Man!!!!!.....that sucker was pretty rough to start with. Good job!!!!

Mr. Breeze, unlike Mike's "million dollar CB", this was my $112 EBay purchase back in May. I'd bought the bike planning to use the engine in a custom framed chopper I want to build some day, but when I started tearing it down, I decided she had to become a period looking hotrod of the 70's. I've tried hard not to use anything that looks like our modern period, but also wanted to make it run and last like today's muscle bikes. Terry's oil cooler and synthetic oil should help with keeping things going a long time while the 836cc big-bore, porting, and Megacycle cam keep motivation up near the "Yahoo!" level. The old syle 4/1 Kerker just sings the 1970's rock-n-roll beautifully. I've really enjoyed this bike and it's now one of my all-time favorites. What took me so long to discover the CB750 I'll never know - 1 very well engineered piece of motorcycling's history. "Thank you Mr. Honda".

Regards,
Gordon

I vote for Gordon's bike. Just about takes my breath away...and makes me quite envious.

well, i for one, don't want to see the same old contest we just had. so, bill440 i'm nominating the racer in your avatar. it is beautiful! anyone to second this nomination?

aptech77 · « **Reply #9 on:** November 05, 2006, 10:58:54 AM »

ME, second ALL the way!!!

heffay · « **Reply #10 on:** November 05, 2006, 11:42:55 AM »

ooops

was just informed that bill's avatar is only a dream for what he would like to do to his. so, i'll keep looking for a bike i'd like to nominate.

bill440cars · « **Reply #11 on:** November 05, 2006, 12:01:56 PM »

Heffay and Jim, I really did appreciate the fact that you guys wanted, what you thought was, my bike in the BOTM nominations. I sure couldn't take credit for what I didn't do. I hope to have my 77' CB550K ready by spring or early summer but, time will tell if it would be BOTM material or not. In my book, it'd have to be pretty special and I don't know if it will rank in there with some of the others or not. I hope it does.

I was really surprised by this and acted, as soon as I saw it, to contact Heffay and Aptech (Jim) to let them know the facts. Sorry guys

Later on, Bill

Speaking of Aptech, I want to nominate his 400, just a great classic look to it

bill440cars · « **Reply #13 on:** November 05, 2006, 03:37:52 PM »

I'd like to be the one to 2nd that one.

aptech77 · « **Reply #14 on:** November 05, 2006, 05:17:59 PM »

A wise man once told me...........you must except or you may regret.......not sharing the wounderfull chance that is!!! I do except the nomination graciously. THANK YOU!!

mrbreeze · « **Reply #15 on:** November 05, 2006, 05:28:45 PM »

I will 2nd Cben's nomination for Mrieck's F bike just to get it back in here. I'm a K dude but this bike is awesome!!!

RRRToolSolutions · « **Reply #16 on:** November 05, 2006, 05:54:10 PM »

I give Mike a 3rd....98 horsepower, great looking bike, 30 years of ownership, and a lot of memories behind them both. The little blue 400 SuperSport is very nice and I haven't seen a lot of post about the smaller Fours. Either would make a great bike to win the most votes.

Thanks for the nomination and second.
I accept.

Perhaps when the voting thread starts you can share your story on that 350 Keith.. it's a nice little story. Your bike seems to have some fans here!!

heffay · « **Reply #27 on:** November 17, 2006, 09:38:03 AM »

well, the forums seem to be running extremely slow so i'm having trouble setting up the voting poll. so, i'll take this mandatory set back to bend the rules a bit and second biffta.

biffta, you have until the forums start hustling again to give your acceptance speech.

andy750 · « **Reply #28 on:** November 17, 2006, 01:18:27 PM »

Having seen Milkes bike in person I have to say that it is easily the best of all the bikes on this forum! And thats an understatement. The photos dont do justice to the time, energy, detail and engineering gone into this bike. It is the most modern CB750 you will probably ever see. Everything about this bike down to the allen bolts are carerfully picked, polished etc etc....I have never seen a bike like it. Gets my vote for sure....and this statement in no way reflects the quality of other bikes here which are all very good....its just that having seen Mikes bike I know he deserves to win this poll. Wink.....really is an amazing machine (and Ive seen a lot of CB750s!).

cheers
Andy
