Dusty....

It's like your new boat. Gotta put it in the water in order to get it wet... Hello!!

I'll test ride your quad for a day... We'll see how well the Honda stands up to MY scrutiny. LOL..... I'll be gentle... NOT.

that reminds me of a friend of mine, he has a boat, always talks about taking it out...but never does! he tows it around but i've never seen it in the water!!!! a month or so ago they went caping, my buddy don brought his boat out and the johnny (the guy who tows his around)..bought his as well, but it never left the camp spot...

we've come to the conclusion that his boat is merely a trophy and it will NEVER get wet, except maybe when it starts rainging as he ows it around town...heh..
