Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.

If you need a clue ask the group to send you a letter to your private reply.

Two minutes. Word two was easy, and it opened the whole thing up.
And I’m not a whiz at these cryptograms.
I had the opportunity to ride a couple of 70’s era bikes. What complete pieces of sheit. And yet a 68 Norton I had the occasion to ride was a complete blast.

OTOH, Honda made some very reliable bikes back then. Rode a 1972 CB750 four cylinder from North Carolina to Maine and back without issue other than a dry chain.
