Lots of choices, lots of websites. The one on far right of this page looks like it has good parking.

It was replaced with another E3 ("I put another tire on the back. Yer gonna get killed. Pay me when you get the money" he sez..). I was considering going with the 888s


I found they did well on wet surfaces until they started getting quite a bit of wear and held the road really well. My big gripe was Dunlap not doing anything about the first one.
Hard to get good mileage out of a tire that sticks well, softer rubber that wears quickly I think.
I'll take the softer compound, I'm getting to old to be sliding down the road trying not to crash.

We've had several, it's a yearly occurrence here.

I've watched them drive out at a boat landing and drive right by the DNR's sign saying "Ice not safe".

Last year buddy was on about 8-10" of ice and a F250 towing a 21 foot Ice Castle came running by about 30 mph, he said standing on the ice was like being on a pogo stick it was moving so much, amazing the dumb *** didn't go through.

We were out on ATV's and had about 16" of ice, probably last time we'll get out as the ice is looking pretty black now, and that means it's about gone.
I will only drive out if the ice is about 18 or more inches thick and really don't care to, that's why I bought the ATV, it's a lot lighter.

Looking at google maps it is a straight shot across I-40. If Jack is gonna go we could travel together and I can pick up some slippery nipple tips along the way.

Looks nice Mick, and slippery nipple tips area good thing

Been a bit since you've posted dates, Tracy. I think that one is already reserved for mid July.

Who else is going solo? Sherri is not gonna be with me so perhaps a shared rental.

2nd week of July. I think maybe Greg was coming on his own, perhaps he'll clarify. Might check with OG Mark. Not sure right now about who else...

I see Hitler's phone recently sold for about a quarter million. There was a problem though. The cord was all tied up in knots, see?
