We’ll look for you there, if you’re going.

I very much enjoy reading your bike test reports,but I am always pleased that you keep and enjoy the Scooter

I’ve traded my red 250 in for a new GTS 300 touring model with small screen and front and rear racks in a bronze colour, I’m 67 now and like the easy to get on, weather protection as well as the increased performance.

All the best from Scotland.

Bill Finlayson

Love the blog by the way, I’m a motoblogger myself. Drop me a line at andrew.collins@roadroving.com if you’d be interested in a link exchange.

Some dreams are best kept dreams.

I hesitate at the notion of you being an excellent riding partner. Not because of any shortcoming on your part, but because I don’t want to trample any serious relationship between you and Mr. Bregstein.

And then the whole confusing identification issues….”Jack Riepe, Steve Williams’s riding sidekick… Or vice versa.

If I had my way the rally wouldn’t be until December. More fun riding then. And fewer riders.

I think I am going to have trouble adapting to the actual event. So many people…

And I’ll try and remember to shoot a few pictures while I’m there.

Someday I need to compile a list of bad rides around here. A short list I suspect…
