Nominations for BOTM June 2018
« on: May 09, 2018, 04:42:13 PM »
Admittedly, the competition is brutal this round.  Are there any contenders to take on Vincent's CR for the Street?

Nominations are only open until May 15th!

The Park Racer is an awesome rider.  Are you referring to the August 2017 BOTM?  I don't think Ofreen's mile-eater 750 was pro-built.  http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,167150.0.html
I'm confused because I think the Park Racer was up more than once but that was the last time I could recall.

Well, at least the Big-Bang Theory won September 2017 BOTM!!

Stev-o,
You build great bikes that people want to ride the bejeesus out of and you do ride them.  I do understand the frustration of having to match these up with trailer queens or professional custom builders.  In a perfect world, Vincent's CR would match up nicely with H2Eric's CR race replica.  Unfortunately we do not have sub-categories in the BOTM contest.
PS - I still like your bikes!

No, referring to March 2017.  The other bike was built by Goddfrey.

BTW - Ofreens bike was Pro built....by Honda!!!
