Yeah something seems weird and if nothing else unplug it for the pictures at least!

Before I got my rev, my lower back would get stiff and hurt. After my rev no back pain. I'm not pushing you to buy a rev, just the riding position

Hey Troy, did you ever find that old truck that was stolen from your storage shed?

I plug mine in when it gets below 20ish at night because I like having heat right away.

Mountain sleds have a nice suspension.

A little birdy told me you can buy a used 1100 turbo for $7,500.

I am going to for sure play around with adding a seat riser plus handlebar riser regardless.
And a track and tunnell extension to 136".

Nope and I ran into the deputy the other day that was dealing with it and no luck at all so far is what he said.

Sounds like some modding is about to happen!

That is too bad Troy. Hopefully someday something turns up. Maybe we can then do some "person" modding...dirty rotten theives.

I am going to slowly start accumulating parts as I find them cheap enough then work like crazy next fall to get it ready.

I might be going to the dark side myself. I know a guy who has a nice 2005 Chevy 2500 with the Duramax and 180,000 miles but it needs injectors and he does not have money to do it or knowledge to do it himself. Tempted to buy it if cheap enough and do the injectors.
