It's Nominatin' Time!

September 2011 BOTM Voting Thread - http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=94196.0

Congratulations Hijynx for being the September 2011 BOTM winner!

I will let this run until about 9/15/11 and then start the voting thread.

Please Nominate, Second and Accept using those words. It makes it easier for me to setup the voting threads. It gets cryptic at times.

Anyone want to get the nominations started?

kap384 nominates RickB's 400F. Don't think it's been nominated before and a great looking build.

Hi guys,

So I finally did my carbie balance/sync. It was quite difficult with the twin vacuum gauge I had. I would do 1-2, then the idle for 3-4 would be super high. I just couldn't get it right. In the end, I did the best I could but I think a 4 dial gauge is the way to go.

Before - May 24, 2009.

After - September 06, 2011.

Thanks again for all the help over the years guys, couldn't have done it without you all.

Rick.

Headers are state of art, I am all for it.

RickB's bike gets my vote.

Ooops, not yet. The 15th to the end of the month is voting time. =)

Hey Kap, have you PM'ed RickB for his acceptance?

Hey folks, slow month for nominations......y'all need some suggestions?

Ooops · « **Reply #8 on:** September 09, 2011, 02:22:30 PM »

As the name says Ooops.
Sorry really should read the small print

I ended up getting married after such a mistake

Really? · « **Reply #9 on:** September 09, 2011, 03:03:10 PM »

Yup, there is a good chance that she can get a whole lot more than half.

Are there not any bikes out there this month that is worthy of a BOTM nomination other than one?

Remember, all nominations prior to the last month that did not win can be re-nominated. So, there are really a lot to choose from.

My 2cents... keep stock (like last months winner- hijinx) bikes, with stockers. Cafes with cafes, etc.

Yep, I PM'd right after I posted. Will send another one.

Wow guys, thanks for the nomination! Sorry for the delay in replying, I've been away.

I'm flattered, but I must decline for now. I really want to finish the seat and fine tune the details (fairing, paint-job, clip-ons etc) before I enter. So give me a couple more months and then I'll have some proper photos taken and really go for the gold so to speak.

Thanks lads, I'm so stoked to even be in the conversation!

Rick.

I second that, picture :

NOOO. This one! I sent him an email.

WOWOW, another pristine stocker!

Damfino · « **Reply #19 on:** September 12, 2011, 09:39:07 AM »

Wow, I truly appreciate the nomination bender but I must decline. My bike is in it's stock form and that is how I bought it. I feel the bike of the month is for those that have nicely restored their bike or created a bike of their own vision. I have never even taken a wrench to my bike except for the most basic maintenance and therefore couldn't in good conscience compete against others that have poured their blood, sweat, & tears into their ride. Thanks anyhow!!

But it is yours and you own that beautiful piece of art. You maintain it, you guard it, you ride it (I hope) and you and the bike are deserving to be nominated for BOTM.

If someone else had it, it would be an ugly looking, bad attempt at being a cafe. But no, it is a beautiful stocker.

Soooooooo, accept already.

bender01 · « **Reply #21 on:** September 12, 2011, 09:52:48 AM »

I give up. Those are what I want to see and what I almost always vote for.

jaguar · « **Reply #22 on:** September 12, 2011, 10:00:07 AM »

We need a section of the forum to announce that a bike is done.

Im good at digging up threads...

Cheffish · « **Reply #23 on:** September 14, 2011, 10:10:27 PM »

Can I nominate Bwaller's 500 racer? A bike that gets run hard, and could be a show winner I think.

Really? · « **Reply #24 on:** September 15, 2011, 07:06:20 AM »

Yea, that one is fine to nominate. Let Bwaller know to come see.

Hey folks, slow month aye? I will let this run another day or two.

Remember, we need at least two bikes to start the voting thread. If there is only one bike/owner ready, the entrant will automatically entered into the next voting period. We have missed a month before.
