Nominees - post up your pics and stories. If anyone wants the image in the poll changed just shoot me a PM.
 
thank you so much for the nomination i cannot stop to smile :)
I accept the nomination and feel humbled to see my bike up here.

This bike really depicts what a good forum community, perseverence and a little pinch of madness can do.

It was build up all the way trough on a budget of time and money,this forum made it possible for me to succeed in the task of restoring.

it all started with my accident in august last year,i got hit by a car,my bike was totaled.i sold the totaled bike and decided to buy something that will prove that i can restore maintain and ride a classic bike.

i found the RD in the shed of a Upper Austrian collector, he had many rare bikes,rocatis,rotax bikes,ktm´s but this one caught my eye.

After some time i found myself not only tearing into the motor and brakes but being in connection with people who are skilled and ready to give that wisdom away for free,impressive, here at DTT.

I want to thank: Sonic,Mobius,Xb,Von Yinzer,Maritime,Redbird and many many others!

Here are some pics before and after and a vid how she runs now ;D

I was in right away, seems a slow vote, I hope for the noms we can have a good turn out, these guys put a lot into these rides :eek:
 
Well, arent you guys just awesome. I tell ya I was sure surprised! I was even getting a little anxious about it.

The others bikes are beautiful machines. My high school girlfriends dad and I painted my car that same same color blue. Its a super clean and sharp bike. And the 400 is just plain awesome.

Thankyou so much, it sure makes me proud that I never gave up on my looong project.

Thanks for all the help. If it werent for all the info and advice and encouragement on DTT. She would still be a complete mess. lol

Crappy tires, miserable loud exhaust, and running like...well, like a 360.

Thanks for, not only putting up w me over the years. But, actually welcoming and including me. :D
 
Nice Job Trek, had you winning this day one. The other bikes are top notch also, but the spot seems to be earned as much as won... Good respectful forum personality... Congrats!
 
Well, now that you've won BOTM you have to sell it, trade it or leave it in a parking lot to get impounded. Lucky for you you have Rachel's bike to work on.

Congrats.
