What's funny is that is what it felt like making this thread.

Wasn't that in last month?
I can't see the point in keeping on nominating someones bike month after month till it wins something, i surely wouldn't want that with mine when its done.

I don't think there is anything written in stone but it has been debated before. Personaly , i think that one nomination is enough unless the bike has been changed some what of rebuilt again but 2 months in a row.........Lets give everyone else a chance first,there's no shortage of great bikes on this site.... ;)

Actually, we polled the nomination thing a while back.  It came out to where it could be re-nomintated if it did not win.  I added it to the rules due to the outcome of the poll.

So, it can be done but there were quite a few that frowned on it.  Up to y'all.

Come on guys, Tweakins bike is gorgeous but he almost won that last poll and i am sure he was more than happy with that. I am sure if it keeps being nominated it will win, most bikes in here probably would at some stage, that, in my opinion, cheapens the whole thing...

I understand Mick's point. I leave it up to the masses. I could go either way with that poll so.. As for the bike I did nominate, he did say he was not calling it complete, that said the little things he has planed should not keep it from being nominated, after all mine was not exactly complete when it was nominated.. It was "complete enough" that is it ran and the things I am doing to the bike wont change it much at all.

Your call. I was just trying to get the ball rolling is all.. Enjoy your weekend.

Thanks for thinking of my bike "again" but once is more than enough for me.  I was hesitant being in last months BOTM since I am not into the contest thing, but accepted the nomination because a local guy nominated me.

keep the "new" nominations coming.

Wow, thanks....I have never put "marmalade" up for any kind of judging before. Not at bike shows nor in forums. I always just enjoyed riding and letting others see it. It will be interesting to see if a stock resto can hold it's own to all the great custom bikes out there. For those intrerested, here are a few more photos.
