Thank you guys for the nomination. I put a lot of heart and soul into this bike and it is nice to have that effort recognized, I do appreciate it.

Another stellar quality build.  Przjohn would double up and win 2 BOTM in one year!  Is there a third in the works for a hat trick?

Ha Ha Ha no, time to do some riding now  :)

Don't mean to Hijack a BOTM thread.

This is the 1985 I restored a few years ago. I have an '84 that is in just as nice shape that will be going too. I love the sound when both are going down the road. The CB750F will be my main rider on this trip. I let my son and some close friends ride the H1 and RZs.

Looks nice, John, thx for posting.  My buddy has a mint one but it just stays in his living room [he's single!].  I always hound him to get it running or sell it to me, I wanna ride it!

Would be best to post more pics in the voting thread and also tell the story of when you bought the bike and what all you've done to it.

Don should start the voting thread in the next day or two.
