Can't go wrong with a vote for any of the bikes in this month's stable. Mike I'm voting for yours as I love that aluminum tank and your attention to details is excellent. Kudos for the color choice too, it really stands out. On a side note, I saw a plate on a Repsol replica 1000rr that would look perfect on your bike: HRC YA.
I don't think Mec's bike really belongs in the BOTM, it really needs it's own sticky with a silly name. Like "Austrian mad scientist challenges Jesse James to bike buildoff! Or maybe duel to the death. That would be challenging the Babe Thread for viewership in no time. Eeeeeh okay maybe not but you see where I'm going.

mikeb4 you got my vote bud the 836 tracy body is ok but not my taste, martinos bobber is cool but doesnt have the sound i like, khghosts bike is ok but seems a little to plain to me, and mecs bike is a little to custom

mikeb4 · « **Reply #27 on:** May 26, 2009, 04:29:26 pm »

fastbroshi and MMICAFE - thanks for the support!

I may be flying solo here (I'm sure Martino thinks so), but I still think his bike deserves lots of consideration. A hard tail SOHC/4 is unique, as is the suicide shifter, but what stands out to me is his desire to ride it. I favor bikes that get ridden lots, and a hard tail requires a certain determination and insanity. I hear what you say, MMICAFE, Martino's bike doesn't have the chopper sound, but I'm not really into the chopper sound.

I'd dare say it's fair to guess that the other nominees have spent more time and attention to detail. They are drop dead gorgeous bikes, which is why I said I hate this thread.

Seaweb, that would be the proper response to the suggestion, "Listen to burmashave."

Mike you've got a sweet Honda and you're not a yooper - you're okay in my book dude

It's aliiiiiiiive!!!

note: this machine makes double the stock hp.

Can't find the right nut? Just feel like a challenge? Mec makes his own fasteners.

Home made triple clamps with previous gauges.

"pictures show the comparison between the stock engine and my 1000ccm"

I have had some questions on what the bike looks like on the left side so here we go ...... thanks.

SWEET kickstand.

Ecosse · « **Reply #38 on:** May 27, 2009, 03:21:06 pm »

mike, that is one beautiful bike. in my pantheon of dream bikes a factory replica racer/street bike is on the list.

edbikerii · « **Reply #39 on:** May 27, 2009, 05:28:58 pm »

That's one sweet ride, mikeb4. Makes me want to vote twice. I really loved your red unit as well.

Can't we run the runner's up in this BOTM again next month?

The underdog's got my vote cuz i think i already know who's going to win. It would be cool if there was a tie for first place, and super cool it was a 5 way tie. Any rules on tie?

i dunno but i still love the bike in your avatar!

mikeb4 · « **Reply #42 on:** May 27, 2009, 08:02:00 pm »

Benjie,

I have spent hours on your website, awesome stuff! very creative, unique and inspirational. I first found you from the Whale auction on ebay in '05 if I remember correctly.

Love the Sportster based items as well, keep it going!!

mikeb4 · « **Reply #43 on:** May 29, 2009, 05:18:59 pm »

OK, I got the finished seat mounted up tonight with the inner fender and all the street legal gear (plate, mirrors, rear signals etc) ...... just had her out for a fun ride tonight. The 850 motor with this cam pulls real hard
