sorry guys, i' ve been working my arse off since i got out of school a week ago and need to make some serious moula. on top of that, both mine and the gf's PC's are down so i'm using the old mac g3 that is pretty much good for nothing except surfing REEEAAAALLY SLOOOOOWLY. so, as some of you may have noticed... my interest in the forum is waneing for the time being until we get the PC back online.

anyway, enuf excuses, NOMINATE AWAY!!

bill, since you've been excellent at reminding me... i would be ok w/ letting you (and you only) set up the nomination threads if i fail to do so in a timely fashion. i will continue to set up the voting thread though, just because it is somewhat tedious and people can continue to blame me if a mistake occurs.

by the way, if any of you still need a congratulatory pin for winning a BOTM contest, please let me know.

I'll get the ball rolling then, and nominate Proteal's 750 again

I'll second the nom for ProTeal's 750.

ProTeal55 · « **Reply #8 on:** June 08, 2007, 11:52:50 PM »

I gladly accept the nomination (thanks guys)..

bill440cars · « **Reply #9 on:** June 09, 2007, 06:39:46 PM »

Well, I'm nominating once again going to nominate 6pk's 750F, cause that is one Sweet Ride, especially if you could have seen what it went through to get to where it is now!

Later on, Bill

Cant we have some different bikes for a change? Nominating the same ones over and over again seems a bit redundant to me....

...this is not a slight on the above bikes being nominated but it would be good to give other people a chance as well.

On that note I nominate Wulfhruntings bike - very clean.

I'll second 6pk's 750F. I really like the fact that he's kept it near original in appearance and in good shape for all of these years. It's obvious that an owner "loves" his bike when they keep it true to it's original form. The cafe bikes just hit me as works to make the bike something it never was and never will be - a cafe racer.

I love seeing the bikes as they were. If someone really has talents and ability out of this world - I'll always give appreciation for same, but it's got to be true creation, not copy.

Go the originals!

Thanks, I accept. She's coming along; but, I still have quite a bit to do.

2nd nomination for Bob Wessner K0 resto

Bob Wessner · « **Reply #17 on:** June 12, 2007, 02:58:27 AM »

Thanks, I guess I accept, but there are far better examples of stock here that would stand closer scrutiny I'm sure, such as toycollector or 736cc himself.

super pasty white guy · « **Reply #18 on:** June 12, 2007, 03:46:46 AM »

Perhaps I've missed it... but I nominate Sam and Chris's CR750.

andy750 · « **Reply #19 on:** June 12, 2007, 05:01:23 AM »

Ill second Sams CR750 :-)

cheers

CrisPDuk · « **Reply #20 on:** June 12, 2007, 05:10:41 AM »

I've always wanted to ask this but never got round to it.

Is that a genuine CR Sam, or is it a bloody good reproduction?

Either way it's as

as feck

That's a bit harsh Gordon

Just because the look of the finished items do not appeal to you personally, doesn't mean you can say people like Doug, DME, Stevie Mac, et al don't love their bikes

When you look at the amount of time, effort and money they've put into them, I'd say the opposite is obviously the truth.

Besides, if they were never intended to be racers, how did the CRs come about

Well said ChrisP. Others are entitled to their own opinions of what they like and don't like of course, but there is too much genealization in most of the opinions... (especially when it comes to original vs cafe vs chopper, etc.) and that is what I have the problem with. Don't like a bike? Fine, say it, but don't make generalzations about an owner (unless you personally know them) and worse yet, owners of similiar type bikes or mindsets.

I've heard Cafe owners, 'Don't love their bikes', 'don't appreciate their history', etc. All BS! While it may be true in some cases, these generalizations cannot be applied to all.

I love and appreciate all motorcycles. I love history, but I'm also tend to be drawn to the racier side of things. CB's were the sportbikes of their day. People cafed bikes to 'try' to make them better and to look more like race bikes. Today, the factories do it for us. I take it people are still attracted to the look of vintage race bikes or they wouldn't be creating cafe bikes.

I love the looks of the cafe bikes, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate the original bike. I was actually going to nominate BobW's CB this month, but someone beat me to it.

I think someone already seconded it... so if it needs a third... I third it.

I thought theres no such thing as an orig CR750. They weren't sold RTR, they were parts kits.
