FWIW my wife wears a Honda jacket on her Ducati when it's too hot for her Dainese leathers. So maybe it evens out. ;)

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.

i don't think my bike stands (nor deserves) a snowball's chance in hell, but here are a few better pics:
Don't kid yourself, man.  It's an incredible piece of work - the dream, the plan, and the execution all seem to have been done with expertise, care, and patience.

I had to vote for Godffrey because I have such a thing for that rear suspension mod, but your bike and 500Four's made me seriously re-think my general distaste for that fairing style.  Your bike and his are just incredibly beautiful.

Don't be shocked if you win, my man.

HOLY B0LOGNA!  8)...oh yes...I did it...I dropped the meat tube!  

This is one spectacular copulation of motor-cyclettes and quali-shazzam!  I'm pretty much in love with all of them and I'd be damned proud to have all... Or even just any one of them in between my legs..... at once.  ;) .....haha

As much as I want to...I can't honestly vote for my own bike on this one!...And it's super tough to decide who will get it.... so much beauty!.... seriously....DAMN quality work on all these two-wheeled road hungry beasts... raising the bar way high!

That said...I'll throw in a few shots of the Tarmac Terror!!  Drop pants and grab ankle...cause she's coming in fast!!!   ahaha

I may not even vote for this one (prolly will though).  If I vote, it will tear me up cause I also wanted to vote for another one.

The ulcers are back, the stesss...the stressssss...

enough of that, I gotta get back to work, less stressful!

I won't post a lot of pics here but I will link a slideshow of some other photos and some bike nights and shows that I have ridden it to. I've never put it up for judging, but instead just enjoy riding it and sharing it with other vintage bike enthusiasts.

so here is a short slideshow

wow this is a tough decision. I'm really split on a lot of these.

I read a lot of these build threads and have taken ideas/inspiration from most of them.

Good luck to everyone.

There are no powers greater than you in here.  BOTM/BOTY is your domain, and you must rule it with an iron fist.
