OK... with a little prompting from grandpaul, I've put up a Bike of the Year vote. As far as I know, we haven't done this before and it's not an official thing, but it seemed fun, so here we go.
Voting ends at the end of January.
The winner has been promised a signed copy of grandpaul's book as well as a CAD drawing of the winner's bike.
To sweeten the pot, I'll throw in a photomosiac render of the winner's bike as well as a 7" sealed beam LED headlight.
If we thought monthly voting was hard....annual voting is...well, 12x harder
I've voted for the bike I think epitomises the 'ton up culture' as it stands today.
Pick a mundane model with a cracking engine, improve and update the suspension to modern day standards, overcome engineering issues with integrity and innovation, then assemble it with glorious attention to detail.....all this carried out in his home garage as well.
Overall concept, build quality, engineering integrity, attention to detail and final finish all earn my admiration and vote....can you guess which one
To encourage more voting and give people a chance to choose more than one bike, I've extended the voting period by a couple of weeks and given each member 3 votes to use!
To use your additional votes, if you've already voted, you can now use the 'Remove Vote' option and then re-cast your vote. You get 3 choices - you can still only vote for each bike 1 time.
Thank goodness for the 3 votes... still hard to narrow down tho
Great variety that's come up over the past 12 - little bit of everything!
Got to say my horizon's been broadened...
