You're just not going to let it die are you tWisted? Glad you like it and thanks for the kind words. As before, it's an honor to be nominated with so many great bikes on here. So of course, I'll accept once again.

BTW, I just turned over 1500 miles since the build finished. Been riding to work fairly regularly and looking forward to a long ride up to Troybilt's gathering this July.

Thanks, CC

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!

Well, it must be worth it.....nominations had already closed and voting begun......and they deleted all those votes and opened it back up for you!

Hell....if you're gonna do all that.....might as well jsut declare him the winner and get it over with. :-\

I guess the rules are around here are kind of fluid! I thought once nominations stopped and voting begun that was it....silly me.

[go!]

he had already been nominated. anyway, this is supposed to be FUN. let's not lose sight of that..

 

[Traveler]

what about the rules?

 

[go!]

he was already nominated. stop being so butthurt over it! your bike got nominated, be happy!

 

[Traveler]

then change the rules!

I mean, I know of a bike that I wanted to nominate a bike for last month.....in the spirit of fun, I would liek to have it re-opened.

please?

that's completely different. you're really trying hard here..

 

[Traveler]

Rules exist or a reason......changing them in mid stream....how is that justified?

The SPONSORS of this forum expect a forum that is ran by rules, and rules are adheared to......the rules were broken, I called them on it,,,,,and I am worng?

In short, one of the mod's f'kd up, and now it's circle the wagons time, and say I am worng for pointing it out!

Fact is.....the mod's WANTED this bike in, and did what was necessary to get him in.

And votes that were cast ....don't mean squat.

Either you run an ethical and honest forum, or you don't.

[Bobdot]

Pretty sure everyone wanted his bike in, including me, I love that thing. The more bikes we have nominated and in the voting the better, in my opinion, makes it more competitive and fun.
