Check out this new t-shirt that Marklyn has in. It’s pre-shrunk 100% cotton for you cotton lovers. The material is designed to fade with washing to add to the “classic” look of the shirt.

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.

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.

This BMW luggage is very useful. I have this bag and use it all the time:

Marklyn ordered in some new t-shirts. This one is black on black. The women’s version is silver on black.

Dyno report for the S1000RR. It's hard to read but it says 184.2 hp at the rear wheel.
