you know what would be cool... if in future contests... we don't narrow it down to just stock or cafe or whatever.  i'd like to mix it up a bit rather than vote on bikes that all just look the same.  how are we supposed to choose?!

Damn those are testaments to their owners, can't be perichial but I'll vote for Phil's wee 350f, they are such honeys.
I'm kinda thinking there are some beautiful examples of so many models that a burn off between all the 4's is required.
350f vs 350f 400f v 400f and then it gets real interesting with all the 500/550 variants damn that would be a great comp.
Well done to the owners of such fine machinery anyway, even if you don't win here I bet you get the public attention vote. ;D
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

Nice bikes again!

Here's what I would like as a one off BOTM:
The bikes with their owners. So you'll have to show pictures of you riding or sitting on the bike. Extra points for the best 70's hairdoo, jacket, helmet etc.

Excellent bikes all, but that Gold paint is really outstanding!
There are old bikers and there are bold bikers but there are very few old, bold bikers.

Congrats to Fisherman_Phil on a sweet 350F!  I can still picture the first time i saw one of those when I was a kid.  It was parked in the BIKE RACK with bicycles at the swimming pool.  I distinctly remember the pipes the most.  Nice ride!

Hi all ... I just checked to see how things are going with the voting comments, and  YAHOOOOO. My bike does it.
Thanks to everyone that voted for my little CB350F. I know it was tough this time around as the other 2 bikes were really great as well.
I really enjoyed taking her down and rebuilding her. And having Matt building his at the same time gave me lots of encouragement to stick with it and not rush it.
To all sohc4 owners out there in the middle of a build or planning to start one, I wish your project well and that you get the enjoyment just as I did. And likewise to those that want to alter things a little or a lot to give their bike that special look. There are just so many great looking bikes in this forum.
Thanks all. Thankyou very much.
Cheers ... Phil in NZ
