Visited RR the other day. Flew from Sydney, Australia to Atlanta, Georgia and dropped in on the way past to South Dakota.
What a collection. After decades of mostly lonely RE5 ownership, here I was walking between several aisles stocked with RE5 parts while being followed by a dutiful lady with a shopping trolley (Barbara). Died and gone to heaven.
Had to be careful that the eyes weren't bigger than the wallet (they were, but what can you do).
Also had the absolute privilege of riding Jess's personal bike. Perfectly tuned and revving clean. My first go at the new electronic ignition as well. What a treat.
Met Zach and had a good look at his custom white machine. Lovely bike beautifully put together. A real eye catcher. Jess had a Van Veen undergoing service so saw under the tank and behind some engine cases.
Don't miss the opportunity to see this place. I only regret that I never got up to visit Sam.
