i'd like to start off by nominating tee-es-ef-el-stub.

the only reason i voted for okie last month, over tsflstb, was based on the fact that i see what's left of my rust bucket parts bike 74 cb350f... and i see what IS okie's beautifully pristine black 74 cb350f... this month, tsflstb won't be runner up!

Second that.

Can I second someone and nominate someone else at the same time? If so...

Andy750's shiny cafe.

I'd like to nominate freezingprocess's 1976 CB550 (hey, just like mine!).

Wow thanks guys you are too kind. Can I include its alter ego - sunrise orange cafe (same bike, different tank ;-)).

I know I have no chance against these other great bikes but its an honour to be nominated!

cheers
Andy

I am debating whether or not to nominate Chopstar's freshly finished scoot.

Nothing like making a tough decision tougher...

TedT · « **Reply #13 on:** July 03, 2008, 08:18:10 PM »

I'm going to have to nominate CharlieT's CB400/RC172 Replica. Having seen it as a clapped-out piece of crusher bait, I'm amazed at how it looks now.

And one day soon there will be video of this thing and it's wail. Make sure your speakers and eardrums are ready for it, it's something to behold.

Jeff · « **Reply #14 on:** July 03, 2008, 08:31:47 PM »

Holy crap this is going to be an even harder vote than the last one!

alltherightpills · « **Reply #16 on:** July 03, 2008, 09:20:30 PM »

Yep, all done and I think it needs to be nominated.

Phxmark123 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 04, 2008, 06:07:16 AM »

Another nomination for Chopstars from me. Sweet.

bill440cars · « **Reply #18 on:** July 04, 2008, 12:24:43 PM »

Oh Man, Here We Go Again! With all these great bikes to pick from, sure am glad that we've got a bit of time to ponder.

tsflstb

Andy750's Cafe

freezingprocess's 76' CB550

hymodyne's Faired Cafe

chopstar's bike

and Charlie T's replica

Instead of just having 1 winner, is it possible to have........ say.......uh............6 winners?

Yeah, I know....I know, we can only have 1 winner.
Back to the salt mine!

I'll second CharlieT's to make it official.

Duh me, I hadn't even noticed that Charlie's needed a 2nd!

dustyc · « **Reply #21 on:** July 04, 2008, 04:14:50 PM »

I think the rules state that the nominee must also accept the nomination.

But I don't know how closely we stick to that.

You are right, the nominee is supposed to accept the nomination to make it official, according to the rules.

i swear this is torture. all of these bikes are beautiful..

hey andy, would you happen to have a larger picture of your CB in front of the tree? those shades of orange are mesmerizing.

I've tried to stick to the rules as much as possible but there was one contest about 2 months ago that none of the nominees accepted so i just let it go.

the reason for accepting a nomination is to allow the people that are interested... in the site, keep up w/ the bike of the month threads, check in every so often, etc... to ultimately be the winners. the idea is to keep mister one post from winning something he had no idea of.

there was also a recent contest that just didn't go... hmmm, wonder what that was all about!?

after more than a year of setting up 2 threads per month for bike of the month, i get forgetful sometimes
