chelle Duff's courage and initiative. One letter writer, incensed, wrote to the publisher, and asked him to fire Cooper. The editorial in question was one of the most insensitive, cruel, heartless, thoughdess, uninformed 'gutter-type' of journalism that has been my unfortunate and sad experience to read. There was no reason for even mentioning Duff's transition, the writer said. There is no place in Canadian motorcycling for such horrendous trash. He also suggested that Duff's wife should sue...

a story in itself. As it turned out, the Alaska Highway was a doddle, not anywhere near as challenging as the local roads, but the Alaska Highway is the only paved road up there, and there are some scary roads up there that were no fun on the FJ. On a trip from Edmonton to New Orleans he got sick of paved roads and their traffic. I thought, this is silly. The only place I'm not surrounded by trucks is on gravel roads. When I got back from that trip, the F had a For Sale sign on it. His next...

But despite those successes and his superbike titles for Yamaha in...

When I have a microphone in my hand I say all kinds of strange things. I think I also confessed to sniffing permanent magic markers and the pages of freshly printed magazines. As I sat talking to Cycle Canada contributor Tim Poupore at the Toronto Motorcycle Show, I became suspicious of a man circling us. His posture was erect but his head dipped, like he was straining to hear our conversation. He was on the high end of middle age and wore a heavy jacket. I stopped talking to Tim and addressed...
