I would like to nominate CC Riders “ Espresso Love”. I am not even really sure why I like this bike so much, but I really love it. I think it has a great vintage look that I find very appealing. CC spent a ton of time working every miniscule detail to create an outstanding bike. “Espresso Love” to me represents everything that DTT is about, the love of a machine by its builder. Spending countless hours wrenching in the garage and going to your day job with grease under your nails, listening to your significant other going “I wish you spent that much time with me” or “you stink, take a shower”, and then riding the machine you built the way you wanted it!

I have included links to CC’s threads in order for you who are not familiar with his work to get more acquainted with it. If you have seen his work, take a chance to look through his tank thread again, just to realize the amount work and time that went into it and see how many users his post helped!

There are many great builds on this site and I have lots of respect for all of them, and I am sure all of the deserving ones will get thier chance. I have a hard time deciding which bike I like the best, because I like different things about all of them. Good luck to all of you and your creations.

Did you nominate a bike you built?

Cheers for the nomination Kit. It's your paint that makes it what it is.

No, actually my brother built this bike. I wish I could say that I helped him, unfortunately we live about two and a half hours from each other so we dont get to buld much together. I'd be proud to have built such a damn fine bike. Only bike I've built so far is the 450. More to come soon though once I get my shop done.

Re: JANUARY 2010 DO THE TON BIKE OF THE MONTH - NOMINATIONS!


Hey tWisted and m357.5,

Thanks for the nomination, the second and the glowing review! ;D

Sure, I'd be honored to play again.

OK, that makes sense. My apologies for the confusion. I don't see either one of you on the forum much, so I'm sure you understand how I got a bit confused.

No worries Chris. Love your bikes. You still building exhaust systems? I'm building a CB100 racer and would love to have one of you pipes on it.

Re: JANUARY 2010 DO THE TON BIKE OF THE MONTH - NOMINATIONS!

Nice bikes, all of them. Particularly like the CB750 with its 'factory racer style' tank/seat setup. I'm seriously thinking of making a nice smaller capacity bike with dimensions like that.

Anyway, I nominate Lachbeth1125's KH100:






This has been a garage build of a small two stroke, from scratch, and its come out really well IMO. Very minimalistic style, but still some cool details in there like the frame paint and the braided tank stripes. Anyone care to second this?

Cheers - boingk

Re: JANUARY 2010 DO THE TON BIKE OF THE MONTH - NOMINATIONS!

I second Lachbeth1125's KH100, really clean and simple with nice details as pointed out by Boingk

Re: JANUARY 2010 DO THE TON BIKE OF THE MONTH - NOMINATIONS!

WOW

To be nominated in company like that with my little kwak, I am just blown away. :-[

Thanks Boink, and JohnnyC

Cheers Jase
