Hope to see Objectionable One´s CB750 and Paul Jones Dunstall in the poll soon as they were both nominated, seconded and accepted.

The more, the merrier ;D

Meanwhile, if you want more pics of the black Cafe, here´s a link to my gallery:

i added a couple late entries... sorry objectionable one!  superbiker_uk, you should have accepted before the 15th and especially before last night or this morning after i'd already made the poll... but, since people seem to think it was nominated, seconded and accepted i'll be nice.  here's the pics for everyone to peruse.

Thanks for including my bike. I was so thrilled to be nominated in the first place i forgot to use the words nomination accepted in my original response :)

I have included a picture and you can get to my gallery in my gallery here

If any members are in the UK VJMC you can read more about my Dunstall in the August issue of the club magazine Tansha
http://www.vjmc.com/Magazine.htm

If you can lay your hand on a copy of the excellent Classic Motorcycle Mechanics, my bike is also appearing as a feature bike in one of the forthcoming issues - not sure which one yet, but you can check out the magazine here

Thanks to all contributers to the tech forums for all the help you didn't know that you were giving me along the way ;)

      kghost,
                    I still contend that the Wing is one Hell of a good looking ride! Your 750 is no slouch
         but, your Gold Wing has really caught my attention. I'd like to hear some details on that one!
         Shame it couldn't be in contention for BOTM.

                                      I know, let it go Bill. duster, I beat you to it.
                                                            Later on, Bill

hey everyone!  i'm back from santa fe and re-onlined.  superbiker... sorry i didn't throw a pic up for you... i was in a huge rush my first day at work in santa fe and your pic was too big to load and i had no time to break out the photoshop.  seems like you got it on there ok though.

a nice group of bikes this month!  until DME wins... that's where my vote will be.  but, if kghost's wing were eligible...

           Looks like DME ran away with this one but, I never saw an official announcement. Was there one, if so, where was it posted?

Thanks all who voted for my café  :)

Really makes me proud to be the builder/owner of this bike!

I loved to be in the running against the other great bikes this month.....

Perhaps I can get nominated again with the new exhaust  ::) :P :-*

Thanks 4 everything!

DME,

     There's no doubt about it, that's one classy bike that you've created and I hope to use some of your ideas (and ideas from several other bikes here on the site). You have every right to be proud of your ride and it just seems to be getting better and better. When I ever manage to get started on mine, I hope it turns out half as good as yours and some of the others I've seen.
