demo rides in baltimore on 3/23 and 3/24. "bike week for the rest of us" promises to be a bore in baltimore. one of my (many) favorite stories about "my dealer" was when they were having a huge sale the friday and saturday coinciding with the delmarva bike weekend. i asked why they would schedule their biggest sale of the year the same weekend 100 thousand motorcyclists will be 175 miles away and they said they had never heard of the event. i then said i'd really like to buy this rain suit, but i'm leaving town thursday, can i get the discount? the answer, uh, no. i asked to speak with a manager and was told there was none available. these are the same asshats that wanted me to wait a week for them to mount a tire because they don't stock $1.50 rim strips. can you tell i'm less then enthused about "my dealer"?
