Riding with Bregstein is like being out with the word "okay." <br /><br />Should we ride to Maryland today?<br /><br />"Okay."<br /><br />Should we stop for lunch, even though it is only 10:30am?<br /><br />"Okay." <br /><br />Should we ride out toward State College and terrorize the scooter crowd?<br /><br />"Okay." <br /><br />Everybody should have a sidekick like Bregstein. But Dick is not at all like Gabby Hayes. Bregstein is more like Henry Fonda in the role of "Harley," where he was Jimmy Stewart's sidekick in the "Cheyenne Social Club."<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jsck • reep • ToadJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-85949983631784033842011-04-12T14:21:33.808-04:002011-04-12T14:21:33.808-04:00Dear Ihor:
