I was only half way through...

...reading the first sentence of the letter "Hope is alive" in this month's BMW ON that I knew instinctively that Chris G. had written it. It was that quick.

Sure enough, I turned to page 22, and it was by Chris.

Way to stay on message Chris!

November?

Hmm... I got November "backpacker" November "Outdoor Photographer"
November "JeeP.... but the newest ON I have is OCT. I guess since your last name is in the front of the alphabet you get yours sooner....

Lucky you.

Some things never change... some do!

Tonight I am proud to be a witness of history, a witness that Americans are open minded, hopeful, willing to accept change in many ways and a witness to the fact that there is still hope, after all...

Even for Chris

If I was a US Citizen, I would be proud to be one now!

How many times has he written that same letter? He can expect that true Sport Touring successor to the R11S about the same time Aprilia comes out with one worthy of replacing the Futura. In other words, don't hold your breath.

Chris sends that same exact letter to BMW ON every single month; they only print it if they need some page filler.

that letter also recently appeared in an issue of the Amish Electricians Quarterly.
don't remember which issue date it was, but it's the one with the centerfold of that chick holding the 440 watt pulse inverter, sunning herself in front of that transmission line tower.

if it's not at B&N, i wouldn't worry too much.
i'm sure it's probably in every doctor/dentist office in the country.

but if you're desperate, surely they have an on-line digital version of AEQ these days.

i know, i know, it's not the same as locking the door behind you, but i guess you could always print it out....
