Different kind of UDF last night. I went to my first Cyclegear Bike Night in years yesterday. I've always gone to the one in Schaumburg, IL in the past, but went to one in Bolingbrook because I was invited. It was effing packed. Buddy Casey's Ural was there but he was at the other end of the whack of bikes. Casey asked me to come down. He lives in Bolingbrook. It's an hour plus ride for me.

Back to the UDF. As I'm backing into the only spot big enough to fit Arpok, I can hear someone shout, "It has reverse". There's about a dozen people asking rapid fire questions. They disperse after about 5 minutes, then a middle aged couple with two teenage boys come up to me. The Dad points to the Ukraine flag on my fairing and asks, in an eastern European accent, if I know how to say what's printed in Russian on the Ukraine flag. I tell him that I only know the translation, which is 'Fuck Putin'. He smiled and said, "Yes" Then asked me if I actually knew anything about Ukraine and I told him about my three nieces from Kyiv that were adopted in the early nineties. His eyes got wide and said he and his wife were part of that group of kids and then Mom and Dad both hugged me. That kind of took me by surprise. Before they left, Dad taught me how to say 'Fuck Putin' in Russian. Mom tells me that even though my bike is Russian, it's very nice.

I've got a good stock of parts on hand for the foreseeable future as long as I don't have something catastrophic happen. There still is a good stock of parts in the US and there is still Estonia and Lithuania via eBay. IMZ is also in the process of moving production to Kazakhstan and hopes to be up and running by the end of August.

I sure hope they don't do a Beaufort.

IMZ President: Plant in Kazakhstan is bad. What we do, comrade?
IMZ VP of Produktion: I hear is man in Amerika with name cheesy. Is like Chuck Norris of produktion. Maybe we get him, da?
Pres: Da, we try that. Send Igor and Andrei, give him nice talk.

***********

Igor: Meester cheesy, we hear you good produktion man. How you like to come into Kazakhstan, fix problem in factory?
cheesy: Are you kidding me? I just retired from this other company and still have PTSD from working with those fcukwits.
(Andrei explains to Igor what fcukwit is.)
Igor: Ah da, we have too. We like you coming for one week, look at problem. Give us report. Worth much ruble to us. Maybe come back later as produktion boss.
cheesy: Sounds kinda interesting, but.....
