The last quarter of 2004 saw my two favorite businesses go under.
The local BMW motorcycle dealer closed his doors, largely because of idiotic policies of BMW Motorrad USA forcing him to take new bikes faster than he could sell them.
And Galyan's - a broad-spectrum sporting goods and adventure outfitter that started several years ago in Plainfield, Ind., and eventually expanded into several states nationwide - fell on hard times and was gobbled up by aptly-named Dick's.
My New Year's wishes are for a new BMW dealer and new stores by REI and/or Cabela's.
