Here's my take on it all and as I've said before, people are voting for the model that "they" currently own and not on the merits of the bike. It's a shame. That'snot what this contest is supposed to be about.

Though I am "honored", for lack of a better term, to have somebody out there that thinks my bike is nice enough to be in the contest, I really don't give a flying fvck what anybody thinks about my bike. I built this bike in my head while I was in Afghanistan for a year. I built it for ME! Nobody else. My bike is actually coming out better than I had originally planned and I'm happy as hell about it. If somebody likes it, great; if they don't, great. I know my bike and CNC's bikeblows away that bagger, eventhough he's done apretty goodjob with it. I know the truth.

But, I think I will have to Lionsqrne...Idon't think I'm going tovote any more.

That's all I have to say aboutthis.

I built my bike in my head before I put it together. I built it the way I wanted it. And I am happy with it. I am proud to call it mine and want to thank all the great comments about it.

I wished that it was more about the bike they truly liked, not the way it seems to have turned out. But it is what it is.

What matters is that all 5 have made it to this nomination, and in reality, that is pretty damn cool. I'd be honored to ride with any of these bikes out on the road!

WOW... What happened to the "I'm just going to keep my mouth shut" I read in the BOTM thread???

Ya need to calm down man!! Most of us with any common sense know what is going on.

Would you be proud to win BOTM if most of, or all of your votes came from people that rode softies. "Just Because" ???

If all the bikes that are in BOTM would be in a true bike contest, with true judges ,the outcome would be alot different than you see.

So CHILL out man.You have a very cool lokin scoot. Ride it and enjoy life.

A lot of people that came to the Boston Motorcycle expo agree...they didn't realize our bikes were Deluxes!
A lot of others were amazed CNC made our wheels and derby covers!
And almost all couldn't believe the bikes went from before to after so well, so quickly.

Both of us are extremely proud to have been nominated for BOTM, CNC for March and mine was back in January. Just being in the running was a tribute.
The thought that people put into their bikes and the follow thru is so amazing and every month, it is so hard to vote. Everyone did another fantastic job this month!

I think the real problem here is that both Trob666 and CNC have bikes that would generally appeal to the similar groups of people. The votes have been split between them. Lilgmac has a nice bagger, but it is nothing THAT special. I really think the softies are cancelling eachother out.
