    Sounds great to me. I'd happily saw off my right pinky finger in exchange for the ability to earn a decent living in a small town.

    Hi Marshall, my husband has a BMW R100RS too - think his is 1983 or 1984 so it should be similar to yours. His is also in excellent condition and he gets it serviced (the bits he can't do himself) at Motorad (Wellington) with Michael Dobson. He has always been very happy with the work Michael has done and says he really knows the bike as (I think) he has one himself.

    They are ALWAYS seeking good doctors in Levin - it's not a bad place, 110kms from Wellington and 50kms from Palmerston North. Good climate, good schools (so we've heard, we don't have kids), surrounded by market gardens so good veges too.
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    I should have qualified that statement.

    I'd happily saw off my right pinky finger in exchange for the ability to earn a decent living in a small town in New Zealand.

    Not that Australia's that bad, really. It's just full of Australians.

    Anyway, I'm not really a lost, violent soul. I am, in fact, a hollow man, a stuffed man.
