The shop I worked at in my youth has become one of the biggest BMW dealers in California. Maybe in a year or so I might pay them a visit.

It'll be interesting to see what the techs come up with. Once in a while I start to think I should get a modern bike, and the idea of a smaller bike capable of some touring and commuting seems appealing.Hairy Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07561143328956868685noreply@blogger.com
