Mine's recently "finished", in that you can ride it, but Is anyone EVER really "finished"? Every time I look at my bike I want to add something new to it. LOL I believe there were actually some sort of rule set as to the qualifications for the motorcycle to be entered in the bike of the month. I would think that at least a relative state of completion would be important or people would start entering the stack of parts in their garage as a nomination....(no they wouldn't...would they? hmmm....)

Mine is finished. I fixed the kickstand today. It's not the most unique bike but I think it has character.

If it's possible I would nominate stuartinis bike again.

Sorry guys but i just think its stupid to nominate someones bike 2 months in a row, it should be 6 months apart at least , you lose , you lose, Its someone elses turn. what , do we start renominating everyone that loses until they win...?   Plenty of bikes on the forum, lets give someone else a chance, nothing personal Stuartini....

Your too kind free booter. I've done the paint, added the fairing, megaphone and drag bar. Also the flush blinkers. I won't do a solo seat until my lady gets her own bike. Looking for a cb or cl350.
