Bob Shellum: 400,000 Mile Man


Congratulations to our good friend and loyal San Diego BMW Motorcycles client Bob Shellum. Bob just clipped off mile 400,001! A little "small world" background on Bob. About three years ago Bob stopped in for a routine service on his K100RS. Our then newly hired service advisor Stan Lundeen and Bob got to talking and it turns out Bob Shellum is a retired Sergeant Major in the Marine Corps (Stan and I were Marine Corps sergeants only a few short years ago). Furthermore, Bob was close friends with one Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Harold G. Overstreet (a name very familiar to Stan and I from our active duty years). Needless to say Stan and I have been terrified of Sergeant Major Shellum ever since.

Bob has since started racking up the miles on a beautiful 2003 K1200GT and I wouldn't be at all surprised if we're handing over a 500,000 mile award in a few years. Congratulations Bob, beers on us tonight!
