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.

This one is good to nominate.

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.

Really? · « **Reply #10 on:** September 10, 2011, 08:12:43 AM »

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.

RickB · « **Reply #13 on:** September 10, 2011, 11:15:38 AM »

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 always vote but never nominate. I cant figure how to post the picture. I nominate Schmthaus 1976 750 K6. Theres a picture on pg 2 0f this thread.

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.

70CB750 · « **Reply #25 on:** September 15, 2011, 07:41:24 AM »

I would like to nominate Maduncle's High Tea

Jay BOTM is for ANY SOHC bike - only real conditions are that it runs, its yours and its a SOHC. If you recall TT got his stock unmolested CB550 nominated and won BOTM. Plenty more examples of this...Accept the nomination and let the voting members decide

Damfino · « **Reply #27 on:** September 15, 2011, 09:43:39 AM »

Allright Andy, you can let go of my arm! I'll accept if someone will 2nd it. I will say, it's a great honor just to have been nominated!

Thanks guys!

Wow - my bike got nominated, that is so cool.

I humbly accept (despite the fact that today's ride to work qualified my SOH4 as a SOH2 for some reason - damn carbs! - must fix this problem this weekend)

Let me know if I need to provide more pics somewhere...

Maduncle said he is ready for BOTM. We need a second on this fine machine for his acceptance!

Are you ready for BOTM? You have been nominated. We still need a second before you accept, if you are ready. .

Sure thing - what an honour (I had better work on my speech...)

And while I am at it , I had better work out why my SOHC4 converted itself to a SOHC2 on the ride into work this morning (damn carbs...).

Really? · « **Reply #33 on:** September 15, 2011, 03:46:01 PM »

Save the pics and stories for the voting thread. We are still in the nominations thread.

Damfino · « **Reply #34 on:** September 15, 2011, 04:29:34 PM »

I'll second! Gotta have some competition!

bwaller · « **Reply #35 on:** September 16, 2011, 03:48:28 AM »

Cheffish thanks for the nomination. I'll stand-by & see if there's a seconder lurking!

Sorry TipperT, I'm probably not following protocol.

No worries Bwaller, I was able to decrypt it this month.

Since this looks to be it, I will get the voting thread started this evening (I hope).
