The Element is cool because it is the box it came in.

Don't have to go that spendy to get space and rubber floor mats though - - my '60 International and our '79 F150 both come that way and with beds I'm not afraid to scratch

I rode yesterday for 4 hours, studs off the bike, in shorts. I'm about half way up Massachusetts, and the snow is 95% gone from the woods. It was a tough winter, but the nice weather is coming to you soon. If I head up I91 I can watch the snow go up and up on the side of the road. It was like an old fashioned winter. My arse is sore though.

Seriously looking at a couple of secondhanders though. One's in melbourne, the other is a couple of hundred out of my price range.

Well, I need some humor this evening. I just had our old black and tan coon hould put down. She was chained to a fence at a shelter when we found her about 10 years ago. She came home with us so we could find her a home..........we did,ours.I guess she was about 14 or so. Scared of her own shadow but somehow got snake bit about once a year.. We'll miss her.

Sorry to hear about your dog 66, thats no fun.
Also, how did you manage that Smashy? I went for a rather long XC jaunt today through some criminally overgrown singletrack. My bar ends didn't get caught, but my Pop-Loc lever did and snaped clean off.
