Tough read, although I could sense his excitement. Like a kid in a candy store.

My good friend Dom,

Thank you so much for the time spent in your driveway this morning.  It was indeed a pleasure to have seen you once more before I move away.  I was also glad to see Anthony again!  He looks good.  A bit broken-hearted, but good!

Your support and kind-words throughout the many years have been invaluable.  You are truly a genius among motorcyclists, a passionate sumnapregnant dog and one helluva stand-up guy. 

Thank you for everything my good and trusted friend,
--Stuart

I read it just fine...   prolly cuz I've got family members named Rocco and Buster..   

Riding behind Stu through the twisties this morning, I had a front row seat to the awesomeness of that bike.  That thing sounds    Like it wants to eat small children!  Even over the sound of my own pipes and through earplugs...!

Stuart,

I want you to know that this bike is what I've always wanted. Simple and mean and beautiful. Now I know that this bike exists and that I am not the owner.

I hate you for that.

Hey Rock Store!

I thought you were great in "Remo Williams"!  And you were the definitive Gus Grissom!
