Hey Guys really pleased to accept the nomination, thanks for the kind comments. Hope you don'r mind but here's a few reminders to plug the ol' 650...

bill440cars · « **Reply #27 on:** December 29, 2009, 07:25:43 AM »

Yep, THAT's why I put it in HERE.

Great Turnaround AND Awesome LOOK, don't ya think?

Thanks pae, for adding the other shots of it. Looking GOOD!

Had to vote for the 650. That is a great looking bike, and i've gotta support the fellow 650 owners.

Does anyone have a link to a build thread for squirley's bike? I searched and couldn't find one. Obviously a lot of work went into it, and it was a close second for me.

We need more input on these bikes y'all.

PAE, I gotta ask (cos I'm a rude colonial and can get away with it) why spend all that time and effort on the bike then not fit handle bar grips?

Were you waiting to source some white ones maybe?

Don't know, maybe he's looking for some decent ones. Some CAN BE pretty harsh on your hands, you know.

Simple really, that was the first time in over 3 years that I'd put all the panels and tank together and seen what it actually loked like in a near finished state. Couldn't wait to take somne pics even though a few small jobs needed finishing.

Bump

Do what you can to keep the votes coming.

bill440cars · « **Reply #35 on:** December 30, 2009, 03:11:02 PM »

Of course I'm kinda bias about this, but you folks need to look the bikes over, pick one out (after deliberation, of course) and VOTE ON IT!!

Support your favorite bike (or pick one out TO BE your favorite!)!

Time's running!

Lots of little bits and doodads.

squirley · « **Reply #37 on:** December 30, 2009, 08:32:48 PM »

few more, let me know if these are too many

bill440cars · « **Reply #38 on:** December 31, 2009, 08:18:16 AM »

Well, if we had a category for "Pluggin the Bike", I'm sure squirley would get THAT, hands down!

Of course, the bike he's pluggin, sure is a beaut!

Still pushing for MY nominee (pae) though.

...ok ok a few more.

bill440cars · « **Reply #41 on:** January 01, 2010, 04:44:31 PM »

And a mighty nice job it is too. We are geting some pretty good pluggin for these bikes now! Competition is getting tough.

Nice Job too Gorms!

Ecosse · « **Reply #42 on:** January 03, 2010, 10:42:53 AM »

ok, i voted and i'm crawling outta my skin.

btw: pump it up is one of my favorite songs.

Hush · « **Reply #43 on:** January 04, 2010, 01:51:34 AM »

Nice work on the cockpit Gorms, esp like the wee coloured diodes in the empty screw holes, I'm guessing because the colours match that they all work too!

I am still trying to find my way back in. Way to tough a decision. I still teeter back and forth between Gorms and Squirley. I am not discounting the other two, they are both works of art.

Awesome setup! If I had seen that before I voted, I would have been stuck and still waiting to vote.

So, I want to tell you guys that when you posted your pics, the vote count went up. It is proof that it works.

I will say that this month is a scary as you all have noticed.

MFHP · « **Reply #47 on:** January 04, 2010, 03:49:21 PM »

gosh, that's partly difficult. The 650 is a real nice rebuild with individual details. The Sidecar 750 is magnificent. But the ones I'm really drooling about are the 2 Cafes. And now that's really difficult cause both of them are awesome.Probably need to toss a dime to make up my mind.

There have been a lot of votes on this BOTM and it has been stressful one.

Great job folks!
