[dsn_klr650] sold bmw -- bought a15

[Weaver, Mark]

welcome to the monkey house, mark. now you just have to go get it all dirty and yucky. where did you buy it? not sure of the date, but if folk are interested (and some seem to be), we might try to get together a little norcal weekend ride and camp up into mendocino nat'l forest or something. likely the 2nd or 3rd weekend in august. mw
