I'll second Scott's 500/650. He's had that bike done 3 separate times, every iteration is nicer than the last.

Pictures don't do it justice

I'll nom GV1390's bratstyle/cafe cb550.

Scott S · « **Reply #7 on:** August 07, 2013, 04:51:09 pm »

Thanks, guys! I graciously accept!

I'm digging GV1390's bike, too!

736cc · « **Reply #8 on:** August 07, 2013, 05:08:03 pm »

Thank you, this motorcycle accepts the nom. There's quite an interesting history behind this motorcycle, and hopefully an appropriate future (museum or important collection anyone?). Currently it is in my studio doing what it does best.

I freakin' love that bike, and don't blame you for not riding it...but by the looks of it, that is definately not what it does best!

Thank you sir!

Thanks for the nomination Nick. If it wasn't for him my bike would never be where it is today.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #11 on:** August 09, 2013, 02:00:24 am »

736cc and Scott S have been seconded and accepted.
I'll second the other two (Tactical and GV1390 bikes).
These two people now need to accept the nominations.

Sam.

love GV1390's bratstyle/cafe cb550

GV1390 · « **Reply #13 on:** August 09, 2013, 08:11:01 am »

Thank you!

I 'accept" the nomination!

Also, bummer my Carpy exhaust wasn't on for that last pic that was shot on a GoPro, oh well.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #14 on:** August 09, 2013, 09:11:46 am »

I saw your PM but was unable to connect to the forum for a few hours, I guess you did it all by yourself anyway.

Sam.

She sure is purty!!!!!!!!!!

Would you be able to post a video of how she sounds?

I do not think he have ever had a video of a bike running that was nominated...

736cc · « **Reply #17 on:** August 11, 2013, 12:01:06 pm »

Youtube or even computers weren't even invented the last time this thing ran. And some of you weren't even born! It's going to stay retired and untouched except occasional shows and correct detailing. No electric starter, no idle circuits in the CR31 carbs, full advance locked on the ARD magneto, stale Goodyear racing slicks, no brakes, and no fluids on a perfectly preserved 35 year old-school build gives new meaning to the wise old saying "don't fix it if it ain't broke".
Probably sounds like much too loud HM300's w/ no baffles.

Just in case you think I don't ride, this ain't my 1st CB750, but its the one of the more interesting. I stopped counting around 40 prime early examples that I've owned/restored/flogged since 1998.This bike took 1st place at Mid-Ohio VMD in 2012 (I also took 1st in 2004 for my restored gold Sandcast that I rode daily for years) Hmmm.

No need for explanations, 736. We've seen your beautiful bikes. Second to none.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #20 on:** August 11, 2013, 04:12:46 pm »

Did you read it properly

8. If the motorcycle is a rebuild or restoration, it must be at the completed stage and RUNNING. In the case of a show bike or museum piece, it will be at the Moderators decision to allow it into the competition and only providing that it was common knowledge that it was not intended to be a runner when it was nominated. Knowing many of these bikes are never finished in the owners eyes, we will take the owners word for it that it is in some form of completed stage.

Andy, your bike was known to be a show/museum piece and therefore it is eligible.

Sam.

davidtime · « **Reply #21 on:** August 11, 2013, 04:16:31 pm »

Awesome. I know where my vote is.

scottly · « **Reply #22 on:** August 11, 2013, 10:42:17 pm »

I would like to nominate Rookster's Dunstall.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #23 on:** August 12, 2013, 01:42:44 am »

I'll second that one Scott.

Sam.

Tews19 · « **Reply #24 on:** August 12, 2013, 12:11:45 pm »

I nominate this 500 beauty!
