    haha. My very first wreck I thought I was too cool getting comfy doing indos when coming to stops. Until the front brake locked up and slung me over the handle bars and the bike flipped and broke all kinds of stuff. I wasn't going fast but did some damage to my GSX-R.

    What builder did you use? I'd imagine some are better than others. My grandparents built their home without any major issues, it was in a golf development if that matters.



    Wes, it's probably cheaper to just drive your truck than it is to pay for medical bills or a funeral.
