I sincerely hope you are not slammed with the same thing I had, though variations of it seem to be going around. It was the most aggravating thing that there was no position in which I could get comfortable, except sitting upright in a chaor and leaning slightly forward. And this would be great, except I never felt like reading or typing. <br /><br />I deeply regret that you are now opposed to the "Dispatches From The Front Feature" and have recommended it be dropped. I will propose this in a Twisted Roads reader survey, and promise to follow the results, blaming you regardless of the outcome.<br /><br />I sincerely hope you feel better.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Jack • reep • Toad<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-61879242524986840182011-03-26T10:35:07.199-04:002011-03-26T10:35:07.199-04:00Dear David:

I was amazed to see how many of my boyhood friends are already gone. All of them were thin. One friend of mine was in perfect physical shape, with six-pack abs — on the outside. He never had cause to get an EKG, and died of a massive stroke, when he was 34. <br /><br />This is why it pays to live each second like they are metered out like gold — because they are. We are among the living because we ride.<br /><br />Thanks for reading my tripe and for writing in. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack • reep • ToadJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-88569710752069094502011-03-26T10:28:23.773-04:002011-03-26T10:28:23.773-04:00Dear Charlie6:

Mike Cantwell is even going so far as to suggest this feature be dropped, and I am thinking about pitching the idea in a reader survey.<br /><br />The guy in Key West seems to be down for the count with the flu, or something. <br /><br />Thanksa for reading and for writing in. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack • reep • ToadJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-5856810651591850542011-03-26T10:03:41.079-04:002011-03-26T10:03:41.079-04:00Dear Dick:

I believe they eat any dead and decaying tissue while promoting natural and healthy tissue growth. This might work on your third testicle problem, as I'm certain that that is just dead calloused tissue you have generated from rubbing yourself on your beautiful K75. It might also help with the 'Dispatches From The Front' because gauging by the comments, it is just dead issue that needs to be removed and replaced with something more substantial. Perhaps a non-fiction piece regarding Lysol bathroom wipes.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />MichaelCantwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512417293017303810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-28492841526876423882011-03-25T14:29:55.400-04:002011-03-25T14:29:55.400-04:00Your story reminds me very little of a deceased fr...Your story reminds me very little of a deceased friend of mine Sam, he had one testicle yanked out due to testicular cancer and delighted correcting the plural to singular when anyone commented on his "balls".

I have been contacted by several of the folks savaged in this post, and we are forming a Riepe Rail-riding Moto Group. Tar will be imported from La Brea, The Colonel is providing free feathers for your rail ride, and we've hired a dozen side show strong men to carry the rail with you aboard.
