That machine looks like it actually came from the factory that way.

Well done!

I've come across this bike before while looking for BOTM's, and kept it in the back of my mind.

To be honest, I had to look twice before I realized it was a Honda V4, but, it is a good example of a time and place bike.

Quebec in general and Montreal in particular leans heavily on the Cruiser bike model, lots of chrome, tassels, raised bars. etc. The riding gear closely follows the look of the bikes. That's the culture there, and has been since I first rode up into Quebec in 76.

Since its August, and Maine is now awash in aforementioned Quebecois riders, it seems fitting that this months winner should reflect that.

So, Congratulations alofano, (Andy), your 84 V45 Montreal Modified Magna is August 2023's BOTM.

Have to say, I like that color on a cruiser.

Always liked Sabres. My first V4 was a 82 V45 Sabre. As far as "Brass Tacks " here's about the best explanation I've come across.

I also prefer my Sabres san windscreens.

And I'll admit I feel pretty silly as I'd always thought it was brass TAX.  Still never had any idea where it came from.

Nice pick(s)!

Those are beauties.

I vote for the one without the windscreen, but I'm not taking a long trip here on my keyboard.

I've been wanting a big Sabre like one of those to compliment my Magna.

Great bikes. A rarity to see two in the same spot.
