A lot has changed!
Well boys, girls, ladies and gents... A lot has changed since I frequented this board. I still don't own any subies for better or worse. The M5 is still the best DD I have ever owned! I am also going to be a homeowner in a couple months!! I am buying a house in Bedminster NJ and I could not be more excited! Then again, there is little that doesn't stir me anymore
 I do miss all you guys with whom I had become close with. I am still trying to finger out if I will be able to make it to Reading this year with all the insanity going on right now. My bike is in 1,739,741 pieces (I didn't know it had that many) getting a full repaint and polishing the engine, wheels,trans, etc... Getting a full rebuild on all accessories (engine and trans only have 2500miles on them). Getting assembled properly instead of half assed by two fat guys in Georgia named Bob. I still have some lingering SVX parts around here which I may use to decorate my new 2 car garage which will house 4 motorcycles and the 5. How is everyone else doing? Hopefully all is well and everyone is getting ready for Reading?? Tom

Re: A lot has changed!
Hey, since you will have a 2 car garage, you should be able to make room for another SVX, huh?

Re: A lot has changed!
Sounds like life is good for you. I'm glad to hear it and glad to know that you still love that BMW as much as when you got it.
 By the way do you still have a list of the SVX parts you have left?

Re: A lot has changed!
just a couple bits... Mostly engine parts that will make good space takers on a garage wall.
Hows things been?? I don't think I will be getting another SVX... Money pits don't work well with a single income home... Hell the money I saved not dumping it into a car is what helped me afford this place Tom

Re: A lot has changed!
Congrats. On Monday, I worked my way back into home ownership too. No mortgage for me this time though.

Re: A lot has changed!
Hi Tom-
You really DO miss the SVXi, don't you?   On the West coast a 'Beemer' has two wheels and a 'Bimmer' has four... is one of your bikes a Beemer? C

Re: A lot has changed!
Hey Tom,
I'm glad you are doing well and I hope you are able to make it to reading this year as it will be my first year that I'm able to actually make it instead of being a forum ***** and just drooling over pictures! You've helped me a ton with my SVX as well as inspired me to never stop dreaming and trying out new things that some people may not back you for. I hope I get to meet you at reading but if not I'm sure our paths will cross some day. Thanks again for all you've given this community!
