STORY AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY KIT PALMER
I
've been to plenty of BYOB parties before but
none of them were like this. This one was a
thousand times better. Instead of being asked
to bring my own booze, I was asked to build my
own Beta. I must admit, it wasn't much of a party,
but it was one of the best evening's I've ever spent
at home, because it was spent on the computer
on Beta's website, clicking on all kinds of cool
accessories and up-products that I was going to
have installed on my brand new 2014 Beta 520
RS dual sport. (Unfortunately, it was only going to
be mine for a few months, but that's better than
nothing.) You see, I was participating in Beta's
BYOB (Build Your Own Beta) program.
