Since the tone has been set by proposing disloyal schisms, I won't feel so bad attacking some of the collective's elders. I'll reiterate my gratitude to the publishers, editors, listmeisters and organizers, but sometimes a man must take a stand. I'll get right to the point. I'm sure others noticed, but didn't mention for fear of making waves, the fine print on the paper we signed in Moab. $10 of every rally fee is going to the Al Gore campaign. I know support for him among participants was near unanimous; I personally feel impelled to vote for the man who invented Gore-Tex. Still, did Gino & Fred have to make the event at the Elk's Lodge a mini version of the Buddhist temple thing? Is our tax-exempt status threatened? Was it fair to involve the Canuck, Mexican and Chinese riders in U.S. politics? ...........Also I question Gino's decision to invite Sierra Club activists as observers. As far as I know none of them was a motorcycle rider. When I first heard that they were going to watch the White Rim ride with binoculars from the Island in the Sky I wasn't concerned, but a subsequent conversation changed my mind. A Sierra Club guy confronted me in front of Fred's shop. He said that he observed me ascend the Hog's Back and shortly after proceed to take a leak. He informed me he then took out his rifle with scope mounted with the intention of shooting off my unit. The rifle misfired thus saving my member. I know the jarring my bladder and kidneys took is a lame excuse. I also realize the desirability of hauling out your urine. I must admit I admire the man's passion, but don't you think his intended action was extreme? Did anyone else have a similar experience with these people? I'm not trying to cause trouble. Maybe there's a rational explanation for these events that I'm blind to. Bogdan

Gino, please give us a straight, honest and serious answer for our question: did any portion of our registration fee at Moab go towards a political campaign?

Please remove me from the list. I no longer have time to wade thru the jibberish to find the useful and interesting. I shall return when time is less important to me. Thanks for all the fun.
