I'd go again in a heartbeat.<BR/><BR/>Fondest regards,<BR/>JackJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-62880116661565323822008-05-11T19:48:00.000-04:002008-05-11T19:48:00.000-04:00Excellent write up!

I was compelled to remove this paragraph as it had little moto content and proved distracting to some readers.<BR/><BR/>You are the subject of the next chapter.

And it fed a growing desire to ride farther and to newer places on a motorcycle. <BR/><BR/>It also gave me a deep sense of appreciation for the BMW K7, which now that I have a second one, I have really come to love.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for dropping by, Art.<BR/><BR/>JackJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-35518119122233963492008-05-09T11:02:00.000-04:002008-05-09T11:02:00.000-04:00"Yet a strange tempering process had begun.
