Hey guys,

That is what Calgary looked like yesterday, now its about 6 deg C and overcast. I drove from Palm Springs to Phoenix last Saturday and it was 100 deg F, Phoenix up until I flew back on Thursday was in the high 80s F.

Will be going back on October 21st.

Well his dad must be very proud. I'm a car dealer and my kids have all worked for me at one time or another, and i have to say I can only imagine how hard it must be for "Young Erik".

I'll tell you, he does not seem to take his P.H.D. (Papa Has a Dealership) for granted at all. This was my first visit there and he was very helpfull in deed. He went so far as to photocopy pages from the service manual so i could get the right part numbers and make sure the swap would work on the Canadian bikes. When he figured out i was waiting on my darling young bride shopping, he took me for a tour of the whole back end, we chatted, killed time etc etc. It was really quite refreshing! I'm lucky to have a great relationship with the whole staff at Clare's here at home, otherwise I'd be going "over the river" far more often.

Sorry Marty, but it looks like I accidently  :jack: you. I'll get back on topic going forward
