Topic: VOTE for Bike Of The Year - 2010

[HedNut]

Big question for me is - would I park it in the front row, and ride it?

So that gets me down to 3.  D#* this is tuff, but I still have a week.

Tintop! Does that mean you have ROWS of bikes....That would be magical!...Imagine having these 12 bikes in your garage....Holly Banana Slacks... Life would be complete and all facets satisfied fully...winters would be pooh....until they came out with a conversion kit like this for our ol' bikes!

[Syscrush]

HedNut, you might not win BOTY, but you should win PhotoShop of the year for that one.

Depends on how you define a row HedNut.   The back row is a little sparse, what with it consisting of a 550 engine and parts for the race bike, and a 350/4 and equally forlorn pile of parts.  Oh and there is the 750K3, currently doing its impression of the Exxon Valdez over in the corner.   It's a question of what would I covet to go beside the 400/4, and my 550 cafe.

Not sure about the 'SnoBike'.  I got into enough trouble with the MXZ under me.   Now back to my deliberations, time is running out.

AHAh...Yep...I'd consider that ROWS of bikes for sure!  You're the man!   I really hope to grow a row soon...my rows took a big hit this past summer...with all the dirty bikes leaving "the showroom"    ..... One day....at least another CB750...and something modern...maybe a 848 or a DRZ400SM..those lil' monkies look fun around town!  

Cheers!

    HAPPY VOTING!!!

Well, we broke two records so far I think - definatley BOTY records.  128 posts and 201 votes so far!  I guess we did have the nerve, woohoo!!!!!!!

Add 1 to the post & vote record, I just made my choice.

I narrowed it down to the 3 I would most like to have in my garage and then picked the one that I thought had the best workmanship.

Congrats to all nominees.

[Really?]

My vote has been cast!  It went like this;

JFFMAMJJASON
TTHTHTHHHTHH

All the way down to;

JN
TT

And then I asked my daughter which one she likes best.  She checks on the BOTM every month and was interested in the BOTY.  I let her dot the radio button and make the vote.

She voted for....sorry....maybe next time...

[Tintop]

Doctor said I have to reduce the amount of stress in my life.  So I made a list....voted, and starting to feel better already.

I like to think I'm a rather patient fellow, but to be honest... the suspense is killing me!   8I

I´m sorry for my rather late jump in to promote my bike a little bit.
But i see at least eleven reasons to go for another vote and so i
think it doesn´t matter.
Also i have no more current pictures beside these ones:

But for the last voters whoever haven´t done their vote since yet,
please take a look at this:

It´s a real tough competition, all bikes are amazing.
In the end paulages bike catched my vote.
I haven´t done so because he voted for my bike (thanks mate, so i have got at least one vote ),
I have done so because I appreciate that he shared his developments and his find-outs
on the small block engines with the community.  
And he also built a very fine bike.

Nevertheless good luck to all the other nominees.

Regards, Heinz

Great photo Heinz.  The eyes say it all!  Does look as though the 'red mist' has spread though.

[Godffery]

Heinz you do some spectacular technical work!
Absolutely LOVE the engine mods.

On track in Rijeka/Croatia September 2010.

Great pictures. I'd love to see it on the track in person.

[Gaither]

ALL Beautiful bikes!    ALL deserving of a "win".    Makes for a difficult decision.

After all, it's simply a matter of personal taste and is NOT intended to be critical of any of the other bikes.

So, I gotta go with Simpson's KO!

[BruceDeuce]

All have alot of work into them but I could only vote for #1 HedNut

[bill440cars]

       Ya know, in all the time I've been here, I've seen lots of what were thought to be bikes that were hard to pick just ONE from that group, but THIS has to be the hardest bunch I've seen! There just so many that are SO outstanding!!!!!!!!!

      It was a Hellofa Choice, but I have made mine!

I know it's a bit pointless at this stage of the game, but I just got these new pix:
