Nominate for Bike Of The Month - August 2012
« on: July 04, 2012, 10:47:29 AM »

It's Nominatin' Time!

July 2012 BOTM Voting Thread -  http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=108635.0

Congratulations Hoodellyhoo for being the July 2012 BOTM winner!

I will let this run until about 7/15/12 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.

No sir. the farthest I've been in the engine was to replace the seals under the cam towers a few years back.  The engine is stock except for the Dyna S and exhaust, and is otherwise all original.

I'll accept the nomination. Story and pics to follow. Thanks.

135,000 miles is amazing! Though just proof that it can be done, every CB750 was capable of this, few ever got the chance.
