Knowing Bill, I'm pretty sure that's not why he nominated Pae's bike. He really just digs what the guy did with it since he has a CB650 as well. He is using it as inspiration for his own build and just likes it that much. To think or say otherwise is a discredit to Bill, who if nothing else, has to be one of the most upstanding, honest people on here. Bottom line, there is no rule that says you can't nominate a bike again, if you really like it that much. If you don't like it, don't vote for it. Period. I 2nd Pae's bike because I too like it and own a 650.
It has been brought up that this is turning into a 650 month. Well, how many months have had mostly 750s in them and no one blinked an eye or thought twice about loading an entire month with cafes or bobbers or whatever? Last month alone, we had that suggested, AFTER people had already been nominated, 2nd and accepted. We've seen months where a bare bones budget bike went up against a high performance, racing team backed, professionally built bike. How is that possibly considered competition is a good sense? Now I see that we feel free to post (and gloat) over the final count. That is demeaning and disrespectful to the builder, sir, plain and simple.
"it placed last during January's vote. " Shame on you. This is exactly the kind of thing that kept me away from the monthly vote for year or more.
No matter what, the Feb vote now has been tainted. What a shame all around.
