I could not even vote until the last day it was so difficult to choose.  Oh, and no one sent me a PP payment for my vote, darn.

A bike needs to be a runner to be nominated. I dont think LMP bike is a runner just yet....I may be wrong..

Isn't it though? I thought he had it running already. I, too, could be wrong. Perhaps, I need to research a little further...

one of the really cool things about botm is seeing these old girls brought back from the brink.

i like this one a bunch as it's a nice restoration made to look like an older model.

so... i'm nominating bowswell's

After consulting with LordMoonPie, I am withdrawing my nomination until he has had a chance to recover and post the long-awaited video of his stellar build.

I have no problem with it.  If my lord jumps in and does the accept, I am kewl.  If other members have something to say.  We can easily go through the motions again.  Then I get to add another rule to the rules, lol.

Wow! Thanks for the kind words guys, however, I don't think I can accept just yet. The CR750 is most definitely a runner BUT, I promised to post a video of it running on the forum and because of my back operation I haven't been able to do that, yet. It's not far off though so in the spirit of keeping my word, honesty, integrity and lots of other good intentions, I think I should be withdrawn from this BOTM. Once I've posted the video of the bike running, if anyone still thinks my bike is worthy of entering in the competition I'd be hugely flattered but until then, I'll be more than happy to watch these other superb machines slug it out from the sideline.  ;D

I will confess this is not a showroom bike that stands up to pristine close inspection.  I use it.  And, as long as you don't get closer to it than 10ft it still looks new.

I still think it is a pretty nice example of a bike I couldn't own when it really was new.

Cheers!

I gave Two Tired my vote as well. I love the stock looks. Everyone can cut/chop and create, but it takes a love for originality to try and keep a 30~40 year old bike like it came wrapped.

Thanks for not messing it up -
