In the spirit of everyone's posts, I also want to say thanks to the 4 folks that voted for my BonniRocket. I'd be lying if I said I didn't hope it'd do better, but let's face it - there are some fantastic bikes that were built this year. The bar is pushed upwards again, and the best bikes get the votes. So, I'm happy that even those folks thought my build was worth considering. At the end of the day, I've got a cool bike to continue to tinker with and develop, one that isn't another like anywhere.

Now I'm thinking that, as salt flat cars often are accompanied by a shop truck of some sort that not only towed them out to the flats, but also serve as a push truck to get them rolling at the beginning of a run (due to tall gearing), I need to build a matching cycletruck of some sort. Maybe a "push trike".

There are alot of sweet bikes in this build off. Good luck to all and congrats on creating such works of art.

Well, it was great being in the 10 while it lasted!

Thanks to all who voted regardless where your votes went!

Bonnirocket was soooo near my top! She was something like number 5. Great job on that bike.

Great job guys, you sure made it hard to only pick 3 bikes. Best of Luck.

Whoever voted for Rat Klunker, thanks! Didn't expect a vote, but hey, I'll take it!

Now I begin the arduous task of whittling down the enormous list of awesome bikes. Wish me luck. Not gonna be easy.

Man, it would be a total shame if your bike wasn't at least top 10. I mean it is certainly one of my favorites.

I think it is interesting to see the votes and compare them to my list. I haven't voted yet and I haven't fully decided on my top three, but my favorite bike in the build off is the Seminole. I think it is darn near the perfect "rat" bike. That is one bike I would love to call my own! The patina is perfect, the headbadge is awesome, I love the wheels, the stance, the seat, etc.

Thanks again to everyone who has voted or plans to vote for the Hot Rod Higgins. I can't begin to tell you how proud I am that people are voting for it. It is a great feeling and certainly humbling to do well considering these bikes are built by some of the top rat bike builders on the planet.

I felt the same way about The Seminole bike....It has a great stance...

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

Houndog, thanx. I'd like to say I had a vision for Seminole and slaved over it, but truth is, it just fell together; almost built itself.

I wish the Monark I'm doing now were as easy.

I'm super appreciative of all the votes it received. It was nice to be in the top ten for 12 hours.

This is my 1st year with RRB, and I must say the imagination and craftsmanship possessed by the artisans here is humbling. I loved going through all the finished bike pics and believe that there are no losing bikes in the bunch. That being said, I finally narrowed down to 10, which were:
'67
Boni Rocket
FlexLiner 7
Hex 53
Mosby's Raiders
Below Radar
Cherry Bomber
Eliminator 20" Muscle Bike
MoFaux
Strait Steal

after much deliberation and saying to myself "this one is too cool" and "that is so imaginative", I decided to vote for the three bikes that I wanted to own and ride around town.......... '67, FlexLiner 7, and Mosby's Raiders.

I am currently trying to acquire an old, rusty, Hiawatha Drag Duster, so I hope to be able to use that frame for a build, and maybe I'll hold off until RRBO8!

[charliechaindrive]

Atleast I finished! And voting was very difficult. So very many amazing bikes, mine can hardly compete. But, to the winner go the spoils!

[dangratsdan]

WOW! What an OUTSTANDING group of bikes!
Wish my entry that did not get done ( or hardly started, the last couple of months time and energy was spent buying a new ( to me, but it is nearly 100 years old) house), was standing with this outstanding group of bikes and builders. What a show. GREAT JOB, RATRODBIKES.

[EasyRider420]

[Biker Butch AZ]
