We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Lozzo" <lozzo RemoveThis @lozzo.org.uk> saying something like: >I was going to say, I wouldn't put barracudas on the Turbo, it would >rip them to shreds. Something like a CX500 or your Guzzi would be fine >with them on. What did Kenda morph into? Is it them that are now Maxxis? -- Dave GS850x2 XS650 SE6a "A scone and tea at half past three Makes the day a little brighter Keep your cakes and fancy tarts And stick them up your shiter." >> Stay informed about: Maxxis/Cheng Shin Tyres
