Congratulations Terry from Australia for being the January BOTM winner!

He was a contender but I do not believe he won and it was over a month ago.  He was nominated again last month I think mainly cause we had no bikes at first but he declined.  So, we will see what he has to say this month.

He declined stating it was not complete [but should be by now]

Hi guys thanks for the nomination. I have to say when i wasn't sure in which direction to go with my bike build i seen two bikes on this forum that just blew me away and decided to do something similar to theirs. Not real origional i know but i suppose we all get ideas from each other to different extents. I'll try to send a better pic, anyway thanks Don.

Mr.TipperT... hats off to you on that flashy "it's nominating time" sign!  That excited me....thoroughly  

I had my mind made up for a while now...Tweak's bike has BOTY written all over it. (it's been written in  micro print in the most unbelievable places by the tiny BOTM elves while he was sleeping) like under the petcock rubber gasket...between the 4th and 9th camchain link...and squished inside the 3rd sewn hem on his seat...not to mention the gl forks now have BOTY stamped in the fusion-cast whipper sticks....which is the key to a cushy sport spirited ride.

(I need to get a set of F.C. Whippers)

Even if we are only in the first month of a barrage excitementé du' monthly votages....is it rash of me to be so bold?

That aside... If I may...and am allowed after revealing my inner most emotions...I'm going to take a closer look at the other contenders and lay my blessing... one shall be donned by da' NUT  ...is that okay?

PS.  Fusion-cast whipper sticks are fictional speed components not yet develloped or real...thus not actually in Tweakin's bike.  But if somebody chooses to produce these wonderful add-ons.... i claim 10% of all profits  ;D

Funny thing about regret is...... its better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't done.
