I do not nominate but hoping y'all might.  I really like HedNut's bike.  I like the paint scheme, it looks different on both sides. I am digging the 4-4 exhaust too.

I'll step up and nominate HedNut's bike, I too think it looks killer with that paint.

Wow, Thanks guy! Have to say being my first build I didn't expect that. I was going to take some better photos in the sun using an actual camera this past weekend but it's getting down to the 30's in Wisconsin so I was lazy and stayed warm instead  ;D I'm still shopping around for a nice decal or something to go on the tail, the racing numbers i ordered came in the wrong color.

You earned it with the Pail 'o Tail.

FWIW, I'm not a shill for Race Tech - I've just got a thing for good suspension and the RTCE's are the most cost-effective mod for these old damping rod front ends.

C'mon someone has to nominate RYNO's sweet bike.  I already nominated shoeboxjoe and don't think you can nominate two bikes in one month, lol.  Another tough month, all deserving.
