Alright, I guess I'll star this show:
Lets take this in a different direction this time for my nominee. Just as much as we all lust after the perfect show bikes and sweet cafe's, we also start to drool over someone's good luck when they bring home a "freebie," like Heffay's new ride:



All I can do is stare at that and think of it's potential. Can I get a second?

I'll second Heffay's freebe. It reminds me of mine, which wasn't free. It was only free to start with tho.

Man, if we can just get Heffay to accept it's going to be a sweep here pretty soon.

Anyone else got a horse they want to put up?

its kindof like one of those rocking horses we had as kids... you have to do all the work and make the sounds too!
no problem, its still a blast.   ;D

thanks for the nom guys and... i accept!

got her home two nights ago on one of those hitch motorcycle carriers i borrowed from dad.  worked well for such a small bike.  this is where you ask, what did you use to get her home heffay?  you have no cage... i do now!  i'm buying a cb500f from paul for 350 bucks, handing that over to dad who, in turn, handed over a 94 isuzu trooper w/ 260,000 miles.  free and/or cheap junkers and/or almost junkers are sweet!   :D

not sure, but if no one has nominated Six's bike... I would like to... not sure how often he is on here, but he's got a damn nice cafe here in town!





PDPimp also has a nice cafe here in MN, but I don't think he has any photos.
