Still Time to Vote

It has been fun reading all the various responses that my friends and family have been making concerning the purchase of a motorcycle. THERE IS STILL TIME TO CAST YOUR VOTE OR SHARE YOUR WISDOM. The range of these responses is wider than the Grand Canyon. Some chose to simply respond by e-mail rather that post their comments. My friend James from Church did both. He made a very thoughtful and encouraging suggestion and he sent an e-mail with a link to the BMW website suggesting the following motorcycle as an addition to the list.





Cool bike!!!


Now some of you have been very concerned that I have lost my marbles or must be going through a mid-life crisis. For example, cousin Alena whose posted comment suggested that a motorcycle is better known in the medical community as a "donorcycle" suggested a much more classic approach. Her e-mail suggested a link to a catalog page for the following classic.



Alena's suggestion obviously would get great gas mileage but the commute to Dallas would take a very, very long time.

The number one vote so far has been -- go Harley. In fact, my friend Ray Shannon who retired from Lake Arlington Baptist and is now pastoring a Church in Canada suggested that I regrow my hair long like in my undercover days. For most of you who know me now as the "bald one," let me assure you that there was a day when I actually had hair -- lots of it. Now, after you stop laughing look at the below picture taken from my undercover days in May 1985.



Yes, that is me.

My vote is most certainly that you try your darndest to look how you looked in '85. That's a brilliant look.

And other than that, my vote's for Ron Paul.

And other than that, I vote Harley. I mean, if you're gonna do it, do it right. (Though a Vespa would also be an adequate option).

Stud............I mean Stan. You look like that guy in front of me at the Zepplin concert that wouldn't sit down. Probably not, since I've never been to a Zepplin concert. Maybe I'm thinking you look like my old cell mate??????????????? I can't remember. I do know one thing, if a fight breaks out I want you on my side.
