Jim was entirely right about that. We had too many dealers, no 
infrastructure for them, and not enough bikes to deliver. Plus, a dealer 
ordinarily gets 30 days or more to pay, and we couldn't afford to offer 
that. So I agree with all he says here. I'm really sorry he's closed, 
though. We've got our cool Hiawatha poster up here and It's strategically 
placed right across the room from me, so I get to look at it every time I 
look up. JIm, we were proud to be in Hiawatha, it is still the coolest bike 
shop name ever, I had a frightfully delicious buffet there once, and good 
luck to you in whatever's next.
Our new dealer search is going slowly, carefully, and in a smaller way. 
We've learned. I am just sorry we made it hard for you, Jim. Didn't deserve 
it!

B,

Grant
