I nominate Mikeb4's 77' cb750

loonymoon · « **Reply #2 on:** September 03, 2006, 05:54:14 AM »

because I found this in the gallery and then realised he'd been nominated last month. I nominate Andy Harrisons lovely 400/4 cafe which somehow looks more 60's than some 60's bikes!! (Must be the colour scheme.

loonymoon · « **Reply #3 on:** September 03, 2006, 05:59:30 AM »

And just to even things up a bit I'd like to nominate a near stocker... Jack Burritt's CB750

clarkjh · « **Reply #4 on:** September 03, 2006, 06:27:05 AM »

I'll second Jack's 750

Am I too late to nominate 6pkrunner's F3? I'd post the picture of it but, I don't know how yet.
Could somebody give me a hand? His F3 is a fine example of a SOHC4 and I don't know why I (or
someone) didn't think to do it sooner.

Later on, Bill

Thanks for the nomination again.
As for looking '60s', this is what happens when you lust after a Manx Norton, purely for the look of the thing, but have no money for one. Then you wander into the garage one night, and your gaze falls upon a dusty old 400 languishing in the corner....
(I can't seem to get any more pix into the gallery, but there are some more of the old girl on Bikepics.com, look under 1975 CB400, Skidpan.)

6pkrunner doesn't have a pic up in the gallery or at least my kwik check didn't turn one up. if you know where one is, here is what to do:
1. put cursor over pic
2. right mouse click
3. save picture
4. to desktop
5. go to post to this thread
6. before hitting the post button click additional options directly below the posting window
7. click browse
8. find desktop
9. double left click the picture you just saved to your desktop
10. click post

This is the best I could do on short notice. Hey 6pk give me a hand here. Bill

Well, apparently it didn't work. I'll keep on trying.

bill440cars · « **Reply #12 on:** September 04, 2006, 08:41:42 PM »

Maybe this time?

bill440cars · « **Reply #13 on:** September 04, 2006, 08:46:31 PM »

Thanks there heffay, couldn't have done it without you. Now, what do ya say, is 6pk in the
running? This is one sweet looking ride, don't ya think?

Later on, Bill

Wow! I'm blown away for the nomination.

Thanks you very much, it means a lot. There has been (and is) some stellar machinery in the BOTM series.

Who is the owner of Mike B4's 750? I saw it on ebay a couple weeks back.

A great guy from Brooklyn NY bought the bike, I just shipped it to him. I'll link him over to the site so he can see what's cookin'.

Thanks so much for the nomination, would love to run the bike in the contest!

Mike

yoomit · « **Reply #20 on:** September 06, 2006, 05:55:48 PM »

that guy from brooklyn would be me!
Mike's a great guy...he took a lot of care and passion into building this one-off.
i'm not only stoked to get this thing (picking it up this saturday

) but privileged to receive it from a class act like Mike.

let's definitely nominate this baby for bike of the month...i'm sure she'll be pretty competitive.

thanks again, Mike!

Anyone know whether Jack Burritt knows he's been nominated. what's his handle so I can PM him?

ProTeal55 · « **Reply #22 on:** September 07, 2006, 01:04:38 PM »

I am blow away that you guys think Project JUnK is worthy of the BOTM title.
I gladly accept the nomination....

aptech77 · « **Reply #23 on:** September 08, 2006, 06:51:15 PM »

Chalk another one up for Andy's caffeinated 400F. All the bike mentioned I would drool over, but I must stand with my fellow caffeinated 400F brother. What a bike!

jsaab2748 · « **Reply #24 on:** September 10, 2006, 10:20:21 PM »

Anyone know if there's a pic anywhere of Mriek's "million dollar CB"? Not to take away from any of
the other nominations as they are ALL beautiful machines, but Mr. Riek has a FINE EXAMPLE of a "modernized"
classic sportbike. If this counts, and it hasn't won previously, I nominate his 750 SS .
