Right you are, Jerry.  Cons, we look forward to meeting you and getting a 
chance to see this new bike of yours.  I have to admit that my own Harley hasn't 
seen a lot of road time lately.  In fact, I was going to break it out today 
for the ride to Hollister.  However, when that cold morning air hit the top of 
my unprotected head, I opted for the comfort of the big BMW.  

So, take a look at the schedule and find a ride that suits you.  Meet us in 
Burlingame for a 7:05 AM start, or pick us up along the way.
