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.
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

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. =)
