It's always like this. First, I make an oblique sheep reference, others pretend offense, but slowly secrets start to come out, and then *I'm* the one getting nervous. :eek.



P.S. I had an Audi I got some real sheepskin seat covers for and they were awesome. As you say, cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Well, back in the day, sheepskins were the only thing for your Bimmer. But, no doubt, some owners of upscale VW's discovered the benefits.

BTW - on the German stock exchange, the stock ticker symbol for Audi AG is NSU

You'll have to remind me about what upscale VWs there were, "back in the day". :scratch

The Karmman Ghia convertible. A real girl attractor for a 17 year old cruising the strip in Virginia Beach in the 70s. Even better was a VW based dune buggy....

Getting Italians to design auto bodies was a great move for VW and BMW.
 
Ahhh... back to the original topic :) I’m 73 y/o, and while I’m hoping I have several more years left in me, I am beginning to see the handwriting on the wall. My challenge is mostly (as I see it!) with moving the bike in and out of the garage. We have a moderately sloping driveway right up to the garage door. Even though I have been, or was, going to a gym daily and seeing a trainer weekly, I’m having more difficulty horsing the RT in and out of its parking spot.
