you seen my answer to a Pit bike.... Brad worries I am going to kill myself
on it.. something bout racing around with NO BRAKES.... Hey It's got Brakes

To me That first year at Bville.... well I was into the personal modes of
transportation the guys had.... lots of fun stuff out there... neat deal.. I
am thinking of up-grading to something like a Trail 90 from Honda....you
know something a fella could ride from the Motel to the Salt.... but still
pick up and put in the back of the truck....K
