The last time I was in Manley Cycle, the front room was packed so full of bikes waiting for service I could barely reach the front counter. WTF?

And now they’re closing?!

Oh no, wait. My mistake. They’re evolving.

Dammit. I hate evolution. I really like Heather, Mark and Tom and some of those other guys I see back in the loud place in back. I don’t want them to evolve. I want them to stay put, just the way God creationed them to be.

It’s a damn good thing Zack has made MotoPrimo bearable again. Too bad he’s the only guy who got the memo about how passe it is to be smug. Just wait. When Italian bikes go the way of the pet rock, we’ll see who comes beggin’ for spare change.

I suppose I’d have an entirely different attitude about MotoPromo if I could actually afford the shiny stuff that hypnotizes me every time I show up to buy a $90 Ducati part.

Has anyone actually had work done at Roy’s? I just went to one of their parties. So now I think of Roy’s as the Chico State or AZU of secondary schools.
