Thank you ...Jack you are such a confidence booster! Thank you for your kind words. I'll keep trying to step up to that plate. I loved your review and wished I could have written something half as fun and well-crafted! Seriously! <BR/><BR/>Of course you can direct your buddies here. I hope they can find some kernel of useful info.<BR/><BR/>I definitely think you're right about a joint trip-- I agree we'd cook up some different things to write about--that's the beauty of diversity--we have different lenses through which we see the world--boy wouldn't that be fun, though?!.Sojourner's Moto Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235661849993752840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-53322054293161729802008-08-03T02:29:00.000-05:002008-08-03T02:29:00.000-05:00Well, I just learned that I don't have Fox Reality...Well, I just learned that I don't have Fox Reality!! Bummer. Oh well, I'm placing my order for the DVDs. The first journey dvd had two versions, a European and one for the US market. The US market dvd was shorter than the European, which is the one I have. I'm looking forward to the entire production. Didn't you love that scene of being joined by all the motorcycles near the end?!Sojourner's Moto Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235661849993752840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-67397824031915577782008-08-02T06:42:00.000-05:002008-08-02T06:42:00.000-05:00Dear Sharon:It is always refreshing to read someth...Dear Sharon:<BR/><BR/>It is always refreshing to read something that you've written. You put such verve and panache into your words. Your literary philosophy -- as it touches me -- seems to say, "Anything worth writing about should be the truth... It should mean something... And it should elevate and motivate the reader." <BR/><BR/>As you are aware, these three ambitions defeat me from the instant I touch the keyboard. <BR/><BR/>You and I both wrote reviews of the movie "The Long Way Down." You touched on the very human elements of this flick, its social implications, and potential political messages -- while relating the all to a motorcycle cultural context. <BR/><BR/>You were kind enough not to point out that I missed all this in my own summary of the movie. I think it would be fun to take a three-day ride with you, encompassing scenery, history, and a cultural event -- just so we could compare ride reports. Readers would think we were on two different trips. <BR/><BR/>I liked how you gave the gentle reader the option of skipping the political rant. I never give my readers that option. They have to go where I take them. <BR/><BR/>Would you mind if I steered some of my BMW riding buddies to your review? I'd like them to read your perspective.<BR/><BR/>Well, its 7:30am. There's the making of a thunderstorm outside, and I'm riding to meet some guys at a diner about an hour away. <BR/><BR/>My knees are killing me to stand on them today. This should be good.<BR/><BR/>Fondest regards,<BR/>Jack<BR/>http://jackriepe.blogspot.com/Jack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-22199766660535409482008-08-01T14:04:00.000-05:002008-08-01T14:04:00.000-05:00I caught the movie with my group of fellow riders ...I caught the movie with my group of fellow riders and our wives. It was a great movie and well received by all. I'm really looking forward to the full series--a series of one-hour programs on Fox Reality TV starting this Saturday, 10 p.m. ET, and running for 10 weeks. The full programs should have all the details that were left on the cutting room floor of the "director's cut."<BR/><BR/>BrentD.
