Is mec's bike done enough to nominate it?  If it is, there's not really a point in nominating anything else this month, because they won't have a chance. ;D ;D

+1!!!

thats my nomination for the month!!

Got any decent photos of your yellow terror R. Hykawy?
I'm up for nominating a 400 shoot-out if you are ready to show us more than your profile shot. :D I'll see what I can dig up it will have to be pictures that are a few years old though that were taken with a crappy digital camera(or it could just be the operator)The bike currently has the engine removed for siezed cam tensioner horseshoe/repaint, then all the new shiny stuff will go on such as nos exhaust,nos guages,nos seat


Just viewed your movie Marti, your bike is amazingly stock from the front!!! :o

I vote we hunt this fellah down and give him a Texas welcome, they do still have public hangings in Texas I presume? ;D

Number 10: Honda CB400F. Honda destroyed the jewel-like CB350 Four after just one year of production and replaced it with this square-edged faux racer junkpile. The exhaust pipes set a new low in idiotic styling and the rest of it is so undescript that it barely even registers. Ride it for two hours and you'll have holes in your legs where those saddle rivets are.

Actually Honda did OK in that they couldn't find anything to criticise until they reached number 10!
I'd find space for a lost and forlorn CB400f if I ever find one. :)

Who?  Me?
If so, wow!  Thanks!  But since I nominated Martino's bobber, there would be a conflict of interest.  Plus, I just came in dead last in last month's competition.  Think how bad these folks here would feel if I miraculously won... no way that would happen, but if it did, losing to a loser is pretty bad.   :)

If it is my bike you're referring to, thank you very very much.  I really mean that.  But I wouldn't feel right running this month.  I'm pullin' for Martino.

Some bikes have run in the BOTM for a few months.  No worries.  If you do not win this month, there is always the next one.  Now getting some of those in the babe thread to pose with the bike might kick it up a notch or two.

You guys are embarrassing me.   :-[  Shucks, I don't know what to say... except thanks.

I still gotta root for Martino in this one.  I can't divide my loyalties.  If I were in the competition I'd want to vote for myself, but Martino's already got my vote.  I can't accept the nomination this time around. 

But just the thought of being nominated is enough for me.  Thanks very much guys.   :)
