i checked the winners of '08 gallery and didn't see so maybe he was nominated but didn't win.

seven, if you contact him to let him know he's in the hunt maybe he can enlighten us.

edit: found it. he was nominated but didn't win then.

Hey guys thank you for the nomination, looks like there is stiff competition this month.  Greenjeans I dig that paint job, great color/flake!

A buddy of mine through our local CO-OH VinMoto group need a few bikes to shoot for a motorcycle themed gallery display.  Not a camera guy, but he shot the pictures on a Sinar F2 Rodenstock 210mm f5.6 Ilford FP4+ 125.  Not sure what any of that means, but it looked like a cool old box camera he had to slide the film in it and pull a sheet out to expose the film. 

He got the model off a local modeling website.  She was born in China and raised here in the states.  She is currently a student at The Ohio State University and working on becoming a professional model (the pics don't do her justice either).

Thanks for the BOTM nomination FunJimmy. I still dont have it exactly where I want it, but she's still moving in the right direction. Those pics are from the day I buttoned everything up and rode it for the first time - just couldnt wait to share pics of it. Guess I need to take some more? Just tack'd on right at 500 miles (155 miles today). Definitely a fun ride and it's cool to see everyone's expressions when they roll up on it.

BTW, I really like FreezingProgress' bike .. very nice paint scheme and finishing touches and bgfootball67's build thread is what motivated me to get started and finish mine.

went for an absolutely wonderful ride today (262 miles) thru the N. Ga mountains. This bike is a BLAST to ride.

stopped off at a buddy's cabin and snapped a few pics.





Just pulling where the Appalachian Trail crosses US129 at Blood Mountain.

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

Looks like there are a lot of BCR bikes this month.  Says a lot about the BCR quality.  Good stuff.
