Yep, just go in and graciously accept, then When Tim closes the thread he opens a voting thread where you can post info about the bike, shots from cool locations, with hot girls etc. for voters ;D

Absolutely beautifully done, SICK bike sir!!

Wow, man.

I followed your Suzuki build, but somehow missed this until it got nominated. Just spent a very pleasant hour reading through the whole build. Beautiful bike, sir.

Sorry for the long pause in updates, been a lot of traveling with work lately... BUT the bike is noe approved by the Norwegian DMV, with no remarks!! So happy, and so ready to start the season :-D

I have ridden it just about 10km, and some bolts have needed tightening. It also runs a bit uneven, so i needs an adjustment I guess...

Got to lay som yellow vinyl on the headlight, thinks it looks right.

Very soon I will take some good pictures of it, and of course post them ;-)

Have a nice weekend!

I don't think those tires are doing anything positive for you on the street, might contribute to the uneven feeling. You riding it off road?

They work very well on asphalt HollywoodMX, they are actually called Twinduro ;-) But truth be told, I only ride in good weather, and just to cruise and enjoy... No racing :-D

Hats off to you sir. That is a bike well done. She's actually smaller than I expected. The picture of you sitting on it puts it in perspective.

 

[1969Honda]

That's a gorgeous bike! I bet it's a real thrill to thrash that with how small and powerful it is!
