Thanks for the nomination and second guys but I have to bow out of the BOTM contest.  Since mine was already a contender (September i think)  I don't feel like it should run again and give some of the other great bikes/builds here a chance to have some glory.  I am humbled by the nomination and appreciate all the entertainment and knowledge I gain from this site.

Maybe if there is a "second chance qualifier" month I will let it run in that.

Good luck to all the great bikes this month.

I want to nominate tweakin and his 1977 CB750F2

Dunno what that means about a second chance qualifier but you can come back to a BOTM contest if you did not win and it has been more than one month.  So, per the rules and the poll we had on this, you are able to Accept if you wish to change your mind.

Just though I would let you know.

I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

Mr.TipperT... hats off to you on that flashy "it's nominating time" sign!  That excited me....thoroughly  

I had my mind made up for a while now...Tweak's bike has BOTY written all over it. (it's been written in  micro print in the most unbelievable places by the tiny BOTM elves while he was sleeping) like under the petcock rubber gasket...between the 4th and 9th camchain link...and squished inside the 3rd sewn hem on his seat...not to mention the gl forks now have BOTY stamped in the fusion-cast whipper sticks....which is the key to a cushy sport spirited ride.

(I need to get a set of F.C. Whippers)

Even if we are only in the first month of a barrage excitementé du' monthly votages....is it rash of me to be so bold?

That aside... If I may...and am allowed after revealing my inner most emotions...I'm going to take a closer look at the other contenders and lay my blessing... one shall be donned by da' NUT  ...is that okay?

PS.  Fusion-cast whipper sticks are fictional speed components not yet develloped or real...thus not actually in Tweakin's bike.  But if somebody chooses to produce these wonderful add-ons.... i claim 10% of all profits  ;D



Haha...yes you are!

So far we have;

Roach - Nomination, Second
Tweakin - Nomination, Second and Deny
spamsmasher - Nomination, Second and Accept
nokrome - No Nomination, Second and Accept



We still need a Nomination for nokrome and an Accept from Roach.  Remember, I suggest not nominate.

Funny thing about regret is...... its better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't done.
