Phoenix

Phoenix comes to life!

Today is January 7th (2008) and I just bought a 1981 BMW R80 G/S from Service Manager Dale Beason at BMW of Las Vegas. It’s fully rebuilt and it’s beautiful! Dale is customizing it to become Phoenix from the novel. I’ll post pics as they become available. Look for Phoenix at my novel release party in St. Louis on May 3rd!

Cheers! Mark
