Here are the Nomination Rules:

1. Nominate one of our members' bikes for Bike of the Month - include up to 3 flattering pictures of the bike in question. This is an opportunity to recognize someone who's bike has inspired you. So please don't nominate your own bike - make sure you have a well detailed build thread, post up in the Show n Shine area etc. and if enough people like your bike, someone will nominate it and maybe you'll see it as our banner in an upcoming month!

The Nomination MUST be accompanied by the member's User Name, a link to the thread where their bike is best described (Build thread, Show n Shine etc.) and a PHOTO of the bike in question.

2. Someone seconds the nomination (please only second one nomination)

3. Member MUST accept the nomination - If you're nominating a bike, make sure you're in contact with the owner, that they want the bike included and they accept the nomination. The Nominee should provide some back-story on the project, especially if there is a limited build thread already in place.

4. Bike must be in running roadworthy condition - no basket cases. I know our bikes are never really 'finished' but it should be on the road and roadworthy.

5. If a bike has been nominated and participated in the previous month's contest it should not be included in the current month's contest. Skip a month and nominate in a subsequent month.

6. Bikes that have won in prior contests should not be included unless they have been modified significantly.

We will accept nominations for a few days till we have a good selection to a limit of 5 bikes per contest.

A poll will be set up and voting will take place for a week or so depending on timing. Whoever ends the voting period with the most votes wins :D

Ultimately the voters will decide!

As a reward, we will use a picture of the winner's bike on the site banner for the following month.

I nominate Swan's BSA Gold Star. I could go on and on about why, but I think looking through his build thread would be better. He's meticulous, neat, and did everything right with this build.

Definitely have to second the nomination of Swan's BSA Gold Star. I'm lucky enough to regularly see it in person... Moving or not, it's the kind of bike that just makes you stare.
 
Texasstar and Son's CB200 "L ucky". Beautiful machine and inspiring F/S project. Best family time I've heard of in awhile!

Ahh crap, swans bike and the coolest little CB200 ever. Can we just call it a tie this month and put both on the banner? I don't want to have to choose as I followed and love both of those builds.
 
Oh boy... voting is going to be tight like engine bolt after 45 years of sitting outside in New England! All amazing bikes!
 
OK - we have 3 bikes all seconded, but near as I can tell none of the nominees have 'accepted' their nominations. If you nominated a bike, reach out to the owner and get them in here to accept.

I'll fire up a voting thread in the next day or so. Nominations are OPEN until then.
 
I humbly accept the nomination and will post some before and images later. Thanks!


Here a few before and after images. Thank you all for the encouragement, compliments, motivation and patience during this l-o-n-g build thread. All the money and countless hours restoring this beast mean nothing now that I am riding it. I am so damn lucky to have found such a rare bike and I still cannot believe this is really my bike. She is so smooth, fast, handles great and sounds simply amazing.
