Laundry Audit Checklist

FAAKER SEE HARLEY DAVIDSON HD 2006





Come ogni anno, con il mese di Settembre, ci si organizza e si va in Carinzia sul Lago Faaker ( Faaker See per l'appunto) e si contano le migliaia di Harley Davidson venute da tutta l'Europa.
Quest'anno ho visto molti Chapter venuti anche da posti veramente lontani e, a parte una targa canadese, ho potuto contare la Spagna, la Francia,l'Italia naturalmente, Germany, Belgium, Slovenia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Switzerland, the various local chapters that is' Austria, some Poles, Finns and Norwegians as well as a host of English encountered near Velden.

In 2006 I chose this' last resort 'for several nights and I must say, I found myself better than previous years although it is not' fair to say it that way.
The past years have all been wonderful, each with a beautiful memory of a party that has its romantic side dishes, food and music, though at the same time there is' a common denominator that Harley and Harley ......

Velden and 'more' refined, with excellent local hotels and really beautiful excellent people, friendly as well as' very-very helpful!
The days were beautiful, warm sunny september day, clean air, a lake, the Wörthersee colors of turquoise / blue / blue ......
Something that can not be 'let alone capture descivere and even in a simple photograph .....

I hope that more and more 'possan people visit these places, even without the Harley Davidson ..... although, as I always say ...... you have to try ..... A salute to Chapter
Milan to Monza and in particular, as well as a special thank you to HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTORBIKE KLEMENČIČ, ANNEMARIE of GASTHAUS who hosted us and to all those whom I had the good fortune to meet.

Very Dry But 11 Days Late




...... the bike, a Harley Davidson and cromatissima 'stops by the roadside, separated from the sea and a long wide sandy beach. You park your Harley Davidson Low Rider black and dusty, and throw the eye towards the sea and the beach, the monumental buildings in the distance, the coast road. Although it 'normal, you make a certain impression that a place in the summer and' flooded to capacity with people, in the fall will turn into a Ghost Town. And more
'impression does this Heritage Softail Deluxe rose without a master ...... Compare
the perfect polish Heritage of LR with your black dusty, muddy, scraped at some point, with the pots a bit 'rusty .....
Walk towards the sea. Your boots sink into the sand, soft and warm and this' almost pleasant sensation.
The wind ruffles his hair long and wet air and fine droplets of salt.

- It 's your ???-- the Black Rider asks a female voice behind you. You turn around and in front of you is' a girl: blonde hair, dark eyes, Levis members and vest Harley orange / black, fabulous body.
- Yes - you say .... planted in the sand, his hands hidden in the pockets of his jeans.
you do not consider you more 'and throws a glance towards the road to the Low Rider Black Heritage Rose and shiny.
- so do not take 'a Harley Davidson !!!!-- says without looking at him.

Stay a while disqualified and a sigh - A no ????--.
- NO - insists her peremptory, and in saying this will extract a large nickel-plated automatic pistol and you tip the temple.
Feel the cold barrel on your skin and you think that is exaggerated as a reaction on the part of a 'lover of order and clean.
you move the gun from your temple and fired a shot at an empty beer can left on the sand.

you calm down a moment, looking half smile left from her mouth ..... just a moment to hear another shot and an acute chest pain.

Emu'sboots Cleaning Kit

BARCELONA - ESPANA


walks among the people, the tables, who play the violin, the dogs on a leash, prostitutes, pimps with a sense of complete lack of balance. I stand 'cause the people around me will not let me fall. I sit in the more 'Real big terrace of the square. The waiter approaches without smiling. The shot of a beautiful smile drunk and ordered a tequila. The waiter goes away 'in his sad silence. Back to Tequila, lemon and salt. Lay everything on the table and wait for the pay. But I drink tequila in one gulp and ordered another one. As soon as he walks away, I get up, take it and I'm leaving. I never put up with dumb waiters, sad, nasty, rude.
I find more and more 'hard to maintain balance. I do not remember 'cause I'm in Barcelona. Do not even remember 'cause I drank so much. Back on Las Ramblas and restart the pilgrimage of the bar. Pero 'now look more' people and drink less. I try to tire me as much 'as possible to go to bed quietly without the risk of not sleeping and start thinking in solitude. In
Placa de Catalunya there 'a room with a multitude of Harley Davidson parked in front. Are in order, one after another and the first pulse and 'to give a kick to the first and drop them all. But then known this chopper with long keys nell'accensione. Sigh looking around, I get on the bike course, I turn on the grafting, the MRP and childbirth without looking back.
makes a deafening roar as it runs down Las Ramblas towards the port. People have time to look at me, or rather to look at the bike: black, chrome, beautiful.
I head out to sea and I leave the city 'in the back. Travel for an hour at low speed 'in a deserted area and carried to the beach to stop a few meters from the sea. When I turn off the bike becomes palpable silence, broken only by the slow lapping of the waves.
I turn off the lighthouse and the darkness becomes total for a few seconds, the time 'cause my eyes get used to the new situation. I open one of the small pockets of black leather with fringe and I find a small bottle of Jack Daniel's. I take off my boots, socks and booms I dip my feet in the water, sipping bourbon a bit 'hot.
The bottle of Jack Daniel's and 'almost finished when I hear a rumble in the distance, a sort of thunder continued.

