One simply uses the hood (bonnet) off a car for a sled. Boot lid off a New Yorker works pretty good...stick to one from teh early 70's. 8^) Not that I'd EVER do something so dangerous or crazy down gravel/sand roads.

It's a cultural thing. Anyway, it's late here and I gotta crash. That means "sleep", btw, not what you might think on a m/c forum. Seeya later, alligator. SQ |
