These are my favorite pics of "Goldy", taken just before, and during a long winter's ride not long after I'd put it back together. It was a great ride, and I'm looking forward to many more of them! Cheers, Terry. ;D





I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

All sweet bikes. Calenders would be cool.

YES!  Calenders WOULD be cool! 

I have too many irons in the fire do head up that project.  If someone picks up, please let me know.

A lot of places will print custom calendars, and the turn-around is fairly quick.  Most require a minimum of 50 copies, but I think most work out to around $10 a calendar for a basic picture+date.

I'm sure someone could make it happen if they wanted to.

Well, we are at 91 votes so far.  About another 70 will bring us up to about normal I think.  But we still have plenty of time as I am sure there are still a bunch of people that are undecided still.  I am one of them.

As am I.  I'm gonna wait until the last minute, hope I forget, then claim that I was gonna vote for that bike that won.


But then, with my track record, no one would believe that.

Myself and a few of the family would be in for a calendar for sure!!

If nobody wants to mass produce them...I could set one up on a site that members could go to and order 1, 3 or 50 as needed...I think they'd run between $15-20 a calendar.  The only downside is that all profits would go to the site...nothing would come back to the SOHC4 site....which just wouldn't be right!

I'll do a little more digging around here... BUT CALENDARS would ROCK!! Especially for Christmas presents!

With such a sexy group of Honda's...any nut would be crazy not to snatch one!

CHEERS!

Maybe not, that created a tie.  And the bike I was thinking of is not in the BOTY, darn.

That tie was between HedNut and Squirley.

Time to find another method, darn.

I had a 3 way tie between headnut squirley and godffrey so I just wrote their names on paper and taped them to a fan. I turned on the fan and the last one still taped to it got my vote.
