This is hard. Looking at what people have listed, I can say this list has a lot of really sick dudes (and dudettes!) and I'm one of them! But there are a lot of you a LOT sicker than me! ;-D Too many people have listed SO many cool bikes in their collections that I feel like a piker in comparison...
