SCJJR65 Made the Owners News
« on: June 03, 2010, 07:36:23 AM »
My BMW MOA Owners News came in the mail yesterday.  Whilst perusing it's many delights I came across a photo of some guy standing in front of the Siegfried & Roy statue in Las Vegas.  Hmmm, I know that guy, then I read the caption.  Turns out it's our very own John from South Carolina.  Great photo, John!  If you get the magazine check it out.  John, will you autograph my copy? ;)

Mike, are you kidding me?   They actually put that pic in the magazine??  I kind of did it as a joke, and thought it would be way too cheesy for a classy rag like the Owner's News!  

Hmmmmm..... apparently not!   ;D

I saw it too John!   ;)  A very good picture.  

I guess they didn't get many pictures of people and their bikes in Las Vegas.  But you got your claim to fame for this month!   ;D

 [smiley=thumbsup.gif]  Nice picture!  Cool, dude!   8-)

I can't find a snicker-behind-your-back smiley, so I guess you're safe.   ;)

It probably is John.  Should have known someone would come up with something.   ;D
