...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, I quit.  Not doing it any more.  Too much frickin' pressure.  I pick them all and say, "Well done, it's better than anything I'll make, enjoy being awesome" and call it a day.

Just imagine how they feel coming into to this competition with the other 11!  I have felt it, the "OH CHIT" feeling can leave a big hole right in the center of your torso!

  WOW!! All these bikes would make a nice 2011 calendar!! Good luck to all!! 

[Syscrush]

Godffrey, your bike is incredible - it would have to be to stand out among the other 10 beautiful machines featured here!

Squirley, your bike is so f'n rad that it makes me re-think my usual distaste for modern USD's on these vintage bikes.  Seriously, I love it.

CB500Four, your bike just radiates class and attention to detail.  You should be proud.

Hednut, you're a maniac and your build thread has gotten me through many a boring day at work.


Congrats to everyone featured here, 11 astonishingly great bikes!

I really think Hush and Kit encapsulate it all rather nicely - it's so hard to chose, sometimes even the masses together can't decide.

It's also just sooo nice to have making a choice between those two make a return...and bring reinforcements.   

[tango911]

un believable guys!!   wow

[hoodellyhoo]

Very hard to choose. I'm usually a sucker for a stock bike but in the end I had to go with Paulages. I love the styling and the ammount of work that went into it is amazing.

[Hotcorner]

Apples and oranges...and some cherries too.

[cadaver]

No way...NO WAY!!!!.... some of my favorite bikes are in this and its so hard for me just to type, I don't know what to say...........  I half ta really drink this one out for a few days.

[KB02]

We have how long to decide?

Seriously, what a great mix of bikes. Classics, cafes, a chopper, and even the guy who will try to bring them all in for trying to do the Ton. 

Awesome job to everyone. Simply outstanding bikes.

We should get at least two or three votes. I can't pick just one...

[Simpson]

I really like TT's bike, an original looker. 

[Stev-o]

All very, very nice! When deciding, sometimes I think of which bike I would most like to have in my garage.
[Imagine having all of them!!]

Nice work...

[MoMo]

All are exceptional works of art but if I had one that I would like to have it is Hush's copsickle. Kudos to all.

[FunJimmy]

This could quite possibly be the toughest BOTY competition.

You guys keep raising the bar and I’m grateful for the time we have to vote, but it’s so hard.

Congratulations to all of you for outstanding bikes.

Will have to work on this awhile before I can cast my vote though.

Cheers

I'm gonna go right ahead and second this.

[Cqyqte]

Yes I must say a wide variety of choices and tastes, congratulations to the one that comes out on top.  Now for a shamless pitch, but I feel this is a much better pic....

[Stev-o]

I'm not a "chopper guy", but Cqyqte's bike is aewsome!
[I voted for it, BOTM]

[Frankenkit]

They're all gorgeous... I'm just happy to have a little space among all these beautiful rides.  I feel like I fall in love a little every time I scroll down.  (Then I see Hush's bike and make sure I'm at 55mph...)  They all have their niche.  I'd LOVE to bomb down a road on Hednut's biohazard terror, or load up mine and our Simpson's and ride until school and everything is far behind me.   I was happy just to stand next to and TOUCH Paulages' bike.  The level of workmanship there is just amazing, and the pic you get doesn't really show the soft, almost rainbow-like effect the clearcoated metal has on his ride.

[Really?]

I think that classifies as a poem Kit.   

[paulages]

i don't think my bike stands (nor deserves) a snowball's chance in hell, but here are a few better pics:

[Stev-o]

Paulages - don't sell yourself short, your bike is amazing!

To be honest, it's not my style of bike, buuuuuut the museum-quality work and meticulous  craftsmanship of your project are morse than worthy of being held up with the best bikes of the year on here.  You should be very proud of your ride, and I expect to see it get a huge chunk of the votes.

[Simpson]

Paulages - don't sell yourself short, your bike is amazing!

That's a sweet bike...

[Simpson]

Couple of my favorites lately...
