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!!

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 ;)

I guess it is all in who says the same thing.  Go figure.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

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...).

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

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

Sorry TipperT, I'm probably not following protocol.

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

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).
