I'd like to nominate beemerbum's 71 CB750 he just finished.
Could someone please give me a brief tutorial on how the nomination/voting process works. I have lurked around here for quite some time. Computer illiteracy is my problem

Quite simple Beemerbum, someone nominates you and when it has been seconded (which it has) then you just need to say that you accept the nomination.
Half way through the month, Don will bring in the voting function, people vote and at the end of the month we hopefully have a clear winner.
At the end of the year, all winners go into the Bike of the Year competition and the voting starts immediately.

Good luck. Sam.

Thanks Cal.

Thank you everyone including Sam Green and Bill Benton of course - I will follow up w/Bill and get additional build information from him.

In the meantime, here are a few additional photos and a Google Photo Album link to the build - note, the photos my not appear in order.

I will update this post/thread by early next week. Thanks all! (and again all credit should go to Bill Benton).

Beemerbum,
Don't forget to accept the nomination, or your bike will not be eligible for voting!

Yes, thanks!!

And Drew is on his way back to accept, hahhahaha.

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #32 on:** August 03, 2018, 11:54:44 AM »

Brent would have won hands down! Now that is a custom race bike, when I think of 500/550/650 4's his is the best. Sam, thanks, I really appreciate it. I'm sure Drew does also. But I wasn't going to nominate one I built, doesn't seem quite right. But thanks again, it's been a fun build, Bill

Drew_ATL · « **Reply #33 on:** August 03, 2018, 01:38:08 PM »

I officially accept- may the best bike win.

Seconded.

Don - seems there is one more higher resolution pic on his thread...
I am honored to accept the nomination. Here are some better photos of my bike and a few shots of progress. I started the cleaning process before I thought to take some photos.

Damn Don, this is hard work, hahahaha.

Come on Beemerbum, say you accept the nomination, we know you want to be in it because you have posted more pics of your bike but you need to say that you accept the nomination before you are included.

Sam.
