    It amazes me how carless drivers are.

    Hi beam with hid helps a lot. If the other drivers bad or good see a real bright light coming towards them they seem to pay more attention. My experience anyway.....

    Any NASCAR fans??

    Might not seem too exciting to go in circles for hours, but until you have been behind the wheel for at least a dozen laps. You need not comment here. 200 plus mph is not for the average Joe.

    Anyone have their leather pants altered?

    Hello I have short legs too and have a hard time finding the right leg length. Not sure if your interested or not but I did my own, used a product called speed sew. Worked great for me, no use for tread or needle. It is a silicone based glue works great on leather.

    Snowmobiles or Motorcycles?...

    Groomed trails around here are smoother than the black top. Week days if you get the opportunity are free of other traffic. Trails are marked better than the highways in some places, and the 4 strokes are the way to go. I have more than one bike and love them, but the best thing about sledding...

    BT016 price?

    Does that mean they won't sell you the tires unless you get them mounted up there too? I haven't heard anything good about adventure, everyone I know bought anything there won't go back.
