I hope there isn't a limit on how many consecutive nominations one can make ;)

I love early Ks, especially stocks, so I'd like to nominate (if I can) KC's K2 that he rebuilt as a K1

That's ok as long as it hasn't won before and hasn't been nominated in the last 6 months.
If so, it just needs seconding and accepting. last month proved a stocker can win over a couple of very nice specials.

Rule 9 guys, if you nominate, it's up to you to tell the person you have nominated.  ;)

9.   If you nominate a person, once the nomination has been seconded, the nominator should contact the person he has nominated along with a link to the thread so that the person nominated has the chance to respond. Remember lots of people on the forum only visit certain sections and might not even know about BOTM.

Heard back from KC, he will drop a line later this evening.

This will be great, Red vs Gold, a debate that's been in my head for a while ;) which means this will be a painful choice for me  :-\

Well EdwardMorris emailed me and asked if It would be OK if he nominated my CB for BOTM.  I emailed back and declined because
it was a contender last year.  He went ahead and nominated it before he got my email back so I guess I will reconsider and accept the
nomination.  Thanks guys.

yay KC glad you're on board! it's a beautiful bike. Sam and I agreed that after a period of time, a bike can be re-nominated again. so far a stocker gold, a stocker red, and I would like to nominate Cadunkle's K1, a beautiful blue stocker ;) hoping we can get a battle of the early K stockers going!

@Chef, I second Cadunkle's blue beauty.

@KC, sorry about that, I got a little impatient  there :-[ but I'm glad you've reconsidered and accepted.

I am not buying that the behemoth from Bill is a real thing  :o is it?

Mine still in the planning stages....got to get with my chassis builder......he might be interested! Three 915cc CycleX kits, 3 MR Stage III heads, 4's mean another's $3-4000.00. Have a rear wheel already. I'd rather build a triple/ replica than do Bonneville etc. Damn, if we had funding, we could do it! Oh well back to reality! Damn, that would be cool, guess I better work with what I got? A man can dream! ;D

May want to hold his nomination until next month. Then we can put him up against some other non-stockers? It's going to be awfully tight with three 750 restorations to have Seth run his modern bike. He might just deserve a better group of bikes? How's your 550 Don? Maybe a contender for next month too?
