Welcome to RBotm December 2023 - Open Month Poll

What a great selection of entries to choose from to close out the competition for 2023, each and every one a worthy winner. Some tough personal choices to be made as we all only get one vote.
Thank you very much to all who entered, joined in the banter and also to the many who will be voting

This is also the last entry into the RBotYear whose poll will be going up towards the end of the month.

Thanks again and best of luck to all the entries. ** Jesper, if you have a larger photo please send it through and I can update.

@Jamiedyer Thanks for the notification Jamie, but I am realistic and even I wouldn't vote for my bike if you paid me to.
Such a gorgeous group out there that my, still as yet a mystery, bike would be best served as a bike stand to prop up the others.
Cheers to all and good luck!
I think I'll need to blindfold myself and throw a dart on my spinning "RBotM Wheel of Destiny" in order to pick one over another!

Bloody Hell that’s a very hard choice to pick a winner from here all gorgeous..

I think the owner's need to mount their pride and joy (I mean your bikes!), and race for the win.

That’s me screwed then

Considering my 'apres Noel' state of mine makes it two of us

No, I would not sell yourself or your entry short by any stretch. Among equals would be my description.

Well deserved win, beautiful old bike.

 

[Foreigner]

Congrats @Nabeaquam - truly lovely bike, well deserved.

@Jamiedyer how can we increase participation in voting, should there be a separate category under Road to promote it better, 22 votes seems low to me considering audience available?
Or could there be a themed month perhaps - December seemed to be one of those anyhow with mostly 1930s entries? Like 'prewar' or 'fixed/single speed' or 'swinging 60s' etc?
And in Jan we could also have overall winner of the year chosen from 12 monthly winners?

Just thinking loudly....or have these ideas been thrown in already and dismissed? Sorry as not been on here not that long

Chose the correct one but it was a really tough choice for me & surprised by such a big win but black & gold is always a good color scheme
