Welcome back! I still have a BMW GSA 1250 in the garage, but its not getting many miles on it. My longest trips on it I haven't even taken me out of the County yet. Medical issues have kept me...

Thanks! Early on in this career I was spooked by other stores failing, it left an impression upon me.

I remember selling Windsor Chairs to Chesapeake Furniture in the late 1980's, very nice...

Many years since this post was updated.....

A potential customer came into the store this week and sort-of complained where the store is located "It was a long ride to get here and I NEVER come to...

Thought ya'll might like to see who is on the other end of the phone when you call. This photo of myself, my wife of 30 years, and our daughter taken last month at my brother-in-law's wedding in...

That's a rough time, Larry - so sorry to hear about your brother. It's a very hard thing to lose someone from a slowly wasting disease.

This is a subject near and dear to my heart.

I remember sitting in a Dr. Bronster's office in November 2005. He told me I was terminal with my wife sitting by my side, and that I could expect...

Thought I would share this, because its a big deal to me. I just hit the 7-year mark post-op from my stage IV cancer. Had my last cancer test this past week and sailed through it. My surgeon, the...

Absolutely.

You're going to have Jimmy Moore give you a tour, Marjorie, and that's quite a treat. Jimmy - who is in his 70's - is a real character and that's his very favorite thing to do, show off his...

Welcome to the forum Ben - If you are in the finish restoration business, perhaps we can all learn from you, too! Many forum readers are hesitant to attempt their own minor touch-ups on things and...

<laughing> Thanks!

I've never grown too big (obviously, since its a 1-man operation) so my business formula probably isn't correct - heck, I KNOW its not correct - to maximize profits its a...

Hi Diane,

Thanks for the kind words! Most appreciated. I figure everyone should have a right to know a little background about someone they are entrusting their order to - so its my way of just...

Pretty much that's right on the money. I happen to like well-made things, and detest shoddy goods. My experience in life is that you usually "get what you pay for" as the saying goes, and then the...

There are, but its not *my* bike <g>. I have a heavily customized BMW that is set up for me to ride miles n' miles in comfort. Stock bikes are horrid! I just need to strike out and do it - takes a...

Jake,

Thats hilarious! I was at the Deerfield Grand Union (wasn't it Store # 752 ?) all the time while you were there. I was assigned to the Boca store # 710 out on US 441. Do you remember a...

Jake, you sound like my identical twin brother and we were separated at birth!

Ahhh...yes, the Cherohala Skyway, what a great road...big speeds, big sweepers. I like to come up from Telleco...

Yes it is, made taller even than stock because I put OHLINS on it front and rear, it such a great bike though. Takes a month or so to adapt to that tall seat height (I have a 30" inseam and the seat...

Hi Peter,

Thanks! My ride is a 06 R1200GS BMW, and last year we rode from one end to the other on Skyline / Blue Ridge Parkway, from Front Royal down to Deal's Gap. It was a LOT of curves (never...

A lot of folks think the "DR" in DRCOLLIE stands for doctor, but it doesn't - they're just my first and middle name initials (hey, maybe I'm a doctor of furniture?)

Since I own this forum, and...
