I know Spikybike's winner is an ex-bike, but still gets my vote!

Well, I've got it narrowed down to 4 choices... now I've just got to pick one to vote for...

...man... this is a tough choice...

Wow! That June bike looks just like the one I picked-up last June. Except, I had a bit of work to get it looking that good. Its got to be the best looking to me.

All great bikes but just for the classic nature, Johnnie gets my vote ;-) Blackhog was a close second...

I guess when mec gets his completed, nominate it for BOTM and then it will get put in BOTY if it wins. That frame is sweet.

HavocTurbo has a nice bike as well. Ecosse needed a towel for the drool when he found it.

From the list in the sig, that might be all of them. But this one was the CB750 he posted a few days ago in a thread.

Just so no one finds theirs and complains..... None of the CB750's (drag or otherwise) are or were ever ACTUALLY mine. Some are customers/friends. Some are lucky internet finds.

I've built quite a few for racing (street/strip/track) but sadly could never own my own or work on it. Picked one up a couple years ago in boxes.... Sadly she has never been really out of those said boxes.

I plan to change that this summer.

Perty flippin' amazing actually.

All are very deserving but it didn't take me long to narrow it down and post my pick.What makes it so hard to pick is the variety.....stock,chop,cafe......the size.....350,400,550,750. All of these bikes have time,thought,and butt-loads of cash in them.You just have to consider a lot of stuff before you narrow it down to one!!!

bill440cars · « **Reply #14 on:** January 15, 2009, 09:03:15 PM »

Lots of great examples of different styles and all, but I've made MY choice. Got it down to three and then, with some thought, down to one.

Sure does seem funny to have so long to get the old vote in though.

Ecosse · « **Reply #15 on:** January 17, 2009, 07:32:08 PM »

God that was tough.

blackhog02 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 17, 2009, 07:41:38 PM »

Man that was tough to decide and my bike is in the running. Those are all great bikes. the pic of my bike is pretty blurry so I am posting a better pic of it. Congratulations to everyone - great job. I would love to have any of those bikes in my garage!!

ha ha ha ha lol please tell me that leopard bike is owned by a chic , wow thats hilarious, is it the gaybar hopper ha haha i'm gonna have to pass that one around

now you guy see the ignorant, narrow minded, f@ckers i have to deal with all the time

first of all, Fatty ....Nice first post, your gonna make lots of friends here ....secondly, i'd be willing to bet that where ever you are if a leopard casually walked into the room you would scream like a litttle girl, and most likely piss yourself

so why don't you stuff a few more doughnuts in your mouth, crack open that diet coke and shut the f@ck up .

if you would actually take the time to look into the build threads and the fabrication involved you might think twice before you pulled your head out of your ass to shove your foot in your mouth...

SteveD CB500F · « **Reply #20 on:** January 27, 2009, 08:24:42 AM »

Cool it guys.

Mr Fatty... not a good start. Please apologise or I will be forced to moderate your posts from now on.

Spikey - calm down. Let the Mods deal with it. We all appreciate your work.

Steve

Soos · « **Reply #21 on:** January 27, 2009, 08:25:42 AM »

Sorry spikey, although I REALLY appreciate the effort in your build, I had to go with paulages.

Good luck all!

Spikey

For all that you've had to endure this past year, including the ignorant comments from the red necks, BOTY would be a fitting and deserved honor.

Good luck.
Jimmy

Some people just don't apreciate fine art, it's idiots like that, who look at a Van Gogh and say my kid could do that.

Congrats on the win.

Spikeybike · « **Reply #24 on:** January 27, 2009, 10:32:30 AM »

WHOA!!!! i was so up in arms over Mr.butterpants i didn't even notice i was winning

i soooo honored to make it this far , all of the bikes here are deserving of the honor.

as far as an apoligy, i don't need one. he feels that way,fine . it's nothing i haven't heard before (seriuosly, i get that alot, almost word for word) that's the price you pay sometimes for going against the grain. just never expected to see it here (a harley forum maybe

)

i don't expect addmiration from everyone, i DO expect respect on these boards, this is my home , i'm here everyday, this are my family.

don't come in my house and spit on my carpet

some people you just cant change, out on the street , this would get ugly, here at SOHC4, i turn the other cheek (for now)
