I have done my choice.

The vote should be very dificult but it was relatively easy for me
because among all these beautifull and awesome bikes is one that catched me.
Its builder has done things to it which i have in mind since years but never done
since yet.
His build is encouragement for me to do these details on my next building / rebuilding.

Good luck to all competitors.


Regards,

Heinz

Finally back on line, thanks for posting the vid TipperT.  Not that best, but does give a hint as to the 'Hailwood four' sound, that emanates from those 4 pipes.

Well done spammasher.  Always liked the look of that bike.    The paintwork really sets things off.   Very unique.  Congrats.
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

Well thanks very much for all those who voted for my bike, there was only a few percent between the top 3 or 4 bikes so that tells me no one bike is necessarily better than the another. I love my bike but my wife just thinks it's some smelly thing that sits in the garage. I might just explain my stupid name 'spammasher' i was looking for a user name but every one i typed in had been used so through frustration i typed in a name i thought no sane person would have and i was right. Anyway thanks again this web site has helped me alot, i'll just leave you with a few updated pics. Regards Don.

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?"
