AUGUST 2012 DO THE TON BIKE OF THE MONTH - NOMINATIONS

[Tim]

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 MUST MUST 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 - the nominator needs to get in contact with the nominee and should ensure they want to participate before bothering to nominate.

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

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.

[axeugene27]

I think it's nice with that alum tank too i saw it with the other tank at mid ohio.

[buckeyebike]

Thanks fellas!  I didn't do much to deserve the nod, but will take it 

A few more shots with alloy Sprint tank:





Here it is now with Manx tank (the alloy tank is off being polished) original fenders and swept-back headers with Goldies:

[teazer]

Damn, that's a nice bike and period correct too. 
Sweptbacks - check
Goldies - check
Headlamp where it's supposed to be - check
Gauges where they used to be in the day - check
Wideline frame, roadholders, alloy rims, slickshift box, rev counter timing cover.

I think I'm in love again...

I'd second it, but I don't want to take ALL the glory from Swapmeet Louie.

[one lunger]

Thanks for the nomination and the compliments guys.  I don't think my little KZ is in the same class as the other BOTM nominees or any previous winners but perhaps she stands a chance of getting nominated for a "most with the least" award!

This simple conversion appealed to me showing skill and imagination. Gentlemanjim
