The motorcycle tales twist & turn taking on ironies that only seem fit for movies or novels.
The whole story of Brandon's travails interacts with this story and almost can't be told over a forum thread but sometime maybe we'll try. It's the kind of stuff best told over a few beers and more.
I found this and BME (the shop that I work for) ended up buying it today.
WHAT IS IT?

Cool!...looks like a Boxer Cup replica... ;D
BINGO!
2003 R1100S Boxer Cup Replika
#37 of only 200 produced worldwide that year.
1600 miles and it's perfect --- cherry-bo-berry!!
Boss-ski loves it.
I'll post more pics later.

My thoughts exactly. What I'd really like from 2003 is a 998FE.
But..... back to the Boxer Cup ......... more tidbits

Quite true. A Honda RC51 is svelte by comparison. [laugh] The pictures don't quite do it justice and once you start looking at all the little details all you can say is wow. Still, there is a reason why they never caught on big time and it wasn't just a cost factor.
Are you going to be at the shop at all on Saturday? If I tire of renovation, I may swing thattaway for a looksee.

I reckon I'll be there around 12 noon to 3. I might be there sooner depending on when the cable guy gets here to change out the DVR in the morning.
