I was waiting to email you until I knew my schedule. Monday is still not certain, but if you have time on Monday, I can try to make it happen. Mike,

We didn't get out this weekend because we all had different things going on. Any idea when you will be available to show us the Changwon shop? We have three bikes here who could use some of his expertise. I finally got to see the videos, man they look great! Mike Jeff,

Humble, but great. I can't wait until things start to turn green in a couple of weeks. I had a great two-day ride last weekend with 9 other bikes and a total of 13 riders. You should seriously come over here for a weekend! I know the H.O.G. guys here go to Japan once a year and the Japan HOG comes here. My helmet cam is exactly that....a cam in a helmet. I just use a normal digital camera (mine is a Kodak V705) velcro-ed to the chin guard of my helmet inside the visor....so the camera is between my nose and the visor. Ben,

Bad to the bone, indeed. Awesome videos, and some sweet roads there. That really does look like a beautiful country. I may have to throw my bike on a ferry some time and join y'all for a ride. And you're making me seriously covet your helmet cam. Great to see that you’re back in the saddle again!

If you give me an email addy I can send you my home/cell phone. So, this guy can do my warranty work then? I am overdue for my 1000 mile service. If you are available Tues or Wed night this week it would be great. I could meet you over there by the Outback. I am thinking of heading to Daechon for the Korea Bike weekend. I just got informed its this weekend. Thanks, Mike Jeff,

Unless they are in the spam or from blocked IP addresses I read every one. Anyway, it was a great short ride that day. Left Kimhae at 7:30 am and was home in Pusan by 2:00 pm and we were riding fairly slowly. There are tons of great little rides in the area. The repair guy in Changwon is a fully authorized HD repairman. He can do anything except computer diagnostics, and that is because he doesn't have the equipment. I would be happy to meet up with you some evening in Changwon and show you where the place is. It's a bit tricky to find at first. Just let me know how to get in touch with you. Mike,

It gave me some ideas for a nice day ride. It's great to see your well enough to get back to riding! If you ever read this comment could you drop a line to let me know how to get a hold of your indy guy in Changwon. I need a place close to Chinhae to get my Road King serviced.

The Gimhae countryside is perhaps one of the most beautiful places I've ridden through (via car) in Korea and I've eaten at a few literal mom and pop places in the Gimhae countryside that probably haven't changed since the old days. There are a few restaurants that still heat their rooms with those huge massive stoves constructed in the middle of the quarters. Thought of you Sunday while in Jinhae meeting friends. I saw a motorcycle gang all dressed up in those fake police outfits you once wrote about. Hilarious! At first I thought they were real cops until I saw them all drive off the street and start cruising the sidewalk. Haven’t been to the Miryang area but it looks gorgeous.
