Eddie: "Lisa, this is Charlie Coons--John's father."
Lisa: "John's dad? No way?"
Charlie: "It's true. I am."
Lisa" "really....? SHUT UP!"
Charlie: "since you're a first-timer at the MOA, here's a token good for a free beer at the beer garden..."
Lisa: "well, ok then....."
Apparently, either the fact that John had a father; that his father would admit to it publicly; or that his father would be at a BMW Rally left Lisa rather incredulous. The promise of free beer quickly remedied the situation.
Just for grins, I took the K1100RS.
Hadn't ridden it much at all since the '05 IBR.
To repay me for the neglect, it started leaking at the rear main seal,
and took out the clutch for good measure.
