I'll nominate CD811 -- is that the right username?  That is just one mean ass looking bike.  If bikes could fight, it would be like Chuck Norris.

Heffay -- are you talking about me?  If so, thanks.  Gotta represent the little bikes, yo.

Cool.  Get him to accept.  Chuck would be proud.

<Begin pimping myself>
There are some larger pics of my bike in the gallery http://www.sohc4.us/gallery/v/cb400/tsflstb/
<end pimping>

I'm pretty sure the hi-res pics will knock me out of contention.  The 400 has too much "character" close up.

Notice that custom made big ass dent in the tank.  I knocked it over in the garage when I was cleaning up some wiring on the bike.  You wouldn't think electrical work would take that much force, but when I wire somethin' by God it stays wired.   ;D

Normally I'd say wait until I finish a few details and do some paint & body work...but realistically this is as good as it'll get for a while (the stork is dropping off a present next month)

I've been a fan of Chippy's bike for a long time.  That's a sweeet looking ride! :)  And, yes, that's an official nomination.  Any seconds? 

I'd post some pictures, but the ones I found are now considered too large to attach and I don't feel like reducing them right now, so here's a link to a thread with the pictures.

Does the fact that the Green Machine is in pieces matter?  ;D  JK - I've always loved the bike - hope it's in fewer pieces now than it was a month ago  :o

I would also like to nominate Bob Wessner's CB750.

Bob actually voted for my bike in the last round, not his own!. If he had voted for his own bike he would have won the June Bike of the Month.

It's been a hollow victory for me boys...so someone please second Bob's bike... :)
