The current lineup looks like it will be Ural and MZ, but Cagiva is now a distinct contender as of Friday. THis of course is all dependent on how soon I can get a shop built, which is what is currently consuming my time. I hope to have my doors open January 2003 The sad part of this is that I need to establish a substantial cash base to make this happen, so all four of my bikes went into the paper this weekend. The ZRX rolled out of the garage this morning. Someone is coming to pick up the Magna tomorrow. There has been a call for the W650, but worse of all, someone is coming to look at the KLR this afternoon. This was a tough decision, but when you need to show a substantial amount of cash and you have $14-17K dollars in motorcycles sitting in the garage, the choice is obvious. Gino

Cool. Now we have a place to test ride every bike on the floor and then get on the internet and post to the entire world that you prices are too high, your service shop is crap, you don't stock parts for that 1973 two stroke we own, you sold out to the industry, etc, etc, etc. Being serious now... What type of shop, where, etc? Pat / Austin

Gino - I have only been on the list for a few months, but it has been an enjoyable and enlightening time. Thank you for all your effort and time in keeping the list going so well. I wish you the best in all your endeavors and look forward to your future participation on the list. Ride safe Jim

You ought to add Bimota and Enfield to that lineup--two more brands that are never actually seen on the road. Actually, I saw a Ural putting around town last year. The rider was decked out in an old leather flying cap and goggles, going for that romantic prehistoric motorcyclist look, I guess. Kind of like Harley owners. I'll bet it would be fun to watch somebody ride a Ural into the middle of a crowd of true-(red, white, and-)blue Harley owners. Good luck, Gino. Dreas

Don't know what point you were trying to make, Dreas. But if it is any consolation, 80% of all US dealers selling Ural, also sell Harley. Put that in your pipe and take a puff. Gino

Best of luck Gino. It's sure going to be tough (fun) deciding which new bike to turn into your demo ride every few months, yup. -Scott In a message dated 4/6/02 2:23:32 PM Eastern Daylight Time, k650dsn@... writes: << Listers, A couple of months ago, I decided to pursue the opportunity of starting my own motorcycle dealership.

Thanks for all of your support and I hope everyone will give Ed their support in administering this great list. I will still be on list to throw in my two cents on some topics, just not as often as I would like. Gino >>
