Shop praise

Chopperman · 11-04-2002, 04:58 PM

I'm gonna start this off with some shop praise.

Moto International rocks.

A true enthusiasts shop. These guys dig the ies they sell and the wrrenches know the bikes they fix. I have never heard a line of bull from anyone selling or fixing a bike. I have had them not only bend over backwards for me but have witnessed them bend over backwards for others.

I lived up there in 92 - 93.
I'd drop by there now and then. They rocked the house back then too. I still have my old M I tee shirt. It's getting a bit ratty these days. They used to have some of the coolest used european exotica there too, groovy eighties grey market two stroke bikes and Laverdas and all sorts of neat crap. And a really pretty girl at the parts counter too. I forget her name, but she was sooo nice.

If I head down that way I'll snag you a shirt.

They still handle the coolest stuff. MuZ, Aprilia, Guzzi

Can't wait-

See if that girl is there too.
We can find something for her to do down here in Oakland...

Hmm. I go in there regularly and The only gal in the last several years was Lin. And she left about a year ago. She's one of the gals that got me interested in dual sports. She's chucking a KLR around and Cheryl is beating up a KTM Rallye.

I can't exactly remember the name of the parts girl from waay back. Gotta love girls on knobbies though. Mmmm...
I saw one of the local parts counter divas at a halloween party dressed up as a stormtrooper. Wowza!

Have fun up there.
You ride in the snow? I was on the way to work in the Kent valley early one morning on my old Ducati Pantah. It was snowing and the road was a bit slick. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a jeep cherokee sliding sideways past me on hwy 5, they finally got it frontways again and stopped on the median.
Talk about getting your attention.

Hope you don't mind, but I put the vendor's name in the subject. Makes the thread just an RCH more useful.

I only ride slow if it is offroad. i.e. dirt road or a ditch. snow on pavement blows.

what next, are you going to adjust the contents of messages? correct spelling? :mad:

cyclecat · 11-05-2002, 10:22 AM

Hey, Chop. I think that "w" at the beginning of your sentence is supposed to be an upper-case "W." In fact, I'd say "What next" should have been a sentence, and therefor followed by a "?" Then start off the next sentence with a capital "A" for "Are you..."

Come on, Fish! Get with the program here. Are you gonna continue to allow this kind of stuff to slip through? What are we paying you for, Slacker?

listen ignatz, since this is the vendor forum, I would expect people would want to search the forum for the name of a particular vendor. I'm not sure the subject "ooooo" will quite satisfy the search gods. But if you really don't want to have the name of the vendor you are heaping praises on in the subject of your post, I'll be glad to change it back.

Chopperman · 11-05-2002, 11:55 AM
