I end up screening a ton of these letters, just to weed out the self-serving ones from riders looking to get their names in print, the suggestions from bare-chested congressmen, and the notes from women accompanied by photos of themselves in the shower. <br /><br />I just want unbiased moto-stuff, or questions from sincere riders looking for assistance.
