Photos needed for Bike of the Year
« on: November 01, 2017, 02:05:12 PM »
Because of the Photobucket fiasco, many BOTM winner threads no longer have photos imbedded.  Please restore or post some new photos, so photos of your bike can be displayed in voting for Bike of the Year 2017:

Dnor72’s 1973 CB350F Restoration (February 2017 BOTM)

bandit1298's 1978 CB750K8 "Asian Orange" built by Godffery (March 2017 BOTM)

Cameron aka RustyOlive's 1978 CB550/650 "Olivia" (April 2017 BOTM)

sorcerer aka Russ Collins, Jr.'s CB750K 836 Drag Bike Tribute to Russ Collins, Sr. (May 2017 BOTM)

Greg's/Ofreen's 158,000 mile 1975 CB750F (August 2017 BOTM)

PM's sent to the members listed above seeking photos. 

bandit1298 is no longer listed as a member so I sent a PM to Godffery in the hopes of getting to bandit1298.

If anyone has good photos of these bikes, please send them to me or post them in this thread.  I want to get the poll started but I'd prefer that the candidate bikes have photos.

Hey Don....here's a link to Asian Orange, interesting enough, it is listed as Godffrey being the owner of the bike? [repossessed?!]

PS. Once you get all the photos, can you please email them to me?
If I get enough response, I may put a 2018 SOHC calendar together featuring these bikes.

No Stev-0.  I have photos of the build process that I was involved in, for the owner, that's how I advertise my work.  ::)

Also; For additional pix, Here is a link to an article in Rocket Garage:  https://rocket-garage.blogspot.com/2017/02/wheeled-street-rod.html

I have photos compiled for all but:

Dnor72’s 1973 CB350F Restoration (February 2017 BOTM)

I sent him a PM but have not heard anything from him.  If anyone knows him, please let him know.  He was last active yesterday.

 We'll be sending pics of Asian Orange in the next day or two. BTW if you want to reach me it's Zenfiddy78, not Bandit1298. I made the change about the same time as the  BOTM voting for March. There were already some using the "Bandit" name so I wanted something different.
And yes the bike belongs to me.

 I would be into getting a calendar (perhaps more than one)

Do you have one at least one out on the road?  [instead of in driveway or garage]
