The Reply from Peter Egan
Hey Everyone:
I just got off the phone with Peter Egan. (Yes, he IS as nice a guy as you would imagine.)
He said he frequently has to travel for Road & Track and Cycle World during the summer months. (That old "contract" thing...) He could not commit to attending the national BMW rally at this time.
He added that if he is home during this time period, he would greatly enjoy coming to the rally.
Rest Assured, if he does come to the rally and is willing to do a seminar, we'll make the magic happen.

Peter Egan is the most prolific writer in the world when it comes to the topic of "new bike justification"...the pursuit of the perfect bike selection within one's garage is the only pursuit worthwhile...this guy speaks my language...I'd almost be afraid to meet him...I'd hate to be disappointed...what if he's got one of those weak, dead fish handshakes...I hate that

He is a very nice man with whom to talk, and he has a firm, not overpowering handshake. At least he did in Chicago two years ago.

His column in this month's Cycle World is another keeper. He writes about getting his pilot's license re - instated, then goes on to compare the experience of flying to that of riding, and then segues into how participation in higher risk activities affects his interaction with other people who do not participate. Brilliant.
I've always thought of flying as being a cerebral activity and of riding as a visceral one, and he just nails that aspect of it.
If he does decide to attend, I may be forced to do a 2 and a half day pound over flat prairies to be able to meet him.

I might have to accompany you on that run.

Could we (Someone in the office or the Board) contact Cycle World about coming and doing a piece on the 2007 Rally? It has a motorcycle historical value. It would be a way for MOA to have a piece show in a mainline magazine that could attract interest in our organization. And they could send Egan to cover it.

Good thinking. Kind of like a few years ago when Corbin's Ride On did a show about the Spokane Rally.

I am not certain which one of us should be more afraid.

Thanks Sue!
After reading one of Peter Egan's columns I want to get out and take a long ride. He and Kevin Cameron are the main reasons I'll buy a copy of CW.
When Peter Egan says "has to travel for Road & Track and Cycle World" I know that means he gets to ride great bikes and drive great cars, ahhh what a wonderful "contract" that's gotta be
