Yes, it's that time again, and I suspect projects are completing or getting darn close.

SOHC4 Cafe Racer Fan · « **Reply #1 on:** March 03, 2016, 11:35:45 AM »

Day Three and not a single nomination. Are there no new bikes completed that are worthy? Are there any eligible bikes completed in the past that are not worthy?

Well my bike got completed like a month or so ago after 5 years and 8k spent but you can't nominate yourself

seanbarney41 · « **Reply #3 on:** March 04, 2016, 01:45:04 PM »

James...we need more pictures of your neighbor before we can decide if your bike is worthy of nomination.

That bike underwent some serious frame mods. Pretty cool bike!

Ha! Why take normal photos? Fine. Here is a couple normal ones

Oh and thanks SeanBarney for the nomination! Do I wish I would have the $8000 bucks back and the 5 years on/off spent on the bike back? ...... no comment

You know I was thinking about this but has anyone ever taken really good night photography of their bike?

I honestly can't remember if I have ever seen good night photography of any SOCH4's...hmm maybe when that stupid outdoor water restriction gets lifted I'll dump like 200 gallons of water on the ground and take some photos

seanbarney41 · « **Reply #20 on:** March 08, 2016, 05:51:02 PM »

Your welcome James, and I am surprised no one has seconded it yet...prego girl pics or not, it looks like a very nice little bike.

Thank you, it's the mac 4 into 1 setup. Cops generally have no idea what was standard equipment on a 1973 honda, and bikes of that age aren't required to have signals unless they came with them. Long story short I get away with it.

SOHC4 Cafe Racer Fan · « **Reply #27 on:** March 09, 2016, 05:45:59 PM »

Lucky you. The traffic cops tend to be more informed or ticket-inclined here.

SOHC4 Cafe Racer Fan · « **Reply #28 on:** March 12, 2016, 07:35:20 AM »

Seconded. How did we let this one slip through the cracks last year? Probably because it was built so damn fast, the short build thread squeaked by.

No mirrors, no tail light, no fenders, no chain guard either. I take it that you are not actually putting any mileage on it.

The EBC rotor's bird-wing pattern, and the parked cars give it away for otherwise, I would swear these pictures were taken in the 70 when the bike was picked up new from the dealership. The sticker on the speedometer makes the illusion perfect. Awesome.

jag767 · « **Reply #31 on:** March 15, 2016, 02:16:11 AM »

You missed one mirror haha. The tail light is on the plate mount, I take it off for pictures, it bolts onto the left shock mount. Takes less time than blurring my plate.. I hate the look of fenders and chain guards, never had an issue. Also, neither are required for inspection here. At least the guy i go to for my inspection does not care. As far as riding it, I'm going to dmv tomorrow, once registered it'll be ridden regularly. I usually do 200 miles a week on my bikes.

Just don't ride in the rain.

The seat blends in very nicely. Custom-made?

Never! Im allergic to the stuff!

Thanks! I purchased it and modified the shape, then had it recovered with a hide I purchased. The paint on the tank was color matched. It was honestly a happy accident that off the shelf it already was 90% of the way there to fitting the bike.

But I bet he hopes to use it regularly as a commuter/social rider. More power to the guy for getting it done.

+1. Why knock the guy just 'cause he's different? Personally, I have 0 desire to ride a bike in cold temps looking at snow, that sounds crazy.
I like snow, just prefer to have skis on or a snowmobile under me to properly enjoy it!

jag767 · « **Reply #36 on:** March 15, 2016, 07:10:07 AM »

You guys are right on all counts. I don't think I ride more than 20 miles in any direction. And if there's a cloud in the sky the bike stays in the garage haha.

I was even more surprised that James went silent after Retro seconded the nomination.

I guess there's always next month; no 3-month waiting period since the bike didn't make it to voting.

Thanks for the nomination Cal. Much appreciated to be recognized by your Peers.
