"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

Really good article!
It could have been longer when I enjoyed to read about The Man. This is what RC stood for when I got to know about Russ Collins race parts and the man himself on the strip. We all here had huge respect for The Man and brand with the same name. I was very proud with RC parts on and in my bike. Pistons and 4-1 that I sold for 30 years ago.

Sweden is far away from where everything took place.

NOS RC 4-1 for a CB750 would be perfect!  ::)
