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

Phoenix originally restored in stock 1981 blue paint looked too good to paint over. Spare tank, fender, and side panels purchased for painting yellow.
Phoenix as Roberto “Oso” Acevedo would have restored it. This is how Phoenix ‘appears’ within the novel.
