I will second IF James is still in possession of the bike.  This bike  was restored for a customer.  If he is no longer in possession of it, it is against the rules.

It looks like the bike I nominated is out of it yet again as the owner is working away but he did send me a PM which I didn't see for some reason saying he had put it in his diary to make sure he accepts in January, that makes it the Feb BOTM. haha.

Ok Andy, we run a month behind and I tried to nominate you for the February BOTM  but when I tried to remind you I got that I was blocked.
So here we go again. You need to go to the February nominations and wait for someone to second it and then say that you accept.

Hi Sam.
I'm back and watching for someone to second it. Sorry about all this. I've checked my mail settings but can't see anywhere I've accidentally blocked messages. I've deleted that post with all the images, shall I repost in the Feb BOTM page?
Cheers!
