Ok,2010 is history,so it's time to pick our favourite bike of the past year. The poll will be open until next Sunday.
Wow! What a great bunch of choices we have. Two beautiful,highly modified,and fast Thruxes from Henry and Bret.A certified 100 horsepower Bonneville from Mike.Bonnie not only rides her sweet machine far,but from the racetrack photos we've seen,like a demon,as well.Ron's rare and ubercool Hurricane Harry. Graeme and Rich present us with a couple of gorgeous examples of classic English Iron,that have me drooling all over my keyboard whenever I see them,and one of my personal faves,Steve's cool custom take on a WWII dispatch bike.Others have done it since,but I think his was the first.
This is going to be a tough vote for me.
You will be able to change your vote until the poll closes.
EVERYBODY WHO HAS BEEN NOMINATED-PLEASE POST AT LEAST ONE PIC OF YOUR BIKE ON THIS THREAD!!

What a great selection of bikes! Whichever wins will certainly be very worthy of the title, thats for sure. I'll set the ball rolling with the photos then........ My 1971 BSA A65T ThunderboltOriginally exported to USA when it was new, where it had two owners and covered a grand total of 4000 miles. Brought back to UK in 2008 where it sat in a collection until I got my hands on it in 2010. It was still 100% stock original, even including the 1971 tyres and innertubes! Here's a few snaps.......    And out and about with another intrepid BIIRA member! Its Gump and his excellent T140.......  Happy Days, and looking forward to more in 2011!! V. |

Here are pictures of my life .. well not all of it ;D I am so glad I have this hobby, you guys are fantastic not only the good stories but also to watch your vision of your bikes. I feel a little humble to post on this thread. It is so many nice bikes out there, Lake's Thrux with the sidecar .... and basicly all bikes at Biira!!!! Pictures of my bike are from the 3 period that I defined as the Standard, light mods, and finaly what it looks like today. Thruxton 2007: Jubileum tank set silver/black, Carozzeria wheels, Ohlins shocks, Arrow dual pipes, and a lot of small parts:-)      On holy ground  With the black tank set. Packed up on a 5700 km trip true Europa  In front of the Commo Lake Italy Track day  |

I post pictures for Bonnie since she is recovering in her bed after a nasty fall that broke 4 ribs. As you know, she loves her Bonnie. She took the 40 000km service just before the winter, not bad for 2007 model. Croatia cost  Slovenia mountain   Grossglockner pass 2400m  Home   |

Everybody remember,you can change your vote until the poll closes,if you change your mind after seeing the pictures!
Don't be shy about voting for your own bike.I guarantee that Obama didn't vote for McCain,and look where it got him. ;D I can't see who voted for what bike,but I can see who did,in fact,vote.I see some of you nominees did not vote at all.Come back and vote for your bike,unless you truly believe another is more deserving,in which case,please,cast your vote for that bike.We need more votes.
A little campaigning might be in order.Get your friends from other forums to come vote for you. Or the other bike.

I've voted but reserve the right to change my mind, subject to the bribe being sufficient.
What happened to Robnobrakes by the way? He suddenly appears here as the TRAT vote starts and then is never heard of again. Vote pimp?
