Nominate for Bike Of The Month - May 2012
« on: April 01, 2012, 07:27:43 PM »
It's Nominatin' Time!


April 2012 BOTM Voting Thread - http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=103836.0

Congratulations Nvr2old for being the April 2012 BOTM winner!

I will let this run until about 4/15/12 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.

Yes, I do feel like a jerk... but let me be the first to point out, I never dissed the bike, only the asking price.  After examining the pix, and talking with luap's buddies, this bike has some really trick engineering that may actually be worthy of that crazy-in-the-head price! 

luap, we need more pix!  Consider your bike nominated for BOTM!  Can I get a second??
