Specialks at the Quail Motorcycle Gathering, May 7th.

Hi all,

Craig Vetter invited me and Carol to the Quail last weekend, and I took three bikes. It was amazing. In two weeks we are going to the 49er, and testing the waters as a vendor.

We met Stephen Burns, the MOA staff photographer at the Quail. He sent me this link to the phots he took there.

I am putting a business plan together and hope to sell a few custom builds. I have not had a steady job since October of '08, but have had the kids living temporarily with me since that time so bieng home has been incredible. This past March I finally won the custody battle, after 7 years it is over!

So far, since 10.08 I have built 5 bikes and sold one. Carol and I both think our time is here and our venture is about to take off. Look for us in the July issue of BMWMOA ON, and an up coming Motorcyclist Magazine online article in the Wild File feature. I still have a large attorney bill that I have been whittling down, and a few bike orders would be just what we need now. Check out the For Sale page, I have dismantled the LT and it is morphing into a Specialk, so I have bits for sale. I am selling everything I can. The money is to finance the trips to the various venues this year.

Next up after the 49er is the Huntington Beach Concoursd'Elegance, then the Rodeo Drive Concourse and the MOA rally in Redmond Oregon. Remus is designating a display area for my bikes on their patch of ground.

I could use some K11OG t-shirts if any are still available...would be good to plug the club, eh?

Thanks for all the support and encouragement, you guys are great.

Now, I'd love to split lanes with that!

Home away from home. We rented a Uhaul and borrowed a friend's Mercury Mountaineer. Soon we will have our own setup.

"Sweet" came to my mind.
Ride safe.

The blue color on that K is stunning.

EDIT: looks like from your other pictures that it isn't blue at all, but gunmetal grey?
