Nominate for Bike Of The Month - May 2013
« on: April 04, 2013, 01:10:57 PM »
Ok guys, I was hoping to have Glenn's blessing on this but perhaps he is on holiday.
We can still do this but like you, I will be in the dark and won't know if anyone is voting or not and can't push you to vote.
I'm thinking of doing it a little different this month so that we don't loose the April BOTM.
How about if we run the May BOTM and make the runner up the April winner?

Time to get NOMINATING,  ;) if anyone would like to include the bikes that were in the ill-fated April nomination, just make your choice known.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank brother REALLY? for all the good work that he has done, good luck mate if you are still looking in.
I'll start the voting thread on the 16th of this month.

Sam. ;)

Thanks Mick, I spotted it before I left for work this morning (yes, I'm back at work after 3 months :D)

I'm restricted to what I can do without being a mod, I can't move things so I'll just have to do a re post.

I'll second Vans nice K8 since I have a similar one and these later K don't always get the love they deserve!

I great appreciate the nomination! But unfortunately I sold this bike last year...
It was my first restoration and since finishing it I had picked up a couple other bikes that were just getting more attention. So rather than letting it sit, I sold it to someone who was looking to start riding.

That bike should have brought a good price, since it participated in the first Relay. Hope the new owner appreciates what he has.
