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

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?

Hey I am getting it sorted out as we speak. New OEM gas cap and switching out the K&n pods for stock filter and then having it resync'd. So take that :)

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

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.
