Hi Terry,
Sound logical to me. I wannna be there when you punnch the throttle. Oh, I
forgot you don't need one of those things. A little nylon fishing line works
great. You can leave the fishhook on and hook it to the throttle rods on you
Solex carbs. Vroom, Vroom...boom. You gonna sell tickets? Wouldn't miss it
for the world. Don't forget to yell..Hey Y'all watch this!"
Gives people time to punch in 911. Do you still have the portable black and
decker blower hooked up on your hood? I know you were having trouble with your
neighbor always borrowing it to blow leaves. Did you solve the problem with
that long extension cord?
