....for those of us residing in earthquake prone areas.

I am reminded that when the Northridge, CA quake struck (1985?), its epicenter was 2 miles from my home in the Encino hills of the San Fernando Valley and my 500 lb. BMW R90/6 motorbike jumped off its center stand and fell on its side - gas everywhere from a broken carb spigot. I was in San Diego at the time (2 am?) and the shock woke me up even 130 miles away, so solid supports tend to be on our minds!

P.S. WHERE are our German buddies? That's what started this.
