Jim Roche aka Dr. Curve just took delivery on the first HP2 Sport that will see the roads of North Florida and eventually the twisties around Brairsville, GA. The Doctor of Curve is a long time articulate spokesman for the BMW sport bike in this country and one of the most well know supporters of the brand as his postings demonstrate. Jim may look like he's ready for the campfire memory lane talks, but don't be fooled by the old country boy talk. He'll fast be a memory as you see him dissappear from sight if you try to match his skill as an accomplished road racer. He is now seated on the most awesome achievement to date for BMW boxer technology. The debut of #32 was rightfully posted on the Pelical Parts Forum which has long been home to some of the most knowledgeable BMW sport riding cult members than any forum frequented by BMW sport riders. Hopefully Dr Curve who is a member of this forum will undate us on his evaluation of the HP2 just as Dean has informed us about the progress of the HP2 out in the "Skunk Works " at SJBMW. With the Doctor and Chis giving us input from the street and track I'm confident that the HP2 will go down as the pinnacle in boxer development for the next decade. Congratulations to Dr. Curve who is at the moment of this writing "burnishing" his #32 HP deuce as I type.

Bubba, Curve is going to love his HP Deuce, hopefully we will get to ride together one of these days. Is yours on the way as well?

San Jose's 3rd customer HP 2 S is due to arrive at the dealership imminently.

Dean, all of you fast guys can get together at the Tour of the Southern Appalachians in April '09.

Maybe N24 will volunteer to be a ride guide for a day.

Congrats to Jim. It's been quite a will since I rode with him down near Hiawassee, GA
in the old days,
but he's quite a guy and so knowledgeable about bikes/riding. Sure he'll get maximum use outta
this bike!

Arby and Elsie, a Pelican Bud is picking his up from Touring Sport BMW/ Ducati in the morning. With any luck I'll have mine by NLT first week in June. Going to try to talk Curve and Snakepilot into comming up to the Bikehaus in Tryon for a few days of spirited riding. Dean you already have the invite. If necessary I'd get a minimum of an 11S for you to ride if my son ever returns my Harley condo to haul the bikes in from GA.

It's a dream bike for the Colorado Rockies and nearby tracks as well.
