Nominate for Bike Of The Month - July 2012
« on: June 04, 2012, 06:13:14 PM »

It's Nominatin' Time!

June 2012 BOTM Voting Thread -  http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=106957.0 

Congratulations englishwheeler for being the June 2012 BOTM winner!

I will let this run until about 6/15/12 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.

Nominating Andy's 750....some of us have always wanted a polished steel tank and he has pulled it off. This bike looks great!

I'm nominating Rookster's Dunstall because it's just dripping 70's coolness. How this bike hasn't won before is clearly an oversight on the part of SOHC/4dom I must try and forgive.   ;D



(my sincerest thanks in advance for everyone noticing this is my 5000th post and congratulating me profusely in that regard)

Rookster: No front  brakes? I'm guessing they were being worked on when the picture was taken.

the brakes were not yet mounted in that shot; i grabbed it from his blog because i liked that angle.

the calipers had since been mounted. sorry for the confusion.
