Subject: Re: Protocol problems at the 8th Hellenic enduro meeting...
Hi Phoebus,
You are right - but if we´ve got no other problems on this planet... I don´t
care.
German history tells a lot of real racism. Those problems beneath the bikers
sound a bit like storys I hear from my 6 year old daughter.
Does it realy matter, if ATs are welcome to this meeting? What they´ve done,
we call in Germany an "Armutszeugnis" (is anyone of the german ATICS able to
translate this?).
Let the sun go down, let her rise again and then forget about it.
And let´s see what will happen if someone of our list will buy a Tenere or a
GS, or ... ;-))
Let´s stick to tolerance! This is, how ATICS behave. I hope.
Arnd from Essen, where bikers from all over the world are welcome! Except
scooters ;-)
