I'll second Dthree's...really can't figure out why I never nominated it myself 'cuz it's probably my favorite bike on here.

dhall57 · « **Reply #4 on:** October 05, 2012, 04:35:06 AM »

You know me and I like the stockers

Nothing wrong with the other bikes, but its hard to beat the sohc4 bikes that still have the same equipment that they did 35 to 40 years ago when they rolled off the showroom floor.
And there is not a much better example of this than CoachDoc's 1974 CB550. And he is the one and only owner of this bike also. So Coach I'm nominating your pride and joy for BOTM

Greggo · « **Reply #5 on:** October 05, 2012, 06:00:19 AM »

I am really liking this month so far!

bwaller · « **Reply #6 on:** October 05, 2012, 12:33:24 PM »

I like to see them stock and Coach yours looks great. It's especially rewarding to hear of another original owner as well, so consider this a second of your nomination dhall57.

luap · « **Reply #7 on:** October 05, 2012, 03:18:48 PM »

dlhoulton's Tin Lizzie his bike is sweet. Pretty nice 12 post total an nominated for BOTM.

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #8 on:** October 05, 2012, 03:40:03 PM »

I hadn't seen Tin Lizzie before, but I love it, I'll second that nomination, then I'm going to find the build thread!

I like the stockers too, but I think dlhoulton did an excellent job on his build. It is one of the best looking custom builds I have seen.

dhall57 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 06, 2012, 02:56:08 AM »

I agree onepiece. Nice custom build with a little different twist

I just have a soft spot for the stock bikes, especially when they are as nice as Doc's.

bill440cars · « **Reply #11 on:** October 06, 2012, 10:32:51 AM »

Both are Fine Looking, alright and I would have never thought I would like a 750 Built like the "Tin Lizzie", but THAT IS One Great Looking Bike! I Am Amazed at how Fantastic it looks. Awesome Build! Not to take anything away from the 750 Cafe, as IT Is AWESOME, on it's OWN!

Greggo · « **Reply #12 on:** October 06, 2012, 10:36:57 AM »

We still need a permanent moderator for this section folks. If not a permanent replacement, we at least need someone to take over for next month to keep the wheels rolling

Dimitri13 · « **Reply #13 on:** October 07, 2012, 01:00:25 AM »

I'd just like to point out that the Tin Lizzie (in the two photos posted) don't have carbs.

RAFster122s · « **Reply #14 on:** October 07, 2012, 01:06:27 AM »

It is air injected...very fuel efficient.

dlhoulton · « **Reply #15 on:** October 07, 2012, 03:42:14 AM »

I would like to thank those who nominated me for this honor, but as Dimitri13 pointed out as well as I stated in my post, "She's not quiet done but getting close". If this disqualfies me then that's ok. It's an honor just to have it nominated!! I'll continue posting progress and completed pictures when she is done.
Thanks,
dlhoulton

dhall57 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 07, 2012, 03:55:44 AM »

Looked at the rules for BOTM nominees, and this should not disqualifie your bike

Greggo · « **Reply #17 on:** October 07, 2012, 07:26:22 AM »

dhall, would you be willing to take over just for next month?

Dimitri13 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 07, 2012, 04:50:08 PM »

Oh, don't get me wrong, I wasn't trying to disqualify anyone, I just thought some of ya'll would get a chuckle out of the missing carbs. It took me a second to realize what was missing

No malice intended.

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #19 on:** October 08, 2012, 01:21:59 AM »

Bloody hell mate, I won BOTM twice, and my bikes didn't even run! (jokes......)

Really? · « **Reply #20 on:** October 08, 2012, 09:31:09 AM »

Props to all of you for keeping this going and doing a darn fine job!

There are those unwritten rules yanno, they always pop up.

Yea, it is one of those unwritten rules. I guess one would expect that to be understood and not need to be written.

Maybe someone should add it.
