Title: I'm about to read a book..
Post by: pertt-UP- on July 27, 2011, 06:09:16 AM
I went to the grocery store after work with my GS today. I sweat in my riding gear hurrying to get home soon but then I noticed something interesting. There were a book on sale (-70%) with GS500E on the cover. I haven't read a book in many years and I think never bought one, but this one has a GS on the cover! So with 5,99€ I am now owner of a crime novel.

P.S. I read the first chapter and the bike in the story is really a 600cc Yamaha enduro bike...

See nothing good ever comes out of "reading". Once the magic of television has been invented, reading was rendered obsolete.
Though buddha gonna build a GS with an xs650 rephased motor.
Cool.

This is a crime novel about a motorcycle riding criminal on a budget?  Do I understand correctly?  If so, I gotta read this!

Yep, it's a crime novel about a motorcyclist that shoots a man into his convertible Mercedes-Benz..
The writer, Jarkko Sipilä, is Finnish and I think there is unfortunately no English translation about the book (at least yet)..

Back in the mid 80s when I had my Yamaha V-Max ( a V-4 1200cc tire shredding quarter mile rocket sled ) I happened across a "BlockBuster" movie that had guy riding around town on a V-Max assassinating people, and if that wasn't interesting enough, at the end the guy crashes, dies, and turns out to be a raven haired beauty----that came to light when the cop removed the full faced helmet with the extra dark shield. I was so thrilled at the find, I went out and paid $20 for the VHS tape.

I love reading it is my second favorite past time. Books are so much better than movies. Don't get to read as much leisure material as I would like due to school but I got a couple of weeks in between semesters. I would love to read Mark Twain's book that he said was not to be released until 100 years after his death. I bought it for my friend in Boston for Christmas it was back ordered six weeks!

I think my last book was on the life of Christ interesting but I need something leisure. Maybe some Koontz or oh I know Dan Brown's "Lost Symbol".

BTW what happened to Italiacs and Bold options? How are we supposed to appropriately write the title of a book? Oh no my English Syntax is driving me nuts ATM!
