    Well done AndyK for winning the inaugural HD Forums AU BOTF (Bike Of The Forum)

    Good to see that all the entrants got votes, but Andy's 98 Sporty C was a well deserved winner.

    A fitting prize will be a brand new HD Forums AU T shirt when they are printed shortly.

    All join me in congratulating Andy on a fantastic bike.

    Looks nice, esp. the paintwork on the tank. Subtle, and still very cool.
