A couple of stories about Brad:

Rick, what a surprise - I guess after all those years and miles traveled, “something” will eventually happen. Overall still a lucky outcome.

I wonder why they put the hand shifter on the right? I gather Corser is not bothering to use the clutch?

No rear suspension on the BMW. That has to be a $100,000 machine he is flogging.

Those days are likely over. Beyond the fact that several key members are no longer with us, I would now be showing up in a Guzzi.
