News Release- Hopz Buys BMW.
Posted: Mon May 14, 2007 5:52 pm
For Immediate Release
Usually reliable sources have reported that Hopz, aka Bob, has completed the purchase and is in posession of a Dark Metallic 1995 R1100R Roadster BMW.
Scientists have been checking on unusual seismic activity, abnormal sun spots, and global warming, but so far no one can find reliable reasoning behind Hopz's actions. Historically Hopz has been a rider since 1991 of only Harley-Davidson brand motorcycles, and there is no rational explanation for this purchase. One can only assume that given his advanced age, some slip has occured in his normally rational behavior.
The R11R as it is called was advertised on Craig's list in his hometown and after several weeks of fruitless attempts at contact- the unit was finally inspected last Sunday, and on Monday negotiations began in earnest.
While the unit was considerably dirty, investigations revealed that the unit had been last serviced by Motorcycle R and R. MR&R is a highly respected independent shop of the highest caliber of workmanship. The leaders of that fine establishment were able to confirm many points of the units history and even a list was generated of its defects. Hopz, after considerable search was able to make monetary offfers that encompassed the necessary work, and after some thought the seller "saw the light" and conceded to Hopz's final, all-in offer.
Both parties seemed pleased at the conclusion of the talks, and The grin on Hopz's face was estimated at 100watts, minimum.
It is expected that in the near future intensive cleaning and inspection will occupy his time and reports of the findings will be issued periodically. An early bulletin revealed the presence of ABS brakes and heated grips, neither of which showed up on the bill of particulars made by the seller. In addition, the BMW system cases appeared to be in fine shape showing only normal signs of useage.
The H-D community was not entirely despondent as it was confirmed that the new unit was to be stable mate and not a replacement. Sighs of relief were noted from the Salt Lake area, as well as in the locations of his recent past buddies in Houston, and Florida.
Stay tuned for reports... we now return you to your previously scheduled program.
