I figured it out that it was indeed your "friend." I emailed him to connect/ask. He claims to be one and the same, but he said you don't have any friends! :-( That's the thanks you get! I could tell he was just being bratty. What a character! Just thought you should know what's going on behind your back! <BR/><BR/>Btw, he's wrong.

Had I not converted my F800ST into a chopper by folding the front forks in two directions, smashing six ribs, and having to be cut out of my summer riding gear I would have been there like a waitress on a tip. I have a three+ month recuperation ahead of me. Then the bike shopping starts ( there's aleays a bright side -- besides getting to ride with Clyde).<BR/>Hope to make the next big ride by the Fall.BMW-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17923099195434220681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-37691916380672931372008-06-03T10:15:00.000-04:002008-06-03T10:15:00.000-04:00Motonomad,Being targetted by Jack in one of his ex...Motonomad,<BR/><BR/>Being targetted by Jack in one of his expose's is a badge of honor.

Although there may be several logical explanations for this, I like this one...<BR/>Since our bikes are both BMWs (blue and outfitted similarly), the unfortunate Dick, in the early stages of dementia of one form or another, thought this was his bike. This theory might lend credence to a popular theory being espoused concerning his recent accident: Maybe he mistook the huge boulder he hit for you.motonomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11957968205027911381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-69386038095102752952008-06-02T14:46:00.001-04:002008-06-02T14:46:00.001-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-84362237018976614612008-06-02T14:46:00.000-04:002008-06-02T14:46:00.000-04:00Dear Dick:There is no need to rush things.

Plus, as Pete pointed out, we had a much better time with Clyde, who talks less and makes more sense when he does.<BR/><BR/>I think we are going to do this trip again in the fall, and there is every hope that you will be recovered enough to join us by then. <BR/><BR/>Fondest regards,<BR/>JackJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-20130930719979504622008-05-29T09:35:00.000-04:002008-05-29T09:35:00.000-04:00I'm being discharged --nay purged from the hospita...I'm being discharged --nay purged from the hospital.today.
