We came up to a set of twisties, and I told the gnome shovelling coal to get ready, it's going to be tough to keep up with her on the new bike.MattPiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13478095197681336275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-37398091687514517792013-04-15T15:45:40.995-04:002013-04-15T15:45:40.995-04:00Dear Sir:

You side-step the invisible, understand the incomprehensible, and pull off the inconceivable — in my work. <br /><br />Then you write me a letter implying I'm fat. Of all the people you and I ride with, only a small minority of about nine think you are a prick.

He is allegedly to be an amazing guy. <br /><br />By the way, I never said or wrote that the BMW "R" bike was first documented in the US Civil War. It has turned up in very primitive cave paintings in France.<br /><br />Fondest Regards,<br />Jack/reep<br /><br />Jack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-91537045261858036092013-04-15T15:33:31.222-04:002013-04-15T15:33:31.222-04:00Dear CPA3485:

I must admit I laughed out loud at the latest encounter enjoyed by Mr Dickstein.<br /><br />I must correct your statement within that particular letter though: the lady said:" it's the one you see in all those old black and white pictures of the Civil War. It's the one with those jug things sticking out on the side." to which I must respond:<br /><br />Not so! It wasn't the civil war where these paragons of teutonic motorcycling design first appeared...after all the first use of the horizontally-opposed pistons engine design...blah blah blah...boring tech crap....mind numbing statistics and figures...THEREFORE, you should really get the facts straight. <br /><br />Yours truly, an airhead owner, not a part of the 99% thereof.<br /><br />domredlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-734033617119018842013-04-12T08:37:01.508-04:002013-04-12T08:37:01.508-04:00Dear Jack:

The shirt I was wearing at the time of this photograph is clearly emblazoned with "I am a BMW riding douche bag". <br /><br />On a more serious note, "Salami Bikers International"? Where do you come up with this shit? I never knew laughing could be this painful. <br /><br />Respectfully,<br />Woody<br />CEO, Hellen Keller School of Photography <br /><br />P.S.
