OH...this is just cheating, a red 76 with original exhaust!

 

[yas3forever]

OH...this is just cheating, a red 76 with original exhaust!

oem exhaust as spare parts, but yes not the original delivered in 72 ... So partially cheating ...

 

[Downeaster]

Thank you, not a restoration original condition ...

Whoa! A survivor in that condition? Amazing! Congratulations!

 

[David Toll]

Gentlemen, I accept. Oh to be recognised in my own time!! That was not intended to be a calendar shot with the bin in the background but my kid thinks he's a pin up boy and that's plaudits enough! Bob, not even a Yammie could make me look like that these days but it's a nice thought.
Thanks

Nice bike and pic. Looks great with the background.

Willis is being super kind, but, since Prom Queen was honored last year, I will have to decline. I did just get my California plate, though!!! Motor is still full race, so it should be fun. Total loss ignition and no flywheel! Thanks again, guys!

 

[Hoser59]

Thank you for the nomination, Mailman. I accept and will try to put up some better photos soon. I’m honored

I feel a little weird offering up a self nomination of another bike since I’ve already been nominated by others. Perhaps they could be offered up as a pair? Both bikes I’ve built, both ‘79’s, one a Standard the other a Special.
If it’s not allowed to have two nominations or two bikes in a single nomination, by all means ignore or remove my comment.

I’m very grateful for being nominated for my Bonnebobber! I offer up my Scrambler for consideration as well.

 

[DogBunny]

First, thank you for the nomination and second. I am honored and accept.
Second, I think kawabunga should be allowed to enter both of his bikes as a twofer. Think how cool and unique of a calendar picture it would be to have two nice bikes side by side. A calendar first. Anyways, I second his scrambler.
