Yanno, I stepped in when Heff was away, I know I keep saying that.  No one else did.

Last month people were having issues at the two nominations.  Understandable.  But catch what I said, Two Nominations for the vote.  How many this month?

Well, maybe I will spice it up a bit.  I reworded what has been going on, wide open - and that was a choice too (All of the above).  I just spread it out to bring attention to what seemed to be something going on here (BOTM) that really had very little participation to begin with.  Oh, and I let you vote three times instead of once.  I laid it out and let the members control it, I just did the typing and moved images around.

I also said I can remove or add what was wanted.  And, no, the Ladies only option was not to belittle the female members.  If anything, I was hoping to bring them out and add some spice (well that fell through).  I never said that they could not compete in this as is being assumed.  I asked if it offended any of the female members and none said it did.

So, I guess none of you have been to ladies night (prolly on Thursdays) when you went out. 

I guess Massive Babes Thread is just fine and dandy.

On this BOTM thread, I see posts from members that I personally have not seen on the recent BOTM threads but sure come out now with problems.  To me, participate before you start beating something up.

As to the whining, grow up!

Now that Heff is back, no need for me to continue this.  Heff is was yours, still is yours and you are going to yank it back from me next month anyway - thanks for asking?!?!

This is my resignation from being a moderator for BOTM.  It is yours Heff, carry on with it.

Steve, please remove my Moderator status.  I won't want this back.

I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

well... now i guess giga has more respect for bob, steve and glenn... cuz i sure as hell haven't competed w/ them very well.   ;)

either way... its hard, even for a moderator to go against a set group of rules, such as the bike of the month guidelines, w/out some dissension. 
its also hard, even for that moderator, to not take it very personally.

giga... i understand your disgust, w/ the forum, even with me... people won't like you for the decisions you made but for the change you tried to bring about.

Did you paint your headers or are my eyes playing tricks on me?  They almost look gold.

Thanks for the link.  I was doing a search for the member "FNG" to see all previous posts.  His member name is actually bndgkmf.  Nice bike!

Here are some other shots of my 550.  I should still try to get some more current ones, but I am moving next weekend, so I have very little free time to dust her off and clean her up for shots.
