Nominate for Bike Of The Month - February 2012
« on: January 02, 2012, 09:06:45 AM »
It's Nominatin' Time!


January 2012 BOTM Voting Threadhttp://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=99794.0 

Congratulations K5owner for being the January 2012 BOTM winner!

I will let this run until about 1/15/12 and then start the voting thread.

Please Nominate, Second and Accept using those words.  It makes it easier for me to setup the voting threads.  It gets cryptic at times.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

Well thanks for the nomination Bill,
 when we pulled this lump of rust and white oxide from a North Yorkshire barn after it's ten year "sleep" we were tempted to take it straight to the scrap dealers and get some beer money.

Thanks Eddy for talking me out of it and helping so much with the rebuild. :)

 Can't believe any of those beauties sat still long enough to get photos taken.  Well done gentlemen.   Gonna take a few days to figure this one out.
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.
