Fred and I--the Hayabusa motorcyclists--agree whole-heartedly. Hope we didn't rumble too much on take-off the morning after camping. It was great to have an under-the-stars, by-the-lake chat with you both in Michigan a few days ago. Safe travels to you both, and hope to meet you on the road, or off, again! Take care- Angela Dave & Sarah:

I wish they wouldn’t. They are loud, big and dirty - and so are the bikes. I’m not sure if it’s meant to be an act of rebellion but there are so many of them and they are all uniformly bland that a real act of rebellion would be to ride up to them on a Vespa scooter with a French flag flying." A true patriot would have suggested riding up to them on a vintage steel bicycle waving some kind of freak flag. Perhaps your time abroad has inured you to the horror that is "Foreign Oil"? Yours truly, AKM Dear Dave the Grinch,
