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 in the previous month 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.

10/30/14: So I got the Bad Buffalo out for a run today. I made a short video walk around of the bike running & riding. I also Ripped through a few turns with the Jemco pipes whaling and six pot Tokicos doing their job (remaining mindful of motorists, hidden driveways and pedestrians of course).

Entitled Bad Buffalo Smoke'n The Ton!

OK I nominate Bradj's xs 650. I am on my phone and cant link the build but will tomorrow. The number plate/ headlight bracket and orange paint are killer.
 
I'll second BradJ's aw-sum XS650 build.

I will second that.
 
OK - we've got three bikes! Thanks folks. Will get a voting thread up quick.

I accept... http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=54941.0

My build started as a truck load of disassembled parts from a trade deal I did with a buddy for a paint job on his Triumph. The previous owner had torn it down for a Cafe Racer, but I did not like the direction he had started with it. So I decided to bob it. Over the course of the winter - summer of 2014 I chopped the frame and installed a Voodoo Vintage hard tail, a lot of fabrication, powder coat, paint and polish... i ended up with a very nicely running and looking bobber that is a hoot to ride. The last thing that I did a few weeks ago was to adapt a set of ex500 CVK carbs on this bike... they are so much punchier and smooth compared to the stock BS34 carbs. Thank you for the nomination.
