Not much time folks to get your vote in.

I am sure someone could not decide and still has not voted yet.  Make your choice or forever keep in stowed, lol.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

Now I have pushed the button.

At first i wanted to vote for my own bike.
But then i thought that would be a little bit too cheap.
So i had to find out which one should got my vote.
It was really hard ´n tough. I got some headache about this.
At the end i simply voted for the bike i´ve seconded.

By the way, i have space for all the bikes,
bring them over here. ;D ;D ;D

Regards,

Heinz

Tough vote for sure. Nice race bike, nice resto, nice cafes. I tend to vote for a bike I could build with my skills and tools. So I broke it down like that. Again, a tough vote.

Makes me think with so much talent on the forum, maybe its time to tweak BOTM and group like bikes together by month. There are BOTM's in different categories here for sure. Its almost apples & oranges.

Nice SOHC4's all around! No losers here.

congratulations and kudos to '500four for winning and congrats to all the rest for having great machines and the spectacularly good taste to own them.  ;D

no cafe racer my friend.

no shame in not winning because, as you said, we're a fickle crowd. they're all worthy contenders; but as a wise old scotsman once said: there can be only one.  ;D

 :o :o :o   That´s awful!!!   :o :o :o

I really haven´t had it on my bill that the vote could be end in this way.
My favorits of rationalism were tweakin and otto,
and my favorits of heart were Nikkisixx, DelbT and Matt.
Congratulations to them.
Thanks to everyone who does a vote here wherever they did.

I apprecicate the vote and i´m very hounored honoured.

THANKS


Regards,

Heinz

P.S.: I haven´t noticed since yet that there is only a small club of voters.
In my opinion that´s a pity. Maybe some votes had been gone another way
if there had voted some more.

wow, really cool bikes this month. I think the winning bike is very deserving. just freakin awesome. above and beyond most bikes in any category. there were some very worthy contestants but that that 500-4 is hard to beat.

anyways it's just a beauty contest right. anyone with a finished running bike that they have restored or built themselves is a winner already.

I am just going to come right out and say it.  I can't pick just one.  I may not even vote because, well, you can see for yourself.  Soooo, you nominee's had better figure out what it is gonna take to get my one vote.

Yanno, I bet I am not the only one!

Yha... +1
I would like to vote for AT LEAST 4 of theses!   :-\

BTW; is there something wrong with the BOTM winner album, or is it just on my end?

Yes, there is something wrong with the Gallery thread and on the home page.  The thread is because it has not been updated in a long time.  Since that looked to be Steve's, I never touched it but can't remember if I were to keep that going when I picked up this gig from Heffay.  I have had thoughts of updating it.  The one on the homepage I have no access to to update or make any changes.  That is Glenn's baby.  That does not get updated often and always seems a bit flakey.  Especially the one randomly changing BOTM pic.  It does not pic very well and skips a lot of bikes.

So, it is not you.  ;D
