okay,I accept.....all though I would doubt that it would even get one vote..... :-\ :-\ :-\
But just for bragging rights it's cool to follow this.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
who knows,there might be a lonely single soul out there that even likes my bike... :D :D :D ;) ;) ;) ;)

Now how do I win votes on my hand..??? um,you got to appreciate the "hardcore" factor in the bike... ;)
How many suicide shift bikes do we have on this forum???  none,besides mine,as far as I know...that makes this bike unique..... 8) 8)
seen another one with chain link hard tail??? wow,this bike IS really unique... :D :D :D
no springs in seat,hard leather home made..??? well,that tells ya the rider is crazy,noting about the bike.. ;) ;) ;)
this bike get's ridden hard,not polished hard....it's rat and rad,outlaw,dirty,touch and flat black....this is how they liked em in the 50's.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
this bike shows that it's ridden by a REAL  man... ;D ;D ;D
it has character and shows real touch biker life style.....
it stops people everywhere it stands,get's looked at,pictures taken from and discussed more then all the pretty shiny harley bikes in the same parking lot.... 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

now really,tell me...doesn't this video here show how bad ass it looks... ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)




let's see if this made it to get at least one vote.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Marti, I want you to know, I like you an awful lot, but guys have said far less and left wearing their drinks on their shirts.

       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!  8) ;)

Well....I'd accept but thats not my bike  :D :D :D :D







         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! :o
beautiful 400F however I'm partial to the yellow

Got any decent photos of your yellow terror R. Hykawy?
I'm up for nominating a 400 shoot-out if you are ready to show us more than your profile shot. :D

Just viewed your movie Marti, your bike is amazingly stock from the front!!! :o

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!!!!!!!

Presentation is everything! Good job.
With a speech like that you might have even secured my vote.  ;D

Bill - that's a picture I took at the Honda Owners Club event at Brooklands (UK) a couple of years ago.

The guy in the background is my mate Eamon.

You sure it's Geoff's?

Yea sorry Geoff...  I meant Tim's

I got called down for dinner just after posting that and didn't spot the other two pages of posts (just saw Bill's first post and fired from the hip...   ::) )

I took the picture because it was a damned fine looking 400!
