My goal is to write about motorcycling, but in a vein that combines the best eklements of story-telling with the facts. <br /><br />Bob kindly offered me a recommendation that would have enabled me to wrote shorter blog episodes about more diverse subjects. His suggestions were helpful, but not for my circumstances. Wha he did give me was the chance to incoprporate him into a much broader story line — for one episode. <br /><br />My problem is a lot more complicated. In a nutshell, I don't always think the piece I wrote is any good, and I am always tempted to shitcan it before hitting the "publish post" button. That piece about the different seacoasts was destined for the shitcan, except I had nothing else to run in its place. I was surprised to have received so many calls and e-mail notes about it.<br /><br />Another problem I have us my motivation for riding. It is, without a doubt, a throwback to my misspent youth, and a weekend to weekend lifestyle of partying and getting laid. Regretably, the motorcycling part is pretty much all that's left to me. <br /><br />The weather looks like it has finally turned. I hope to be writing less from recollection and more from fresh experience. <br /><br />Thanks for the nice note.<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack • reep • ToadJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-82472798638390543822010-03-14T12:51:07.176-04:002010-03-14T12:51:07.176-04:00"Screw Bob Skoot".

Thank you for the left-handed ...Dear Conchscooter:<br /><br />Thank you for the left-handed compliment. Twisted Roads is the all motorcycle content blog that offers real excitement, cheap adventure, and romance like broken glass. <br /><br />The story counts on this blog. <br /><br />I make no apologies for the language, the sentiment, the plot, or the consequences. To me, the wind in my hair, the open road, and the endless horizon are only enhanced by the bad hotel rooms, the sexual liaisons, the cheap rum, and the friends I have made along the way. They are integral to the ride in my mind. Am I likely to come to a bad end? You bet.<br /><br />Thank you for occasionally reading my blog, when the dog lets you. And if your wife is talking to dog and mentioning you in the third person, than that 1500-miler might be the start of a one-way run.<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack • reep • ToadJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-71544849888022532042010-03-10T15:42:23.387-05:002010-03-10T15:42:23.387-05:00Dear Bob Skoot:
In my opinion, there is nothing m...Dear Bob Skoot:<br /><br />In my opinion, there is nothing more aggravating then riding through unknown territory saddled with the worry of running out of gas. The gas warning light on the K75 is set to go off when I have hit 140 miles on the tank. This is a common complaint about the K75, as many riders think it goes off too soon. I usually gas up at the 170-mile point on the clock, thus leaving myself with another 50 miles or so if it was necessary.<br /><br />The K75 gets 50 mpg at a reasonable speed of 65mph. But Dick and I often ride much faster than that. Turnpike speeds around here routinely hit 75mph in the slow lane, and 85 is what I like to ride at on the slab. Gas consumption goes out the window at those speeds. <br /><br />So if the boys want to stop for gas and I only need two gallons to top off, I do it anyway. The K75 likes the highest octane available (94), which is generally offered only by Sunoco. But I will use premium from any oil company. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack • reep • ToadJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-40872495775307636402010-03-10T15:30:00.270-05:002010-03-10T15:30:00.270-05:00Dear CPA3485 (Jimbo):

In fact, I didn't know if I was going to post the blog even adfter I had written it. Most of it read like shit to me, but I had nothing else to put in its place. <br /><br />But I never do anything by committee and I thought, "What do I have to lose. Somebody will step forward and tell me my stuff looks like shit, if they think so."<br /><br />Bob Skoot has achieved "Superstar Status" on this blog without yet having had the pleasure of being tortured by me on a ride. For example, look at Dick Bregstein. He has had to ride thousands of miles with me to get SuperStar Status in my stories.<br /><br />But no douche was ever cited in any of my stories.<br /><br />I understand the rain is falling in your neighborhood. Good biking weather should follow. When is yiour next club ride?<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack • reep • ToadJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-68280051121015446832010-03-10T13:21:46.364-05:002010-03-10T13:21:46.364-05:00Screw Bob Skoot

A bone fide two-wheeled douche is the kind of person who does not fill their gas tank at the same time everyone else does, insisting at stopping 20 minutes later at another station that is 3¢ per gallon cheaper. <br /><br />That's a douche. <br /><br />Or, a real douche is a 52-year-old friend who insists that your 25-year-old daughter ride on the back of his piss yellow motorcycle, trimmed with duct tape, allowing hin to create the impression she is his girlfriend.<br /><br />Glad you liked the pictures.
