Ok you guys, you have already been nominated, lol.  You can't get anymore nominated than you already are, lol. Let's not beat it to death just yet.

We are not even in the voting thread yet.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

I feel embarassed to have been nominated last month, in all honesty.  You guys have bikes that more museum pieces than riders.  I built my bike to be a (somewhat) cheap rider/racer....you guys have done full tear down, to the bolt resto's....each bike so far has been TRULY outstanding!

unbelieveable!  really....ALL of you are to be commended.....your attention to detail, etc...would make Soichiro Honda extremely proud that he did "something right" in his life!

now.....I feel the need to take the plunge and do a 750 resto...damn you guys! >:( ;D

You should not be embarrassed, Feel proud that so many people liked your bike and felt it worthy of BOTM.  Heck, you had my vote!

If you don''t like it, I will PM you my address so you can ship it on down to me.   ;D ;D ;D









I will say that some months are slightly biased due to a BOTM contender.  Seen it many times.

I will say that i voted for Terry for the simple reason and Terry knows this as well, i am building a very similar bike and Terry and i have spoken about my build quite a few times, actually i am getting my frame of him. So i was elated to see how well the modern touches worked out on Terry's bike and i liked it straight away. There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of the bikes presented but unfortunately you can only pick one.... ;)

I nominate zzpete's Valley Green Metallic K1, maybe he won't sell it then! It's a stunning bike. He painted it himself too!  

I second it, beautful bike. Just sold on ebay as I predicted for $4K.

When did this bike sell?  I need to know if it was still in his possession at the time of nomination.  I would like to see the eBay auction if necessary.

Rules are rules.  I will fine tune rule #1 after this.

I am currently working on the voting thread and will hold it open until I know or it takes to long to find out, I will start it without this bike,.

Good, I will let this one in.  Nominated on the third and accepted on the fifth.

This has happened before.  Before me.
