Our good friends at Dime City Cycles are the official sponsor of the DO THE TON Bike of the Month Contest!

Dime City Cycles are not only generous sponsors of the site, but they are good friends and incredible supporters of our community. They've been part of our group of friends since the earliest days of DO THE TON 10 years ago and both DTT and DCC have grown side by side over the years working to foster the garage-built community of enthusiasts.

In addition to gracing the masthead of DO THE TON for a month, Dime City Cycles will recognize the winner with:

  • A spot light on www.dimecitycycles.com
    [*]Email announcement to their many fans and customers
    [*]Announcement on Dime City Cycles social media profiles reaching thousands and thousands of fellow enthusiasts
    [*]Winner receives a prize from DCC (DCC swag + $100 DCC gift card)


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.

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 should 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.

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/track/dirt and rideable.

5. If a bike has been nominated in the previous month but did not win, it should not be included in the current month's contest. Wait 3 months to allow other worthy nominations and then resubmit if you like.

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 3 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
 
I'd like to nominate Mork for his CB750c "Platypus" build.

This bike to me epitomizes to me what can be accomplished on a budget. A few, relatively small cosmetic changes, mostly garage-fabricated have added up to a stunning piece of work It's simple, clean and safe. Nice work, Mork!

Shots fired! Haha
 
I appreciate the nomination but as mentioned the bike is not running yet. It doesn't seem in the spirit of BOTM to have it up for a vote, so I'm thinking I should decline this month and get it running before I can be a legit candidate. I very much appreciate the compliments. thanks fellas.
 
Because this thread needs more smoke...
I'd like to nominate Hurco550's 1976 GT250

Thanks Semmins, here's a couple of other pictures from the Isle of Man in 2016., plus a short clip from onboard below. The last time it went around there was in 1996 with a Pre-unit Triumph engine and my dad riding it. Wonder if my son will be riding it around in a few years.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for the views and comments on the build thread, which is great to look back on. Nice for it to be nominated......I'm quite chuffed with that alone!

I'd like to keep the contests to three bikes, so let's keep Hurco's 250 for next month - make sure you nominate it again!

Thanks for the awesome response everyone - looks like a good contest. Will get a voting thread up!

I was attempting to bow out considering my bike isn't running yet. It doesn't seem fair to vote on a bike that isn't running. I guess i should have made that clearer.
 
OK Doc, get that bike running for another month! Hurco's 250 is in. Voting thread on the way.

Even thought it's up and the voting has started, Hurco550's bike was not formally seconded. So to see that the rules are fulfilled and that everything is on the up and up, I second the nomination of the GT250.
