JUNE 2012 DO THE TON BIKE OF THE MONTH - NOMINATIONS

The bike when it came to me (yes, the tank was held on with a bungie cord, every bolt was loose, the caliper hit the spokes, tabs welded on the frame could be broken off by hand, wiring was dangerous at best, and so on...) a few months ago:

The bike (in a HORRIBLE pic) from a few days ago before I got a bunch of work done on it:

Ill have the bike cleaned up, running right, and ready for pretty pics this weekend. Waiting to hear back from a photog friend.

So anyway... Thanks again fellas. Ill buy ya all a beer when I get my ass handed to me in the voting. Haha.

The other bikes are all pretty effin' awesome. Good luck all.
 
geez.. Goingsmoto, Eddie's TX650 and milehigh's CL450 Scrambler are all amazing bikes. some of the coolest ive seen. its going to be hard to choose. I think i'm leaning towards TX650...
 
Sheesh... Is it too late to remove my bike from any form of competition? Hahaha... Exercises in futility arent my thing. ;)
 
It took a text for me to even realize my TX650 was nominated. All bikes nominated this month are certainly banner material.Very nice line up.
Thank you so much for the thought guys, I accept the nomination.

PS Mike, I like those pipes on your chopper, I wonder how they would look on my scoot. :)

Ughhhh..I hate it when I love all the bikes. It's so much easier to vote when I'm like, "That's the ONE. Done." Nice job, fellas.

All I can say is if you don't accept the nomination this month it makes it much easier for me to vote :D


Then I can vote for yours another month ;)
 
Here is a before and after on the CL450. Most of the fun was had restoring the motor to stock compression, which took me a few tries as i've never done that before...but the results are good, and cosmetically speaking, she looks better than she did. so i'm happy.
