Re: Chicago BMW Motorcycle - Doomed?

Sorry to hear about your problem with them. They have been one of the less expensive places to buy parts with the 20% discount, but I have heard mixed reports the last few years. Cyclerob says he gets parts quickly. I have had the same experience as you on several occasions and only after telephoni...

Re: System case locks

Well thanks again for the help / pictures. After reading & considering, I think I'll make my own bag [locater ]/[ holder ] in the further out location & use the stock peg & bracket. Lowering the pipe is done. Might look for a 'cat' eliminator later. Want to live with it quite for a bit f...

System case locks

Picked up a set of used system cases for my Roadster.

Billy Joel museum

Anyone ever been to the Billy Joel museum? Or planning on going?

It is in Oyster Bay NY . The magazine coverage it recieved was good. Said to have a good selection of motorcycles, & all brands represented.

I'm hoping to see it later, maybe fall ?

Ron.
