Title: Fred Rau's List: "you might be a motorcyclist if ..."
Post by: e024576 on November 13, 2018, 06:35:10 PM

Fred Rau was guest speaker at STAR 2007 Asheville - I think?


My favorite part of his presentation was "you might be a motorcyclist if ..." (like Foxworthy's "you might be a redneck if " list).


I would like to retrieve Fred's list by contacting Fred or maybe it's posted somewhere (google has not helped).


 :helpme:


Thanks

Wasn’t he the speaker in Lexington?  That was hilarious.  I’d like to get a copy too.

Not sure which year it was, but I was there. Could have 07 Asheville, or the more recent (2014?) Lexington.

I also recall reading some article like that in MCN. I think he mentioned he has done several of these lists over time.

I found this email address through his tour operator site   fred@fredrau.com

I didn't attend 2014 Lexington, so really can't say.  In any case I've emailed Fred to asking if the "you might be a motorcyclist if ..." list is available somewhere.

Fred is the best, been reading his works for years. It truly was a pleasure (except for the splitting sides) to have him at STAR.  TM
Tom's addition: You might be a true motorcyclists if you remember that Fred had done a "You're a motorcyclist" list.

No response yet from my Nov. 15 email to Fred Rau regarding access to his  "you might be a motorcyclist if ..." list.


So, since Ohio weather seems stuck in winter mode, I began creating my own list JFF.

Good ones, Paul!  The oil and tires comments are forever true.
