Dude, you are on crack, lol. Thank you for the compliment!

If it gets seconded, I will have my wife accept since it is hers. Well, after we create her account on here.

As far as I know, you can nominate a Moderators bike.

True. But, back when I planted myself in this spot, trying to follow the rules, I made Benly Ben's dad create an account for his CR750. So, I feel I should follow what I had someone do. I will get with her and we will do the do.

Thanks y'all!

I accept the nomination. Thanks for the nomination. I love the bike my husband built for me.

Bonafide · « **Reply #12 on:** September 02, 2009, 09:47:04 PM »

TipperT - I have question about that bike, what length are those shocks? They look short, but not too short and the bike is lowered in the front too? My latest build is for my better half (surprise b-day present in December if I'm lucky) and she'll need it lowered a bit to be comfortable.

Really? · « **Reply #13 on:** September 02, 2009, 09:56:13 PM »

I did measure them but do not remember exactly what lenght they were. I just remember they are 11" shorties, the common ones. The 16" rim dropped it bit more, about an inch. The front tubes are cyclex -2's and then slid up the tree 1 1/8". I was going for an inch but with those new tubes and doing it myself, I left it at that length sticking out the top. The tubes slid very easy.

With the stock rim on it, the rim/tire looked like it was tucked in to far. I think the 16" rim and tire helped it fit much better.

Wow, a Q from Bonafide, that's kewl. Your bike got great reviews at work.

sweet set of wheels ccoerika. and, welcome!

Bonafide · « **Reply #15 on:** September 03, 2009, 05:37:36 AM »

Thanks TipperT ... I suppose I dont many questions, huh? Maybe cause I use the search feature a lot?

Sweet bike ... love the look/stance.

I hope there's more than 2 this month.

Ecosse · « **Reply #18 on:** September 05, 2009, 12:17:45 PM »

i'm on this... the search is on.

coldright · « **Reply #19 on:** September 05, 2009, 05:20:34 PM »

Can I nominate Paulage's bike? It will be back together by October, right Paul? This does beg the question, what is the easiest way to find out if someone has already won or been nominated? I can't imagine that this bike hasn't been up before, although it has just gone through a bit of a rebuild.

Ecosse · « **Reply #20 on:** September 05, 2009, 06:54:14 PM »

here's a botm gallery: "click me"

You'll have to get him to post some pictures. This is about all I could find for a recent one.

Thanks Ecosse!

Bikes that have been nominated and did not win can be nominated again. It is just a BOTM bike/winner that cannot be nominated again. Oh and bike has to be running and at some sort of finished point to be nominated. There is a BOTM 11 months of the year. The other month is for BOTY.
