BTW,

you can get the amber bulbs, a little bit of silver spray paint, and just dust the glass a little. I did it on my car turn signals. It's worked for >45k miles.

If you do the CycleRob mod, and the top latch breaks, would the case pivot down and potentially rub against the wheel, or bang the exhaust?

I'm going to the one in Denver tomorrow... Curious as to what to expect?

This is the real deal!

If Dallara slams Pat enough that Pat doesn't come back, can the "Patrick's Playhouse" forum be renamed the "Dallara's Den" forum?

Just curious...

We'll see!

(waiting for mr. noonan...)

how long will it be until Dallara doesn't actually use words anymore... he just posts a bunch of smilies (sp?) and calls it good?



just playing!
