cap Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 Don't think so Twinstar......he's better-looking than Phil....and younger too I think. If he goes on a tirade about cows or cattle, at least we'll know why now. Quote
Ice Floe Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 I started on a BH47G4. After I finished my course, I thought ...finally time for something wicked... It was. A BH47G2 with wooden blades, four years older than myself. 55 m.p.h. flat-out. Awesome! Sure made you learn technique though. Quote
