Seriously though it’s an honor to be featured on EEweb, among greats like Bob Pease. I’m truly not worthy. But definately checkout the interview!

EEweb is a fantastic home-base for electrical engineering stuff across the board, and it’s been a great resource to keep up on all things EE.

I’m going to cover everything someone would want to know in order to travel Iceland, especially by Motorcycle!

Country Rode Motowerks

New York State’s Oldest BMW Motorcycle Retailer

- Since 1998 -
Troy Rank and his fiance, Kerra took a very unusual motorcycle trip last June. They flew to Iceland where they rented an F650GS to tour around. If you followed their Blog, you’ll already know a bit about this adventure.Troy has offered to come to CRM and tell you more about this exciting trip and show photos of picturesque Iceland. This will be very interesting as this is not a place most of us would consider for a motorcycle tour. Troy may be familiar to some of you as he sometimes helps out CRM on the sales floor. Don’t miss this fun event.
