Tank is hidden very well.  Maybe he should market those.

I see the other pics are back, they were gone for a while.

So, at minimum we need an acceptance from deftone and a second for robdrobd.  I see we already have robdrobd's accceptance.

It has been a slow month.  Is everyone just plain exhausted from the stress of making a vote each month?   ;D ;D ;D

Yeah...really is a slow month.  I know that the noms thread never even occurred to me this month until I just saw it in the updated thread list.  I'd nominate someone, but I never know who's done and ready to go to The Big Show, and who's already been nominated.

I will second robdrobd.  Great looking bike!  i really like what you did with the shocks,  it adds just a touch of color without going nuts.

Thank you. I ordered the red ss brake lines from Pampadori to add a rouch to the front as well :) I found light blue pod filters too!

Now we need Deftone to accept so we can have a contest.  Or, some else gets nominated, seconded and accepted by tomorrow evening.

If nothing, we will just have to wait until next month.

If we only have one full nomination, that nomination will automatically be entered into the next BOTM.  We will skip a month.  It has happened before during Heffay's time.
