Albundy,

Per BOTM Rule 9, please contact budman:

9.   If you nominate a person, once the nomination has been seconded, the nominator should contact the person he has nominated along with a link to the thread so that the person nominated has the chance to respond. Remember lots of people on the forum only visit certain sections and might not even know about BOTM.

I like Bud's bike too, like everything he does, it's a very professional looking build. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Thank you Al and Bob for the nomination.  It's very humbling that my project is considered worthy of BOTM, especially with so many beautiful motorcycles and in the company of so many talented and friendly motorcycle folks.

I'll accept the nomination, but would also like to nominate Palepainter's 750f.  Can I do that?

Can I get a second?

Thank you for the consideration fellas.  My bike is a low buck build, not sure it really deserves to be in the same category as the rest of the bikes here. But if it helps to add interest, I will accept. the nomination  Thank you.

Unfortunately, Greg aka Tsunami is still working to complete his bike. A nomination will need to wait.
