A Painful wait!

Post by Rolando33 »

I don't know if I can "handle" this. Like a narcotic with-drawl. I'm stuck with a cast on my left arm, and can't ride for 4 more weeks (long story--don't ask why). I've got 3 sweet Bavarian rides (well the Cafe Racer project is in process---so no ride anyways).

Rebuilt with Bavarian parts and supplied with Bavarian fuel. I was told I will have a 33% increase in shift speeds! Can't wait to try it out. Due date--March 15th :p

Well Rolando, even with the Pain, I see you haven't lost your sense of humor or ability for witty posts... :D
Your attention to detail is appreciated.


Hang in there, 4 weeks shall blow by quickly... I was unable to ride for 7 weeks with pins in my foot and that period was quick in hindsight.




It can take a good 4 weeks online to properly research and plan a long ride....

It takes more than a broken arm to stop a bloke from having a beer!

Thanks guys! Yea, had to make a joke out of it some how. When they asked me what color on the cast, I said of course "BMW Blue!" That is when the idea came about for the logo and beer.

It wouldn't be so tough were it not for the damn nice weather we are having this winter here. :x
