But they continue to pile up as I can't make it through my backlog. <br /><br />I've finally caught up and have enjoyed them all. I think there is something to be said for both yours and cretin's style. Just don't switch between them every 5 minutes. ;)<br /><br />Nice salute by "the Cadre", but are you sure that isn't just the way they are saluting you? I would recommend watching them around other highly esteemed individuals and determine if they are greeted in the same fashion. It might just be they reserve that high a form of flattery to you.<br /><br />Great story-telling. Keep up the fun reads.<br /><br />Hope the ride yesterday was perfect. I know the weather sure was. Couldn't be beat!

Lots of folks had conflicts with either the date or the time of day. <br /><br />Considering this is my swan song for living in Pa for 2011, I do not regard it as a high point. But I can assure you, my return ride (and Victory run) will be something. <br /><br />Keep smiling, Wayne.<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/reepJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-82143505899439703382011-10-14T23:11:13.261-04:002011-10-14T23:11:13.261-04:00Dear Steve Williams:
The truth is that in my yout...Dear Steve Williams:<br /><br />The truth is that in my youth I rode a motorcycle for high-speed thrills, to party, and to get laid. Quite frankly, I'd be delighted if I could hit that agenda again tomorrow. <br /><br />And I ride still, albeit not as I did, because I like to remember myself as I was. If I had to do it all over again, I might have held onto some of those women a bit longer. To quote Claude Rains in Casablanca, "The time may come when good-looking women are in short supply." <br /><br />I daresay I could show Jane Goodall a few things. <br /><br />Please don't give tomorrow another thought. I am looking forward to the mayhem of the diner and the laughs at the dealers. It will be a pisser. <br /><br />I can't imagine getting up in darkness, to ride through the fog, on a scooter, in deer infested territory, to eat scrapple and eggs in grease. <br /><br />Don't be silly. I'll be riding out your way soon enough. <br /><br />And I know that my stories leave you fascinated. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/reepJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-45077715856695375702011-10-14T21:10:33.432-04:002011-10-14T21:10:33.432-04:00Sugar scoop.

Visiting Twisted Roads has transformed me over time from a regular Vespa rider into a motorcycle anthropologist. Unlike others who write "just the facts" or pose as riders they can only dream of, you pull aside the curtain to reveal the truth of what it means to be a motorcyclist.<br /><br />I dream of one day making audio recordings of the grunts and line of shit as well as video recordings of the battered baby seal look. Sitting here typing I imagine myself a sort of 21st century Jane Goodall.<br /><br />I have to admit I was a bit startled by the farewell ride announcement at the end. That's tomorrow morning. And a long ride on a rainy day. <br /><br />Shit.<br /><br />Steve Williams<br /><a href="http://vespalx150.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Scooter in the Sticks</a><br /><a href="http://twitter.com/ScooterNSticks" rel="nofollow">Follow me on Twitter</a>Steve Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540977884513559091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-43244000625157897182011-10-14T15:05:20.177-04:002011-10-14T15:05:20.177-04:00CaI was amazed to read a fresh instalment of your ...CaI was amazed to read a fresh instalment of your episodic exciting motorcycle life.

I occasionally rode around on a Honda Aero Shadow, which is a cruiser designed to somewhat look and sound like an HD model. (This was after riding my BMW K75 for a season.) <br /><br />I stopped at traffic light, and my vision blurred. I thought I was having a stroke. My vision cleared with the application of a little throttle. The problem reoccurred at the next light. <br /><br />"So that's what vibration feels like on a motorcycle," I thought. <br /><br />Women BMW riders merely have to be content with men who are hung like a moose. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/reepJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-9268777725729452592011-10-11T09:21:21.459-04:002011-10-11T09:21:21.459-04:00Dear Nikos:

The bike was this interesting deep green, and the helmets seemed kinda cool to someone who hadn't gotten the real "cool" memo. <br /><br />I wonder about an audio book, and I wonder how hard it would be to produce one.

I saw death threats every 30 feet, as cars came at me like meteorites. <br /><br />Regarding the book poll, I am surprised at how strongly the biker crowd is coming out in support of the paperback. I actually like holding a book in my hand... Take the cigar book for example... I feel like I accomplished something. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/reepJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-22096251984299363312011-10-11T09:08:58.458-04:002011-10-11T09:08:58.458-04:00Dear Rhonda:

They said "douche" on them in neon. <br /><br />The green Kawasaki did not last. In the middle of it's second year, it got creamed by an old son of bitch sliding through an intersection. I replaced it with a red model. <br /><br />That's how stupid I was. I should have taken the insurance cash and bought a Z900. And believe it or not, that bike wasn't even offered in black. <br /><br />Thank you for reading Twisted Roads, the moto blog that elevates skirt chasing and cutting up rough to an art form. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/reepJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-45091424221049474502011-10-11T09:01:48.573-04:002011-10-11T09:01:48.573-04:00Dear Flimsky:

My friend Cretin pointed out to me that this vendor had a city painted "yellow line" around the place his cart stood... And that if you wanted "girls" for an occasion, he was the guy to talk to. <br /><br />Bruce, believe me, no guy has ever seen the "battered baby seal" look. But a few women we know, since they went to St. Al's, St. Doms, or Holy Family Academy, have seen it in action. <br /><br />Thanks for ready my tripe, and for commenting.

I believe the reason they put such a small tank on the Sportster is to remind the rider that he needs to stop and "finish" with his passenger, else the vibration of the bike earns the win, so to speak. BTW, the vibration feature comes standard on all Harley models and has never failed me.RoadTriphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03966107749652726082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-22948432359010577962011-10-10T15:54:53.722-04:002011-10-10T15:54:53.722-04:00Dear Conchscooter:

First, if you read the story carefully, you'll note the line where I say, "The motorcycle may simply be channeling existing characteristics." In your case, that may be a lot to ask of the Bonneville. And secondly, the narative assumes you want to impress someone. By your own admission, you'd just as soon poke someone in the eye with a stick as much as say "What ho, Reptile?" <br /><br />As I have said before, however, the Bonneville is a very cool motorcycle.<br /><br />Thank you for reading Twisted Roads and for boosting our Wikio ratings to #4 this month. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/reepJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.com
