"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.

Agreed that your bikes are VERY worthy.  That said, BOTM Rule 2.   User must be nominated by another member, no self nominations.

What's the story with these bikes? There is no build thread for them.  I think members would really like to see their backstory.

I nominate beemerbum's K1.

Sorry Scottly, Beemerbum's K1 was nominated and voted on for BOTM September 2018, so it is not yet eligible again.  BOTM Rule 4: "If a bike was voted upon in a BOTM and did not win, it may not be re-nominated for 3 months."  http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,8929.0.html

Bummer, he missed the deadline.  Well, I guess we can have him in mind for the beginning of next year!  On to voting!

Unfortunately late by about 5 days.  See Rule 3: http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,8929.0.html

Don't worry.  There's next year (since this is the last Bike of the Month for 2018).
