In an effort to attract more members to join our exclusive club, The President and President of Vice of the Ahalteke Club of Axxxxxxx sent this email to some prospective folks.....
Dear Ahalteke Club Members (Present and Future),
The President of the Ahalteke Club of Axxxxxxx (His Honourable Mr. Meor), and myself (President of Vice of the Ahalteke Club of Axxxxxxx) are willing to forgo our Saturday (9 August 2008) morning ride to accompany future club members Mr. Hafiz and Mr. Amin (yes, two of them, Mr. Hafiz and Mr. Amin, go ahead and count) to Tulkuchka Market to buy their horses. Last Saturday, future club members Mr. Hafiz, Mr. Shohrat and myself did a survey of the available steeds in Tulkuchka market (it was hot!!! 50 degrees C and no kidding!!!) and found two likely models, each costing 1.9 million and 2.0 million zolkas respectively. Both have front and rear suspensions and disc brakes (just like Mr. Zaki’s motorcycles). This Saturday, Mr. Shohrat will accompany us, to act as translator and negotiator. Any reduction in price, the President of the Ahalteke Club will have the right to claim 50% of the sum, the negotiator will have a right to the remaining 50% but both have decided to forgo this privilege. This time. Mr. Hafiz likes the 2.0 million zolkas model. He likes the handle especially. Mr. Amin has yet to see either but I have a feeling he will make a wise decision as well.
Future club members, if you want to start to ride immediately, then we (the President and President of Vice of the Ahalteke Club of Axxxxxxx) suggest that you get a local steed, ride for a few weeks, before deciding on whether to purchase imported horses. Of course, we (the President and President of Vice of the Ahalteke Club of Axxxxxxx) have vested interests – we want to rope in as many members as possible into our club. But having said that, we guarantee (to all spouses and the like) that we do not encourage unhealthy practices such as dangerous riding or drinking while riding. For your information, yesterday, Tuesday, 5 August 2008, your President and President of Vice of the Ahalteke Club of Axxxxxxx rode from Molanepes (from Bitarap for President of the Ahalteke Club of Axxxxxxx) to the new office and back, a total of 20 km, suffering two punctures. In the dark. And we don’t speak French. The people around us don’t speak Japanese. That does not really matter as no one speaks English and we don’t speak Ukrainian or Tatar. But luckily we brought along spare tubes. And pumps and allen keys and star allen keys and various spics and specs that we might or might not need.
Should future club members Mr. Hairri and Mr. Rizalman wish to trust our judgement and wants us to buy the horses on their behalf, we would be glad to do so, subject to an interest rate of 0% (zero percent) per day. Note that should we be successful in attracting more members, then we could act on attracting members of the opposite sex. Or opposite gender, that sounds better. Then we worry.
It would be great if we could have a ride Sunday morning, totaling more than 3 riders (our total number of members so far. The other one being Mr. Ramzi, President of Nice of the Ahalteke Club of Axxxxxxx). Trust me, after riding 30 km, breakfast at Sazada near Nissa Hotel would not taste any better. And the sleep that all of us will need after that could not be any sounder. Thank you.
Regards,
Hxxxx

Ride Lively, Live lovely, Love Lively
P.S.
Ahalteke is the name of the local breed of horse, reputedly the best in the world. It is said that the Arabs came to this part of the world and brought the camel and took back the horse that eventually became the Arabian. A fair trade you think?
