Saturday morning I woke up and made Reeses Pieces cookies for the service guys at Motoprimo. I started doing this last year when my Yamaha was in for recall work. The guys turned the job around quickly for me, on the promise of cookies.

I brought them three dozen, ensuring that they included the service manager’s favorite flavor: peanut butter & chocolate. He declared, “You know the way to a fat man’s heart!”

Motoprimo offers food on Saturdays to its patrons. Burgers, sandwiches, veggies and sometimes pastries. Many a morning I’ve eaten for free at Motoprimo. I figure I spend enough there to make it all come out even. I never knew what they did with the leftovers, however.

The burgers they were grilling got overcooked when they went unclaimed (motorcycle dealerships are ghost towns once the temps drop below 40^o), so a couple of the techs took the “carbon fiber” discs and were chucking them across the street.

One tech declared this was one of his two favorite things to do on Saturday mornings. The other was take the Bonneville out for a spin. It was too cold for that, so his only joy was flinging burgers.

You can see why I like these guys.

So, after much proclamations of love for bringing over a dozen cookies in, I may have another lead on a powdercoater for my Kawi Ninja project. eBay has been my primary source for old bike parts for the Ninja project. I’ve hunted a bit at Roy’s Repair, to no avail. I wish there were more local places to find old parts.

I think it’s about time to start tearing down my Ninja, I don’t have much faith it will be warm enough for a ride now in Minneapolis. Damn our short riding season! I did see two motorcyclists out today. Crazies.
