Just down the street from me. Been there many times.
Fuck these guys. Most expensive repairs, parts, conversations.
Stopped by there a month ago, I was ready for MV Brutal. I had to go in there, announce, someone sell me a motorcycle.
Nothing.
Fuck this place.
Fuck these ppl.

Well, you did mention your ride might go by the track...so that makes you "at" the track if it does. :-D

I think the difference was, I went in when no intention of buying a bike, and Karl wanted to. Go figure. :HeadScratch:

And Karl, you'd look good on a Brutale, give it another chance.

I bought it there, about 2 or 2.5 hours away depending on traffic. In-laws live close to there, so I'm in the neighborhood a lot. Since then I get my work done at Eurosport, and actually apologized to Tony recently for not buying from him. It was just a spur of the moment decision, which I NEVER do, but glad I did.

Next time you're headed to Eurosport, let me know. I'm literally 4 minutes away. We can do lunch/beer/bench racing.

I'll be up there some time next week to pick-up my bike, they FINALLY fot the upper yoke in, everything else was done. They're closed Monday.

May have a friend with me who's looking to take his Moto Guzzi Stelvio up to RPM to see about trading for a new 2015 KTM 1290 Adventure.

At this point, it looks rainy, so we're probably hauling back and forth if he decides to go.

By the way, can I crash bench-racing? :HeadScratch:

Actually, I just do that every so often so miles feels like he's not the only one. Seriously, you probably see a BUNCH of edits on my posts. I type fast, then catch mistakes...dammit.

Yep, I think we actually have a Band of Triumph Brothers these days.
