Received this one today from a list I subscribed.
Strange country y´all live in though..:
Dear fellow motorcyle enthusiast
As I'm sure you are aware they're a great many people who are not all that kind to the motorcycle population so this is just a friendly reminder to be courteous to all particularly the Hotel, Motel owners.
Many frown upon us bikers because of just one thing... some of us wash our bikes with the hotel towels making them stained beyond the ability to launder clean for reuse.
If you need to wash your bike as I know I will Please go to the desk clerk and say
"Hello I need to wash my bike and I was wondering if you have a bucket and some rags I could use."
Believe me they will go out of their way to accommodate you and they will also be impressed that you had the courtesy to ask.
I Bring my own rags.
WE Riders need to do what ever we can to promote motorcycling and dispel the negative connotations that surround us and our passion.
See you on SR 66 BikerJerry
