ZZ OL ZZ,
I like that line of reasoning the shop owner has, but I'm the same as you, find the money first, they won't give the bikes away for some reason. Ride today was the second time this week I barely beat the pop up T'Storm of the afternoon. It got black as a cow's insides to the northwest as I rode, you could see the line as I ride through the cotton fields north of our home. Got to the house and got put everything away and here comes the rain and thunder. Whew.
