    Kevin Schwantz at the Dallas International Motorcycle show

    So I am set up at the show and out of nowhere KW walks into our booth. Very cool dude, we chatted for about 20 minutes about the GS he rode and the mods they made to his, even signed the tail piece!

        What a treat to have Schwantz drop by. He was fun to watch, it seemed to me he either won or crashed! The stories of the rivalry between him and Wayne Rainey are legend. But they turned out to be friends in the end, nice to see. I guess you'll need to clear coat that tailpiece now.

            Swapping GS stories with Kevin Schwantz is very cool.

                    Common sense has become so uncommon that I consider it a super power.

                      Willie,

                      Maybe I can answer that for you, somewhat.

                      I noticed that logo on his (jwhelan, Joe) shirt in one photo matched the logo on banner in other photo.
                      Banner in other photo also has a phone number (can see if goto linked photobucket pic and zoom in).
                      That phone number leads to this

                      that has same logo

                      Q U O T E

                      Some may call it "stalking". I say it is just being observant and resourceful. har har har

                          Do some SERIOUS research before anything is cleared over..may ruin the marker. I personally would take it off and wrap it to survive a nuclear blast.

                          I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
