The stars at night are big and bright....

And you know there's no authorized Ric dealer in the DFW area. We only have 6.5 million people living here according to Wikipedia. The closest dealer must be 200 miles away!

Stan is there an authorized Ric dealer out your way?

You kiddin', Troy? I think there are a lot of dealers, just not authorized. :D My Ricks have come from Reno to Chicago, but not one from the Lone Star state.

One of mine came from Fullers in Houston and another one from a shop in Austin, but I bought them both both second-hand.

Gee, I guess I missed this thread. I've been hanging out at BGC mostly these days. Me and Ricks are still in Dallas.

Welcome back Randy. I have an account over there and I usually follow the builds and the technical discussions that are of interest to me. There's some great people as well as some fine artisans there as well.

Well that's better than Kansas! We don't have any authorized Rickenbacker dealers at all.

But still, you've got some within about 200 miles. Here in Northern Montana, we have to go over 800 miles to find the nearest Rick dealer. Of course, we've got to go more than 100 miles to find a Walmart...

Being that far from a Walmart might not be such a bad thing! :lol: :mrgreen:

It's not. The 240 mile drive to Home Depot however...
