One of the best ride reports ever.  His writing style really makes it funny in places.  I'd love to take my son on a ride like that.

I stopped reading when he said he has 1 week away every 2 years. Too depressing to go any further. But I'm sure its a great story.

Well....I suppose I can read it a page at a time and eventually get through it.  He does have a good writing style....except these are kind of annoying....... “"><st1:City w:st="on">Joliet</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">Illinois</st1:State></st"......whatever they were for doesn't work anymore.

That has got to be one of the worst looking motorcycles I have ever seen. Undecided

He apparantly wrote it in Microsoft Word.  This is some kind of crap that word does when using its style sheets and saving in HTML. He'd have been much better off to save as text and let the board handle the text presentation.

The are a couple places where you see all those symbols and something in there about microsoft word and style sheet xxxxxx.css. That's what lets you know it was done in Word and saved as a web page.
