[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1333430, member: 27852"] I'm glad you asked. Nate is working on an old Kawasaki ZRX restoration, but his regular ride is a BMW GS. The story of how he got the beemer is interesting. Nate's wife worked at the BMW shop at the time. One day, Nate arranged for a test ride of the GS. Out of absolutely no where, a dog appeared on the road, he hit it, and crashed. He wasn't hurt (ATGATT). The bike had significant damage, but nothing too serious. Nate's insurance paid the dealership for the damages and then Nate asked them if they would consider not fixing the bike and just selling it to him discounted. They agreed and over the next 6 months, Nate fixed all of the damage himself, using a few aftermarket and used parts where he could. Not exactly the best way to buy a GS, but it makes for an interesting story. [/QUOTE]
