JUNE 2010 BIKE OF THE MONTH - NOMINATIONS

[Tim]

Here's the scoop:

1. Nominate one of our member's bike for Bike of the Month - include some flattering pictures of the bike in question as well as a link to their build thread if they have one and their DTT user name.

2. Someone seconds the nomination (please only second one nomination)

3. Member has to accept the nomination

We will accept nominations until we get a reasonable number of nominees (5-10 or so).

Then a poll will be set up and voting will take place for the remainder of the month. Whoever ends the voting period with the most votes wins Smiley

As a reward, we will use a picture of the winner's bike on the site banner for the following month.

There are PLENTY of deserving bikes, and I'm confident each month we will see lots of nominations.

Let the games begin! Post your nominations / seconds / acceptances here. Please don't clutter this thread up with your supporting posts!

Dont think he has a build thread Tim. Not for this one, it was just a part of the smoking lounge thread.

Rules reminder - read the first post You don't nominate your own bike - someone needs to nominate it / 2nd it and then you accept the nomination.

Not that your bike isn't worthy - its freakin AWESOME but I'm biased towards the CB500/550 line (my first ride).

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!

This bike was one of the first start to finish builds I watched on this site and it has inspired me in many ways. I feel this bike speaks volumes about its builder and the spirit of DTT!

Yeah, it was a cheesy~arrogant thing to do....just forget it.

It's really not in the same league.....but it works for me.

He's still shaking the bugs loose, but I love his style. Check the gauge mounts.

I also am in for nominating bobs cb350. It is a gorgeous bike with tons of custom parts and blood, sweat and tears. Doing the work in a garage with horrible lighting and a floor that is insanely unlevel, he deserves it, I think it has been like a 2-3 year project. Especially with all those shitty south philly kids touching tools and parts! Congrats on the nomination brohem.
