Always liked that bike FunJimmy.     There's alot more in that bike than you might notice at first glance.  Anybody who hasn't seen the
build thread should check it out.   A well deserved win, congrats.
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

Quite well deserved FunJimmy!
Getting voted bike of the year with the diverse and discerning crew that frequents this forum speaks to quality bike you have there.

Cheers!

FJ's build thread was one of the most interesting I've seen on this forum. He earned the BOTY!

This year looks like to be some fierce competition.  So bring out all you have.  Last year we had 145 votes, 122 posts and 4974 page views for the 2008 BOTY thread.  Wonder if we have the nerve to beat any of those.

Stats for this years BOTY

171 votes, 59 posts, 3468 page views.

We beat one of those stats this year, kewl!  I guess not enough drama to beat the other two, lol.

Congrats Mr. Jimmy!

Wow!  Thank you, everyone, for your fantastic support and kind compliments.
There isn’t a single bike in this line up that shouldn’t be awarded the coveted BOTY recognition, and I thank you all for voting for mine.
I'm honored to be the recipient of your award.

This is the best Christmas present I could have ever hoped for.

Merry Christmas to all.

Cheers
Jimmy

Do December BOTM.  Then in January, do, at the same time, the previous years BOTY and that months BOTM.  We'll just always have 2 polls for January (BOTY and BOTM).
Or add December '08 BOTM to the '09 BOTY.
No matter how fast or how far I rode, I couldn't leave her memory behind.
