    Old motorcycle magizines for Iraq bound soldier

    MRA -

    A gentleman that I work with approached me about getting his son some magizines on motorcycles before he is shipped off to Iraq. He is going to be stationed at a remote base with nothing to do for hours at a time. It turns out JP, thats him, is in love with aprillias and bikes in general. If anyone has any old mags that they have memorized or dont want any more, can you PM me and I will come pick them up for him? He leaves in November and wont be back until thanksgiving so I am trying to get him as many as I can before he leaves. If you have any reading on Aprillias I'm sure he would love that even more. His plan is to buy one when he returns home so any v twin bike shoot outs would go along way too. Thanks for any help.

    Smitty is a Magazine "ADDICT", we have stacks and stacks that I trip over trying to put laundry away. With out opening pandoras box, have you considered a racing magazine drive for GI's? It would be a great way to recycle our old magazines and help the GI's pass their free time. I couldn't help but think those magazines may be a good tradable commidity when he gets over there. How many pounds could he take over? Like others we have Racer X, Sport Rider, RoadRacing World, plus some randum european bike mags. Do they have to be about Aprillia?

    e-mail me at susie at johnnylawwelding.com if you would like at these...

    If anyone has any to spare or get rid of please bring them to the general meeting tonight as we finally got an address for JP in Iraq. Thanks to all those who replied and pitched in, I think he will really appreciate our efforts.

    I've got a stack of Roadracing World from the last 2 years you can send with him.

    And he can have the warranty card that originally came with my Mille...
