Indian Ambassador

 Get the email and I'm thinking .. hell ya .. what the hell .. I'm in!   A shoe in, right?   I saw where somebody whom is one attended an event up North ...  I'd done a quick profile look up and was sort of snickering.... I mean, they rode a completely diff' brand up until a year prior to becoming... 'ambassador'! .. so ... I of course thought it was funny .. still .. I sort of get it...    BUT.. had corporate known the person was attending, guessing they might have had a problem with it?  js 

Anyways...   I click on Apply Now.. and ready to start filling it all in .. but.. we've got a small problem .. haha.

Well, Sure.  Sounds like me.  Funny part is the above is really generic.  Doesn't really hold one's feet to the fire..

Passionate?  Sure thing.  The Respect part.  Of course... accept I've broken these rules a few times and I've seen some native riders that .. well.. I don't have respect for.  Whoops.   And.. the last one.  Sorry.  Nothing like a cold beer sometimes when out n' about.  I'm not talking abuse here.. but.... I love my cervezas...

Okay .. what am I giving up?  The title?  Give me a break. I'm one of the best they have pushing the brand today.  Maybe I'll start calling myself THE AMBASSADOR!  Or... not.  Special Price on a new bike?  Yeah... I'm in sales. I can already read between the lines on this one.  No.  Special pricing on stuff?  Like what .. 10%? 20% off?  Give me 'at cost' and we'll talk.  Exclusive Info?  Yawn.  Swag to shag?   What... keychains?  No thanks
