I don't mind getting it all dirty! It has come a long way, yet to me it still holds the classic look of an old dirt tracker. Good luck to everybody, even if mine doesn't win, I'm going to tell all of my friends that it did :D

are those blue front turn signals, robdrobd? I like 'em!! Are they legal where you are?

The chick is okay too but, yeah really, she needs to be sitting on your bike to get my vote. Tell her she would be doing all of humanity a big favor is she saddled up on your bike for some pics.  ;)
