Re: Lesson learned - Pay attention

I HATE SAND!!!!!!!!!!!! Way to stay up Patrick. I once had a nasty slide on water when I was riding a little Kawasaki 125 with its thin tires back in my teen years. I still proceed through wet spots, even with my big Silverado tires, with all caution and on high alert. I still remember that stomach lurch!

Do you always charge into a crowd where you don't know anybody and start throwing around HARSH remarks ??

That's not usually a good way to say "Hello".
