1.2.3. Nominate
who's bike do you appreciate?

ProTeal55 · « **Reply #1 on:** April 02, 2007, 11:40:48 AM »

I might be alittle biased, but I am going to nominate my buddy Chris's (CURSED1) 1974 CB750...

Bike turned out great, and is a blast to ride...

heffay · « **Reply #2 on:** April 02, 2007, 11:49:38 AM »

i'll second those whitewalls!

KB02 · « **Reply #3 on:** April 02, 2007, 12:37:19 PM »

It's hard to fight against that bike, but for shear creativity I've got to nominate SPIKEBIKES Leopard bike:

Gotta luv them white wallz...

I'd like to nominate Doug's 550 (doug_id) but I've got a PM to him to see if he thinks his bike is ready or not? Like has been said before, there are so many bikes deserving of the BOTM win.

I'll get back to you all, as soon as I know whether or not his bike is ready.

Later on, Bill

Here is the link to the thread of what my bike started as.http://www.sohc4.us/forums/index.php?topic=15613.0

I will have a few other updated pics with the new exhaust and a few other changes.

mrbreeze · « **Reply #15 on:** April 02, 2007, 07:23:25 PM »

I'll be thirding Doug's(tried to get it in last month but was late)........very nice 550....lots of time,$,& education for Doug on that one!!!!! The competition is looking real good this month.

KB02 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 02, 2007, 07:26:19 PM »

This is going to be one hell of a shoot out.

ProTeal55 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 03, 2007, 06:04:16 AM »

Two bikes from Chicago PLUS Doug's CB all fighting for the title eh ?
Should be intresting

ieism · « **Reply #18 on:** April 03, 2007, 10:11:28 AM »

That's some serious bikes this month guys. Both those cafe's are so good it's hard to pick a favorite.

Badger 5 · « **Reply #19 on:** April 03, 2007, 10:19:24 AM »

not an easy pick

kine8282 · « **Reply #20 on:** April 12, 2007, 06:52:52 PM »

I vote for Doug's bike...felt like I was right in the garage with you during your build, great job and im sure youre not done

bill440cars · « **Reply #21 on:** April 13, 2007, 05:31:45 AM »

Yeah, I agree, Doug's build was one that made you feel involved and his "Can Do" attitude about it was really something. Problems popped up and he just kept right on going. His Bike is a result of his determination. I hope I have the same outlook, when I get to get back to my 550 project. $:-\$

Later on, Bill

mrbreeze · « **Reply #22 on:** April 13, 2007, 07:51:14 PM »

I also praise Doug for his determination and for the end result but one thing to consider......it sure helps having a money tree because these parts cost bucks!!!! I have felt the pinch more than once.

My problem is, I don't even have a "Money Bush", much less a tree.

Now, I do have the "Wants" that it would take a "Money Forrest" to handle.

I know. Don't we all.

Spikeybike · « **Reply #24 on:** April 14, 2007, 07:08:14 AM »

i didnt have a money tree , most of my parts are hand made ,,dont get me wrong a money tree would have been nice ,i might have gotten the bike done alot sooner

Gordon · « **Reply #25 on:** April 15, 2007, 08:10:09 AM »

This isn't the voting thread. We're still just nominating.

Spikeybike · « **Reply #26 on:** April 15, 2007, 08:37:23 AM »

mental note: keep forum updated on every step you make, no matter how small, and they will follow you.
praise you, and vote for you, some nice brainwashing doug

....(j/k)

i think cursed has my vote, i mean dougs bike is sweet, but BOTM shouldnt be about "i'm gonna vote for the one i'm most familliar with"
it should be about witch bike is better ..... and the whitewalls plus exhaust wrap topped with black and white paint and
very clean lines= a very stiff knockout punch.
besides ,im gonna lose anyway, so i might as well try and keep the title in Chi-town (dont worry guys im not bitter

I know what you mean. I started digging into my 550 this weekend and found that the yahoo that owned the bike before me fixed a jacked up fuse box with copper wired and I found a sponge instead of an air cleaner.

That's the fun of owning a 30+ year old bike, making it yours...
Bike or not I expect to see ya at the Ton Up Chicago's Rockers Reunion this coming Saturday...
