It's not a mechanically beautiful bike anyway, to put it gently, so might as well show that off. If you can hide it, hide it. If you can't hide it, exaggerate it

cutting a new hole and moving the door in your shed sounds like a project.

Bet it'll look smart. If you were buying it again, how much more do you think you would be happy to pay to have it looking like it does now after all the little improvements? All together, they must make a big difference in looks.

OK, 8 votes. That's a surprisingly low number considering the whining last year. The decision has been made then, unless the vote changes dramatically.

Plenty of grumps around here anyway, you do well to not be self conscious and to stay around!

It's ok, my house is at the top of the street

Thanks Saul. Took some doing to win a BOTM this year, had to go all the way to Morocco and pay a guy to walk his camels in front of my bike

So this is just a pre nomination thread thread?

Went to the supermarket just now, with no shopping bag clip or bungee on the rack. carried my groceries home on my left hand, like someone that didn’t plan ahead OR has a handbag clip installed

Came to my place for a couple of days, and finally washed all (must) of the Morocco dust and mud out my bike The house was freezing as it’s been closed for a while, am currently burning gas and wood to make it liveable

Thanks Bob, not counting my chickens though

End of November and we have a total of 3 entries for Bike Of The Month, not many but surely 3 high quality efforts! @boboneleg’s Suzuki DR650SE @Pedro’s BMW R1200GSA @Saul’s Triumph Sprint 900 The poll will close on Sunday at 21:00. If there is a tie we will delete the less voted entry and settle it during the next day.

I’ll be starting the poll shortly.

3 entries so far!

Enjou the ride, but by the weekend the vote will be up, though.

Nice one. No ride report though, where is the love?

It’s worth whatever someone is willing to pay to get it.

That’s certainly an option, but won’t go into the vote.

Wake up call for @MooN, @JustaPor, @Marcel, @Skippy, @Six30, @skyrider, @busabeast,@Cupid Stunt, @Clive, @boboneleg, @Nute

If someone comes up with a better idea, I’ll include it in the poll. But it’ll happen at the end of year and there will be no whining!

So, bike of the year is at the end of year, and it’ll run at end of December instead of bike of the month. We can do it in different ways, I’ll let you choose. I like that everyone can enter with any picture taken in 2025, this way you can also use December pictures and is a big winner takes all kind of thing. However, we can also automatically use all of 2025 bike of the month winners until November. If you care to give your opinion, vote on the poll and majority decides.
