July 2010 Miscellaneous Pictures

A bunch of X Countrys are in stock

This is an old shirt. It's from the days when Honz worked out of the back room at the restaurant where he had his real job.

An R69S model. Buy this and give it to Marilyn. She loves motorcycle models.

Marilyn got some city bags for her R100 Mystic.

Jesse kisses Sally. Jesse likes Sally.

This odd colored Nolan N103 helmet is on sale for $250, normally $400. It's an XS, however.

Here's a Torrent jacket. Nice looking jacket for 99 bucks!

Kevin has a hot dog at the 2nd hot dog roast on the 17th. Sally/Piggy watches... just in case.

Isn't that sweet? They even sleep in formation.

An exciting Saturday at the dealer.

They're almost gone! Come and get one.

A customer's bike. Sweet!

Kevin fixed the lights under the counter so you can see that Fielding is still on the floor.

And everyone else is still smiling from behind the counter.

’09 R1200GS Sale–$15,990

Mar — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 00:48:06 +0000

Honz used to have eight of them. Now he’s got four. All yellow. He wants them gone by June 30. Don’t like yellow? He can swap body panels for those coming from BMW. That’s first come, first serve. The glitch is that Honz doesn’t know what color body panels are coming! It will be a surprise.
