No rattlers though, so I should count my blessings.<br /><br />Reading your tales is like following a new interesting road.

It's like having ripe in your saddlebag everywhere you go. When you undress for bed, there he is, you pause at work and look up and there he is.

The stick ladies on that Kawasaki were a lot of fun... And real sweeties by and large. The best and worst times I ever had with women on a motorcycle was detailed in the previous four part serial.<br /><br />I am compelled to point out that ADK, like Cantwell, Ihor, and Bregstein, is one of my closest friends... And as such has license to grow on me "like a boil." He waves that license in my face often.<br /><br />Thank you for reading Twisted Roads and for leaving a comment. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/ReepJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-52448180594388621042011-06-08T17:55:58.360-04:002011-06-08T17:55:58.360-04:00I can't decide if I want to go motorcycle camp...I can't decide if I want to go motorcycle camping with a stick or riding in a vette with a blond...winner either way.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10224016448511521446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-26349684935497433142011-06-08T15:13:52.990-04:002011-06-08T15:13:52.990-04:00The reason I suggested saving the lump and removin...The reason I suggested saving the lump and removing your balls was to save you any confusion and future embarassment, as the one item looked sort of useful, and the other two didn't.

Not every man would dedicate hours of his day determining what sort of clap the locals have gotten from wayward sheep. And while it was true I built a fragile career out of falsehood and political skullduggery, once I was bought, I stayed bought. You won't find that kind of integrity back on Stowe-By-The-Barley, or wherever the hell you came from. <br /><br />I will never forget I came to you, concerned about a huge lump on my balls. Your advice was to save lump but tp remove my balls. I didn't think that could be accomplished, but one of my former wives had no trouble.<br /><br />The only reason I sought a second opinion that day was the manner in which you said, "Put your balls in my hands." It sounded like a well-rehearsed line in the kind of bar I usually avoid. <br /><br />See you in July.<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack R.Jack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-4259731421406396702011-06-08T13:54:32.713-04:002011-06-08T13:54:32.713-04:00Great story, as always; right up there with the de...Great story, as always; right up there with the demonic squirrel story (http://www.vtwinmama.com/demonic_squirrel_riding_story.htm) I still snort Mountain Dew out my nose reading that one...Dan Mckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10753099533481777012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-92096969643746658372011-06-08T13:09:12.420-04:002011-06-08T13:09:12.420-04:00Yes, that was Kelly.

But a more accurate assessment might be Olivia Wilde, "13" in the House series. <br /><br />It should be noted that in my 40's, I found a blond and hung up my spurs. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/reepJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-60699280447654690022011-06-08T11:34:48.920-04:002011-06-08T11:34:48.920-04:00Dear Richard M. :
