Will you be moved by then?  I am glad to see that you plan on keeping involved after your move and the downsizing of your two wheeled inventory.

I once heard John Penton state that " Variety is the spice of life, in everything except women".  I might be wrong, but the different variety of riding that you plan on doing probably has put a little more fire into you, if that is possible :)

Won't be moving for a few years.  Have to get Kaleb out of college and settled somewhere working.  Cleaned out/sold a ton from the shop but still working on Pentons and building a few engines.  Doing a beautiful MZ 250 ISDT project right now.  Was going to sell it but when I started to assemble it to ship, I just couldn't part with it.  I just finished a beautiful January 73 Piner and will hopefully be using it for transportation at Mid Ohio.  Still planning on having 2 spots this year beside the POG to sell the rest of my project bikes and some other stuff.  Glad M/O was moved to a later weekend, see you all there![:p]

Did you get the BMW 800 yet?

Not yet, there is only one dealer in Indiana and the price is set in stone right now.  My son graduates from college in May and I have one more large payment to make on his education and then I will be on the hunt.  Besides, I don't like the color options of the new 800's, they need to be more aggressive like the "09" model colors!;)
