how do you guys feel about giving Johnie a second shot at BOTM?



I nominate Johnie for Aug botm.

As much as I would like to see Johnie's bike again in BOTM, the community voted about a year ago that it must wait at least one month before it can be re-nominated.  The bike was there last month.

I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

That one is a fantastic build. Not just the usual slap on somebodies seat and tank and call it good. He made all that himself. Very impressive.

Ringo's Gulf inspired bike was nominated quite recently but I think he declined to be included for some reason or other. It is a stunning creation but like I have said many times, painted black rims make a bike look cheap, I guess it's just a sign of the times. :-\

i've seen plenty of vintage jag-you-are's with black wheels. "cheap" never entered my mind.