Soon the roar turns into a swarm of indistinct round headlights. Harley Davidson has ten, but I'm drunk and could be more 'as less. We all go out together, but with the lights on on me. I'm sitting on the sand, the sea behind and in front of Harley Davidson. Downward
three, come closer, I observed a moment, whispering among themselves. Then I take two of weight one for the arms and legs to the other, and throw me into the water. The sea and 'almost warm. I drink a hearty drink, cough: I do not know whether to stay soaked, relatively safe, or go to the beach where the lights are a disturbing presence. But the problem resolves itself when all the bikes and come on, one by one, they go away leaving the beach in the dark.
'm almost disappointed, all I could think of except they left so ', without reprisal.
back to shore and immediately I enter the cold in the bones. I take off my wet clothes, but naked, is even more 'cool. Bnene squeeze jeans and put them on me, recovery socks, boots, the leather jacket I'm wearing no shirt, and walked towards the main road. I hitchhiked, but at this machine I spend very little and has no intention of stopping.
After an hour's walk to Barcelona I find myself to lift a finger towards a group of Harley Davidson to the beach. Pass in single file, watching carefully, but they stop every hundred yards' ahead. Two were from the group reach me. I do not know if you run or what, but I'm too tired to even think of escape. The long and
chopper 'was mine for a few hours I will stop in front, followed by a green apple Fat Boy. The type of chopper beckons me to climb. I hesitated, but then I go nodding without really knowing why '.
, Let us meet and exceed the other bikes that share right behind us. Type of Fat Boy approaches and hands me a flask of shiny metal. I smile and drink a sip of strong liquor, with a hint of smoke: Mexican Mezcal, the best 'good. Pass the flask to the owner of the chopper. He drinks and then passes it to the guy that has 883 'materialized on my right. He also drinks and passes the whole skin of Heritage, and so 'street in a rite of alcohol suit socialization. We travel in formation as if we were ready for a mission impossible: we are an impressive sight, beautiful.
Barcelona 'Paral Lel asleep when we cross the desert, almost unreal. We stop in Placa de Catalunya, in front of the room where I stole the bike.
go down, I want to give an explanation for my behavior, but the owner of the chopper and smiles at me, nodding towards the Ramblas part followed by the whole group. Roberto Saporito

Time For Texas Muffins

11 September 2006: New York


..... ...... what about this day that began with the sun and breezy with a September that is about to .... feel ready to go to work, shaving and showering in the morning, drink a coffee 'calmly reading the newspaper, enjoy the first rays of sun that your skin bacian ..... a slight shiver of cold / hot ...... turn on the server and see the e-mails .....

Never to forget what 'the world (unarmed) could follow, he could have cried, could not understand during that long week of September ......
That terrible tragedy.
Something that even in the scripts of Hollywood movies could be written .... for the exaggeration, the rush, the inability 'to believe that something like this could be the result of the mind (sick) of a human being .....
So many things change in five years .... but some memories are indelible, like tears, do not end up in the archives ..... and live together with our existence, making us that bitter taste in mouth the fruit of hatred and injustice.

Each of us, watching''The American Flag''could make a lot of thoughts on freedom'..... but definitely looking at the stars and stripes flag, we remember / remind 'unjustified victims of a world that, five years is not' changed.
Hatred exists.
There will be an 'if ever ...... in the eyes of our children are not inculcated with the values \u200b\u200bof justice and fairness', but also tolerance of cohabitation ......
is fighting for some ideal ........ It dies because without a
