Ha... I saw that coming.  But let's be honest here... which one of us doesn't have a bromance with Rafi after that K2 BOTY build?

I thought this was more focused on BOTM bikes, but if it's an open casting call here are some more photos of my other bike 1977 CB750K photographed in Orange, CA ...

I reached out (PM) to all the BOTM finalists to email me a link (or attachment) of their pictures directly - hoping to put together a BOTM calendar ASAP.  So, yes, this thread is an open casting call.  Hopefully we can get enough pictures and do some sort of vote in order to put together another calendar by the end of the month.

Thanks!

If you put one of those BOTM calenders together by the end of the month I feel like you'd have a TON of orders, mine included. Better be ready to print!!  ;D

Well, I'm not 100% how the logistics work with Lulu.com... and I still need all the BOTY finalists (BOTM winners) to send me their pictures... but I'm working on it!

Thanks,

Makes me miss NJ.  Where in NJ is this?  I grew up in Phillipsburg.  Such a beautiful picture.

For what it's worth, here is a picture of my 750 K6 at Sandy Hook Light House. 

Now if you can get a picture from the West Coast showing the Ocean or a West Coast Light House we could have

I entered the Motor Muster at Greenfield Village this year for the first time and grabbed this photo of my CB with the recently restored 1897 Baldwin 4-4-0.


I have a 6MB version as well and of course you may use the photo if you desire.
