Uhh, sorry Terry, I'm in the mood for a stocker, but yours is a really nice job.

I like the wheels and maybe alot better than the cmstars, are those looking suzuki to me?  The run what you brung  is  a mantra I use, but still, maybe if I saw the stocker close up and noticed flawed paint or something... bla bla bla...

Thanks mate, I really like Ray's K5 and the F2 is nice as well. My wheels are "Henry Abe's" aftermarket mags from "back in the day", but you're close, they do look a bit like the wheels on my Suzuki GS1000. Happy New Year! ;D

Not sure what to say. Terry's bike is awesome with enough detail and mechanical aptitude to revival the best. Graydude's bike is to be commended for the work he did to bring it back to life.

I was surprised to be nominated and now BOTM?. Wow!

Big Thanks to everyone.

Well done Ray, you've done a brilliant job on your K5 mate, and it's great to see a beautiful CB750 out of the barn and back on the road again! Happy new Year! Cheers, Terry. ;D

I've seen some big walk aways in this competition but I've never seen a REALLY nice bike loose by such a big margin. Greydudes bike was awesome, how on earth did it atract so few votes.
Granted, I didn't vote for it but I thought it would have been a very close run thing between the three of them. Well done all and a happy new year to all voters and contestants.

Sam. ;)

Congrats to all nominated. Everyone of them is a winner. Great Job K5 ! Congraulations on your rebuild. Now take lots of photos at the IMS show. If you are really clean underneath, I would go to a plastic supply house and get yourself a plastic mirror to stick underneath the bike.

Thanks for the mirror suggestion. I'll make sure to take plenty of photos at the IMS and post them on the Team Michigan thread.

Happy New Year!

I had the good fortune to meet Ray and see his CB with the VJMC display at IMC this past weekend and will say that his bike looks as good in person as in the photos. Congrats on BOTM.
