Didn't the producers send you a DVD of the episode?

You could probably get one just by asking nicely.

I made a "trophy" for Jeff Stephens and the BOTY - Cafe Overkill. The logo is his own design, Hednut worked out the CAD #'s for me...and here is the Godffrey beer coaster/ show kick stand holder!!!  I will try to keep this up for every BOTY, maybe a lexan one for the BOTM winners from here on out?? This is my first year on the forum and Hednut pointed out to me that 4 of the BOTM winners had my parts? Fricking sweet. ANYWAY. Jeff, I will get you a clear cover with the logo, and congrats!!

Damn, now I gotta go build another bike so I'll be in the running for a cool beer coaster! >:( ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

It's sad to say but I don't remember who I voted for and as I revisit the bikes I can't really say which I would vote for today.

very nice set of bikes.

Tipper, we all appreciate a thread like this. I just figured it would be cool for the winner to have both bragging rights AND a tangible piece. Makes it easier to justify to our lady friends why we spend so much time on this forum. *props & Prizes*  ( I am not trying to hijack this thread) ;D
