If it hasn't been already, I second Glenn's 350, very neat, clean!

Good idea for folks nominating a bike to include the gallery link.  ;)

In honor of the grand old dame of the SOHC/4 bikes, I'll have to nominate the 69's I can find on the gallery.

Bob Wessner's http://www.sohc4.us/gallery/d/72-6/rightside.jpg  (this means I'm seconding this nomination)

His is the only one that I can find in the new gallery.  In the old gallery, there are a few more:

Sterling2's twins: http://www.sohc4.us/forums/index.php?topic=2153.0
Sterling2's cafe bike: http://www.sohc4.us/forums/index.php?topic=2352.0

Then there is toycollector10's K0 built in November, 1969 (1970 model year?):

http://www.sohc4.us/forums/index.php?topic=7238.0

There must be more of the early 750's out there.  We need more pics!

I second toycollector10's K0, not that I'm biased or anything  ::). Just hope mine looks half as good some day.

hey all you seconded nominees!  you'd better accept to play the game. 

 :'( still waiting for a second  :'(  ... maybe my bike will be seconded at the very last second and no one will have accepted yet and i'll be the only one to accept and i'll win by default!   ;D

would it be better to consider this the june bike of the month or the may bike of the month... consider this... if you won, at this point the winner is announced on the last day of may and it would be may's bike of the month... not making much sense now that i think about it. 

so, i'm thinking we should switch the award period for the following month.

that way when i make all of you winners your own special "bike of the month" thread... people will see it for the month that is present.  (kinda like other ______(s) of the month  ;)  )

O O Oh  I see my bike, I'm flattered, Thanks.
Would it be an idea to gather the top 10 or so nominations and do a poll, Can that be restricted to one vote, Seems easier than running up and down the thread figuring out who seconded what, or third, the second one, I mean second  the...aarrggh
Now I must surf the gallery.....
