Enough of all that soft shit. I think of you riding with all that travel that they have now. You would be like driving Bigfoot that monster truck around the track. It would just be a sunday drive. Shit i dont think you would know what do going faster than hell and not having to muscle the bike all over the place. LOL

I never forget the first time I saw Dick Mann throwing that BSA in open expert at E street. I was12, shit he was old then. He had to stand up at least. Then when i saw you and your sit down riding stlye. I couldnt believe it. I love it when you werent in the lead and just charging to get in the lead. It look like you were just sitting down in chair and were so mad and the bike couldnt go any faster and you were about ready to snap the bars in half. I hate to see how mad you would have to get to make you stand up. I hope you know these are complainments. You and Magoo charged like you were nuts and then you got Coupe charging so smoothly. He look like wasnt even breaking a sweat, honestly I can remember seeing Dave every looking like he was mad. Nothing like the old days.

Click on your screen name and there should be a personal message there that I sent to you. Either that or it may have been sent to you in an e-mail. I think that's how it works.
