    I should come up your way and we can both go R'n ! I'd love to go on the lake, how bitchen that would be!! I have the pro wedges on it now too!

    I have honestly only rode it 10 minutes and that's it. I have not checked it over real good yet and it does not get the Huffa stamp of approval to ride till I do. I'd like to put on new pads, check the reeds and gear it down some. Will that lake be solid to ride on for a few weeks yet?

    1st impression of the twist throttle, I hate it. Must have thumb throttle put back on and that I didn't get with it. All the extra parts and no OEM thumb throttle!

    What do ya mean??? I hear they work real well? You don't want a tire to dig in the snow, you want it to just scoop lightly and skim across the top and that is what they look like they are designed to do.

    I truley think you are just trying to PISS me off and it won't work!
