"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

Dang, Jim.  You're cruising along, man!  Very nice work! I love the way the fork bottoms look.  Is that a dark gray on it?

well the rims and tires that are on there now or temporary so I can move it around I made a boo boo when I bought those (did)rims I didn't realize that I couldn't put a wider tire on them and I've got too much into them rims to get my money back to buy Oem $50 rims and $50 for the spokes and respoke them for another $40 so I got almost $300 with no tires yet would be nice to buy the oem rims but I'm stuck with them I'll just have skinny tires on there Jim

Hey Scott,

That's great news. Cal and I (and others) had contributed parts to help springer, so we are happy it will get back on the road.
