My friend Morgan promised to help me wrestling the Galaxie out of storage today.
But i started the day with helping an Austrian tourist. He had a new BMW R1250
Paris daccar clone, he wanted a bigger"foot" on his side stand beacuse stock one would
not suport the bike on soft ground.
He gave me some realy good beers.brewed in his hometown.

Very nice stuff Heo! The AJS is super cool. I'm amazed to see the quality of muscle cars that have made their way over to your area.
