Chef,

Tige accepted (via PM) the seconded nominations for the 915 and Monkey Trainer.  Assuming the Monkey Trainer is out, the 915 is IN.  Can you PM Tige aka Tweakin to confirm??

I am good with this.  Interesting to see how the voting turns out, just honored my bikes are thought of as worthy.

Yes the Monkey Trainer was sold to an exporter out of SoCal.  Never should have let her go.
