Tough pick... I can honestly say that I would love to put around on any one of these.
Amazing work to each of you - Im impressed for different reasons with each.

The difference between a 'bike builder' and a 'parts collector' is a fine line.

Something was striking me as tough in this month's vote (other than each of these being a good quality ride), and I've finally pinpointed it.  I'm thinking this month's vote might just boil down to personal preference for engine type for some of us.  What have we?  2-stroke parallel twin? Check.  V-twin? Check.  Liquid-cooled inline 4? Check.  Air-cooled 4? Yep.  Man, now I have conflict between bias and minor cosmetic preferences. 
Well anyway, these bikes are awesome guys--well done.

Thanks for your support.

What happened to the vote counter thingy ma-giger that used to be at the bottom of the pictures?

I believe the great and mighty Tim has the ability to disable that particular function for dramatic effect.

lol, okay, i was just wondering cause i remembered when i first voted it i didn't see it there and i was like "goody I'm the first to vote, then i voted and still saw nothing". As silly as it sounds i felt kinda disappointed cause i didn't know if i was first or not. :(

I've decided to hide the results till the voting is over.  I think that makes more sense.  If it's good enough to elect a President, it's good enough for BOTM.
