Finished a 150-mile Poker Run today. Saw some beautiful scenery and the weather was just right, almost fall-like. We didn’t have a good hand, but we did get a special card entering us into a drawing for that giant Honda VLX bike. If we win, we’ll sell it and get one of those new Minis.
It was nice to see so many different riders represented. In today’s bike market, it makes about as much sense to buy a Harley as it does a Cadillac. There are just too many good choices out there. But, hey, if ya need the brand identity, go for it.
The nicest thing about BMWs is how easy they are to work on. In 20 minutes today, I popped out all the brake pads and resurfaced them. Voila! No more break squeal! (Das skreechen in der squeezum-stoppens ist kaput!)
