Well hell, a lot of people are lesser riders than those guys. And
as for me, you're at least as fast as I am. And hey, we had the two
worst bikes there! <g>
The finger shows almost no sign of ever having been injured. The
knuckle's just slightly larger than before (calcium build-up no
doubt), but otherwise it looks fine and works great.

Rental? That might actually be fun at Devil's... For any other
purpose, it blows.
Disclaimer: It's a good vintage MX track.

Number ending 7931? Sounds like a plan. Looks like this will be a Tuesday
am-Thursday late afternoon week, so maybe Wed night? I'll give you a shout
on the cell.
