Nominate for Bike Of The Month - January 2013
« on: November 14, 2012, 12:53:50 AM »
It's Nominatin' Time!

Congratulations Doctor_D for being the 2012 BOTY winner!

I will let this run until about 12/25/15 and then start the voting thread.  IT'S A SHORT MONTH!!!  Good thing Sam got a little kickstart!

Please Nominate, Second and Accept using those words.  It makes it easier for me to setup the voting threads.  It gets cryptic at times.

*****************************************************************************************************

Here is a starter for 2013 ;D ;D ;D ;D nothing like getting them in early. ;)

Bill Bentons Purple Rain, and yes it is finished ::)

If a "Hell yeah" doesn't cut it, I'll officially second Olivia.   Something about that one.....she's a beauty.

Anyway, not much time to get through this one for January!

Sorry folks, been on vacation (still am) and forgot about this.  Looks like we have two bikes for January BOTM.  I will try and remember to get this up tonight, I might be drunk though.  :P

OH!!!! WOW!! I had no idea this was actually happening. HAHAHA
I guess thats cool. But I have to be honest. The bike "Olivia" is not complete. Fab work is done. And yes I have been riding it. But I still need to paint and the finishing touches. She's a work in progress.

But If it still cool to enter..? sure why not. =)

thank you to those that have nominated me. =)
