Topic: NOMINATE for Bike Of The Month - March 2009

[Really?]

Nominate a Cafe-ish bike for March 2009 BOTM

Most of us have an idea of what this bike would look like.  The basic minimum I can come up with (with help) is street legal, low handlebars (euro or lower) and a flat seat (stock or otherwise).  I have heard it needs to be loud too.  So, if y'all feel additional minimums should be added or the current ones need to be altered, please let me know.  Oh, it must be a Honda, lol.

Here is my nomination.  This is ekim98's bike.



Wish I had a bigger one.

[Spikeybike]

i'll second that ... and (you guessed it)   would like to nominate Shortround's   "Trixy"

[Really?]

Somehow I knew you would nominate shortrounds bike, lol.

Trixy is seconded.

[UnCrash]

I believe that this bike is just a little more -ish than cafe but it is a racer!

I nominate mec's Elgi

[ekim98]

 Sure I'll accept, but I won't hold my breath with all the great bikes on this forum.
 I just got back on line again. We had that ice storm and lost power on Jan.27th.

I haven't read the thread for this bike in a while but is this bike finished?

[78CB750CAFE]

Mec's bike is in a class by itself, I mean how can even a REALLY nicely done cafe treatment compete with a one off custom frame made by the owner himself, as well as the hundred other super cool race mods on that bike? Maybe save that nomination for racer month, or simply dub it ***BIKE OF THE YEAR (CENTURY??)*** right now and be done with it.

That thing is a work of art, but its NOT a cafe bike, its a RACER.
Maybe we should make "Street Legal" part of the requirements for this month?
Just my 2 cents.
Mec believe me I LOVE your bike, I am definitely not "hating" on it.

I agree with you Drew, on everything you said.  Member decision for this one.  If I get up to a 5th, the bolded area will be added to the minimum requirements.

Ok, for this cafe nomination I can completely agree that Street Legal is part and parcel of the Cafe culture.

I'll take back my nomination and reserve the right to re-nominate for a more appropriately themed month 

[Retro Rocket]

Not trying to stir the pot but i see no reason why Mec's bike wouldn't be street legal, but i also agree that it is a racer rather than a cafe bike.

Whew, thanks UnCrash.  Now maybe we will get more nominations.  mec's bike would scare anything off.

Yup, a more appropriately themed month would be kewl.

[Really?]

Street Legal has been added to the minimum requirements.


We could use some more nominations.  I made a suggestion above.  Would MRIECK's bike be one?  If so, there is another suggestion.  Industrial Cafe might be another one but not the pics with the photoshop mods, lol.  There are some BOTM winners from last year like chopstar (I think) with Four Pack and chrislib.  Maybe even seaweb and heff.

I know there are others, the names just do not come to mind.

[Ecosse]

If he hasn't won before I'd like to nominate WJL75's 76 550K. Last pix I've seen of it say 'real world' Cafe to me.

[RM81]

I'll second that.  I'd also like to see more pictures of it from other angles.

[WJL75]

I will gladly accept.   

No new pictures for it...she's been in winter strorage for a while.  I might have to come up with some after I get back from DC next week!

Thanks for the nomination.

I was gonna second Mike's bike, but I realized he won the December 2006 BOTM already.

 Matt.

[Ecosse]

just an idea but it might be worth it for people to scan through the projects thread. speaking for my self only i know it's easy to lose track of the many remarkable bikes floating around. 

[Really?]

Hey Heff, can previous BOTM winners not be nominated again?

[Spikeybike]

i think we're gonna have to get shortrounds cell # ...   it seems he never checks his email

i'll PM again tho 

[heffay]

Hey Heff, can previous BOTM winners not be nominated again?

well, that's been a "rule" since we started but not actually in the set of bike of the month rules that are posted.
i said in some thread way back when, that a bike of the month can only win once per year... if its been over a year, then nominate them again if you like.

mine has never won, entered twice and i turned down the 3rd try because we couldn't bare 3 humiliations in a row... seeing this month's competition i think it'd still be hard pressed to win.  although, i think its more cafe than any of the trailer queens already nominated.      jk guys!
