You made my week, Robert.
You're going to feel a lot of pride when you restore your trusty steed to
active duty again. She's been waiting patiently for this day. Soon she'll
be carrying you safely, silently and speedily, to there and back again, only
asking for some oil, or a few turns of a wrench every once in a while. Your
bike offers you an ever-changing panoramic view of the world, and keeps you
healthy and fit at the same time. How could any friend do more, or ask for
less?
That's why we're all sitting here around the flickering light of the global
campfire, swapping stories. We want to inspire each other.
Miles of Smiles,
Barry
