Pick one you'd like to see in the contest for June and...

How many can one person nominate? Should I only nominate one each month, or could I nominate more than one? Just curious.

heffay · « **Reply #2 on:** May 01, 2009, 09:43:03 am »

second as many nominations as you like... i'd say a single nomination should be good though... that way you're not fighting yourself over your multiple nominations. kindof defeats your nomination if you ask me.

that being said... there is no limit on either.

SOHC-FOUR motorcycle of the month rules:

1. the SOHC4 motorcycle must be owned by the forum member (we’ll take your word for it)
2. user must be nominated by another member, no self nominations
3. a nomination must be made, seconded and accepted within the allotted timeframe (if you do not accept a seconded nomination by the 15th of the month, you/your bike will not be included in the contest for SOHC4 of the month)
4. please refrain from topics other than motorcycle of the month within these particular threads
5. if you nominate another user that has multiple motorcycles, state which one you would like to nominate
6. the motorcycle must be a Honda inline SOHC4

HOW IT WORKS:

1. monthly nominations will begin at the beginning of the month and run until the 15th
2. from the 16th to the end of the month a poll setup will be used to vote
3. users will not be able to view the results until the contest has ended each month
4. the user with the most votes wins bike of the month

Is mec's bike done enough to nominate it? If it is, there's not really a point in nominating anything else this month, because they won't have a chance.

heffay · « **Reply #5 on:** May 01, 2009, 10:32:03 am »

ownership is the only prerequisite.

i was just about to nominate his. i have a few pix ready. i'll throw them up because there is at least one other bike i can think of that would clearly compete. remember it also comes down to personal preferences, stock, restored, cafe, replca-racer.

so, i officially nominate mec's creation. call me a rat.

SECONDED!!!

at the risk of being gratuitous (not me!) here's a detail.

sangyo soichiro · « **Reply #9 on:** May 02, 2009, 12:08:14 pm »

For the bobber fans, I nominate Martino1972.

Suicide shifter, chain-link hard-tail, custom hard-seat, rode in the cold Canadian climate...
This is for serious riders!

bill440cars · « **Reply #10 on:** May 02, 2009, 09:33:03 pm »

Haven't done this in a while, but gotta nominate this mighty fine

CB400F of Tim's (kghost), for bike of the month!

Great Looking Ride, Don't Ya Think!

Really? · « **Reply #11 on:** May 02, 2009, 09:37:15 pm »

Seconded KG's 400f. That thing should be in a glass case that is environmentally controlled with armed guards. That thing is cleannnnn.

Ecosse · « **Reply #12 on:** May 02, 2009, 11:03:21 pm »

i think the phrase "holy crap" is fitting. good call bill!

Uh oh! Not sure what to do now? I knew Tim had a 400F (ashamed to say that I hadn't seen it in a while and went to the gallery and found the red one. So, who does the red one belong to? I don't want to show disrespect to the owner of it, but I set out to nominate Tim's 400F. Help!

bill440cars · « **Reply #16 on:** May 03, 2009, 01:44:46 pm »

Here's where I found it.

i'll second tim's real bike! i had forgotten about it truthfully, but i always liked what he did with that 400. thanks bill.

(but will the owner of that red one please stand up?)

billybobobrain · « **Reply #18 on:** May 03, 2009, 02:53:30 pm »

In order to give mec a good run, I'm going to nominate seaweb's tracy.

OOOOOHHHHHH, when you decide to throw fuel on the fire, you do it in GRAND style, don't you!

Derek's Tracy is Definitely a FINE ride!

Question is, are there enough folks that appreciate the 400F vs builds like Mec's & Derek's?

Time will tell.

So MANY great bikes here, sure makes it difficult to decide (at times).

heffay · « **Reply #20 on:** May 03, 2009, 05:22:28 pm »

bill... that pic is in kghost's folder... must be one that he snapped of someone else's ride... sure is pristine.
that is what my race bike started out as... the burgandy and gold 77.

Ecosse · « **Reply #21 on:** May 03, 2009, 05:54:53 pm »

a brief digression i'm sure no one cares about; if i ever repaint my bike, i had planned to go from the gm factory color to honda's candy red. but i like that burgundy... a lot.

i'm sure you all are excited to know this.

i won't say which bike i love and nearly nominated. but i will say the build thread was fun to follow. love seaweb's machine too!

Thanks for THAT hef.

I thought it was and hence the thought.
It IS a prime looking bike alright. Sure are some great looking colors too!

BTW, hope things go well with the race bike too, hef.

Take care, Bill

seaweb11 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 03, 2009, 08:33:53 pm »

I'll play along. Since I have front brakes now,............. it must be safe to ride

POR-15 will be cured on glass tank tomorrow. Yes I did drill out the pipe cleaner on the tank/petcock contact

So I should be riding again by noon.

Time to open up the Rev limiter up to 10

alltherightpills · « **Reply #24 on:** May 03, 2009, 08:42:59 pm »

I was wondering when seaweb and mec were going to face each other in the BOTM.

Oh, and if nobody's seconded Marti's murdercycle, I'll go ahead and do it.
