"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.

May want to hold his nomination until next month. Then we can put him up against some other non-stockers? It's going to be awfully tight with three 750 restorations to have Seth run his modern bike. He might just deserve a better group of bikes? How's your 550 Don? Maybe a contender for next month too?

My 550's pretty much good for now. She has pretty paint and much improved handling, but I don't think she's quite BOTM material.

Thanks for the nomination. I didn't know about BOTM until now so not familiar with the process... Here are a few pics of my recently completed K1. Excuse the seat, working on that...
